Fans Speculate On BLACKPINK Lisa's Ex-Boyfriend's Identity Following 'DREAM' Short Film Release
Following the release of her new short film 'DREAM', starring Kentaro Sakaguchi, fans noticed similarities between her lyrics and those of another singer, as though they were speaking to each other. So, who is this mystery ex-boyfriend? Let's find out.
Fans have been flooding social media to discuss Lisa's new music video and short film for her song 'DREAM'. Many have praised the visuals, the acting, and her chemistry with the popular Japanese actor. One of the main topics of discussion was the identity of her ex-boyfriend, who may have inspired the song. Many suggested it could be ONE (정제원) (also known as Jaewon), a former YG Entertainment idol.
The speculation arose from similarities between the lyrics of the BLACKPINK member's 'DREAM' and the male singer's 'Last Cigarette'. Fans believe the Thai artist may have been responding to his song through her own lyrics, as they appear to align closely. In addition, some fans pointed out that the date Lisa posted photos of a lake (a prominent image in the short film) was around the same time ONE released his album 'PRVT 01', a project centred on separation and loss.
Speaking of lakes, during a 2019 interview to promote 'Goodbye Summer', the series he starred in that year, ONE said he would like to be reborn as a body of water (a river or lake), emphasising the peaceful environment and the way sunlight sparkles on the surface. His character in the series was also suffering from a terminal illness. Fans noted how oddly specific this detail is in Lisa's 'DREAM' film, in which Kentaro Sakaguchi gives a similar answer before passing away.
The rapper also once shared Post Malone's song 'Goodbye' on her Instagram Story, around the time ONE left YG Entertainment. While these theories may sound plausible, unless either idol opens up about their past relationships, there is no way to verify whether they actually dated. What do you think? Do you believe these two used to be lovers, or were the lyrics and imagery in the 'DREAM' short film purely coincidental?

Blackpink make history at Wembley Stadium with record-breaking Deadline tour stop
LONDON, Aug 16 — Blackpink lit up Wembley Stadium last night, proving once again why they're the biggest girl group on the planet, as the K-pop queens made history as the first South Korean female act to ever headline the legendary venue — in front of a sold-out crowd of 70,000 screaming fans. The four members — Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa — now share the Wembley stage with icons like Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, BTS, and Oasis. Fans were treated to two and a half hours of razor-sharp choreography, stadium-shaking hooks, and plenty of heart, as the group's sisterly bond beamed just as brightly as the stage lights, according to the BBC. Lisa called the moment 'an absolute honour,' while Jennie admitted it still felt 'a little unreal,' and Rosé summed it up as 'a whole other level.' The Wembley set capped off the European stretch of their Deadline world tour, which is hitting 31 dates in 16 cities, after starting in Seoul alongside the release of their rave-flavoured new single Jump. That track has already made history on YouTube, pulling in 26 million views in just 24 hours, and the tour itself is on pace to smash Blackpink's own record for the highest-grossing tour by a female group, previously overtaking the Spice Girls in 2023. The only other K-pop act to headline Wembley so far is BTS, making Blackpink's achievement even more groundbreaking. The night kicked off in spectacular fashion with pyrotechnics, lasers, and a triple-punch of hits: Kill This Love, How You Like That, and Pink Venom. Their choreography was all precision and power, with synchronised moves and smart camera tricks giving every fan in the stadium a close-up of their bias. Each member brought her own flavour to the stage after a year of solo projects — Rosé with her Bruno Mars collab APT, Lisa with an acting turn in The White Lotus, Jennie with her cheeky viral hit Like Jennie, and Jisoo headlining the K-drama Snowdrop. But the fan-favourite moments came when they reunited as the 'One True 4,' blasting through group anthems like Pretty Savage, Forever Young, Whistle, and the mega-hit DDU-DU DDU-DU. The finale saw them tearing into Jump one last time, letting loose with playful antics before pulling into a group hug — eight thumbs in the air, declaring not just a comeback, but the start of Blackpink's next chapter.

Kinky knots: Japanese bondage becomes art
TOKYO - In Tokyo, a man watches a woman slowly bind another with ropes attached to chains hanging from the ceiling. But this is no S&M bar, it's a workshop led by "shibari" master Hajime Kinoko. Kinoko teaches the knot-tying techniques of Japanese bondage, untangling the practice from its associations with kink and emphasising instead art and aesthetics. "I see attaching not only people, but also objects or spaces... as a form of painting on canvas," the 48-year-old told AFP at his studio in central Tokyo. "It's simply another type of expression." Kinoko discovered shibari -- the art of ropes -- in the 2000s while managing an S&M joint in Roppongi, an area of Tokyo known for its nightclubs and bars. "I wasn't particularly drawn to fetishism at first," he said. "At the time, the focus of BDSM was often on the dirty or degrading side, but I didn't see that part of it as necessary," he told AFP. Kinoko learned how to tie a woman's body by watching others before establishing his own style "based on beauty". He started staging performances with a more artistic perspective, and attracted a growing audience. "My goal is not to hurt... I don't place myself in a hierarchical relationship," he said. - Criminal beginnings - The roots of shibari date back to the Edo period (1603-1868) when feudal lords used "hojojutsu" to tie up criminals. The practice took an erotic turn in the 20th century through Ito Seiu's illustrations and books by Dan Oniroku, many of which became -- like "Double Rope Torture" (1985) -- pornographic movies.

