BLACKPINK's Lisa spotted repeatedly with Thai actor Blue Pontiawat amid Arnault breakup rumors
Since September, photos and videos from Bangkok, London, Hong Kong, and Japan have shown Lisa and Thai actor Blue Pontiawat together across multiple countries.
Bangkok, London, and a family dinner
On October 19, photos surfaced of BLACKPINK's Lisa and Thai actor Blue Pontiawat walking together in Bangkok. The next day, an overseas netizen shared additional images of the two in Thailand.
Bangkok wasn't new ground. October 15 brought photos of Lisa, Blue, and Lisa's mother at a restaurant in Thailand. September had already circulated a video of them walking arm-in-arm on a London street. They've also been spotted together in Hong Kong and Japan.
Neither has commented on the dating rumors.
Who is Blue Pontiawat?
Blue Pontiawat is a Thai actor and model born in 2000, three years younger than Lisa (born 1997). One outlet reported his birth year as 1997, but two sources list 2000. Among fans locally and globally, he goes by "Thai Cha Eun-woo"—a nod to Korean actor Cha Eun-woo.
The Arnault chapter
Lisa had been linked to Frédéric Arnault, son of LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault, since 2023. Dating rumors surfaced repeatedly. In June, U.S. media raised breakup speculation. Neither side confirmed anything.
The timing matters. The Lisa-Blue sightings landed just after those June breakup reports. Lisa's solo mini-album PRESS PLAY drops October 23.