Photo by Richard A. Brooks/AFP Another word for this in Japanese is "kinbaku" but this "refers to precise and restrictive techniques, such as wrists tied behind the back", Kinoko explained. "Shibari is a broader, freer term. There is no single definition," he said. The artist enjoys marrying the traditional heritage with an avant-garde approach and employing it in novel settings. In Tokyo's Shibuya district, he enveloped an egg-shaped house called the "Natural Eclipse" in blue rope like a spider's web, transforming it into a living sculpture. "It was the missing piece," the owner of the building, who agreed to the project after seeing another of Kinoko's works, told AFP. "Today, passersby stop to photograph it. It has become a place of interaction," he told AFP, declining to give his name. Kinoko installed large cubes of red rope on top of a Tokyo shopping mall and erected a "shibari sanctuary" at the Burning Man festival in the United States in 2017. "Why not stretch networks of ropes around the Eiffel Tower?" he said with a smile. - Create connections - Kinoko began offering workshops in London 20 years ago, before inviting fellow Japanese shibari masters to introduce their art to the European public. "Shibari then spread very quickly," he says. But international success has not been without risk. "When I saw people tying without knowing what they were doing, I realised it was necessary to teach. Shibari can be dangerous," he said. Reputed to be a hard taskmaster, he founded his own shibari school, Ichinawakai, where he trains a new generation of students, around 40 percent of them women. One of them, Sen, travelled from France to learn the techniques. "I discovered him in Paris during a performance... He has freed himself from the original dynamics," the 25-year-old told AFP. Kinoko offers "certification", although this is not an official licence. Students must pass a 10-stage course, master a variety of knots and guarantee the safety of those they are tying up. "You have to know how to communicate, make things beautiful and not hurt. That's what I try to convey. I feel responsible," Kinoko said. "I want shibari to transform society," he said. "Because, deep down, shibari is a way to create connections." - AFP

Move over, Labubu – Chiikawa is the new craze in Hong Kong
HONG KONG: Step aside, Labubu – there's a new sensation in town. Meet Chiikawa, a small and cute hamster-like character from a popular Japanese manga series whose creations and merchandise have now taken Hong Kong by storm. Chiikawa, the titular character, has a big round face and beady eyes. It is gentle, timid, and prone to tears. Its name is derived from a Japanese phrase that means 'something small and cute'. It does not talk, but can sing 'u uwawa uwa'. The manga series started as a web comic on Twitter in 2020, following the adventures of Chiikawa and friends – including Hachiware, a cheerful cat-like creature, and Usagi, a fearless rabbit-like character – as they navigate daily challenges at work and celebrate small wins. The story was adapted into a TV anime series in Japan in 2022. For Chiikawa fans like Elizabeth Chow, the appeal goes far beyond its cuteness. While the cartoon might appear like it caters only to children, its storylines and characters address deeper issues that strike a chord with adults, said Chow. For example, the characters work in menial jobs like weed pulling or fruit labelling to make ends meet. Living from pay cheque to pay cheque, they have to budget for simple pleasures like treats and meals with friends. 'Although the setting is 'kawaii' (cute) on the surface, it is an adult world where the characters have to face everyday hurdles and stress,' said Chow, a finance industry worker who started following the series in 2025 after her friends shared it with her. 'With their friends' support during periods of burnout, they navigate and achieve every minor but meaningful victory. These stories offer therapeutic and comforting experiences, as viewers witness the support and perseverance displayed by the characters in overcoming their daily struggles that mirror the viewers' own anxieties.' The anime offers a form of 'empathic escapism', showing that 'it's okay to struggle – as long as we stay resilient and persist, we will find joy in life', Chow said. Going viral Hong Kongers' interest in Chiikawa started in 2024, with online searches for the comic character rising steadily across the year, according to Google Trends. But the craze truly took off around the summer of 2025, when more Chiikawa merchandise and exclusive products from brand collaborations arrived in Hong Kong and were quickly snapped up by fans. The queue for the 'one time chance' to buy Chiikawa merchandise from the exhibition. - Photo: ST The city's first Chiikawa pop-up store with Instagrammable photo spots opened at Tsim Sha Tsui's Harbour City mall in April and immediately drew snaking overnight queues. Brands like Uniqlo, Converse, Casetify, Chow Tai Fook and 7-Eleven started launching limited-edition Chiikawa collections of apparel, sneakers, mobile phone cases, jewellery, tumblers, keychains and so on. By July, the adorable characters could be seen everywhere across the city, even at MTR stations where gantry gates played Chiikawa sound effects as passengers tapped their cards. In late July, McDonald's started offering Chiikawa-themed Happy Meal toys. A week later, the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) and Trade Development Council (HKTDC) jointly launched and promoted a large-scale exhibition that centred on the comic character. The Chiikawa Days exhibition features life-size interactive 3D displays and the characters in the form of dim sum dishes like har kow and siew mai. - Photo: ST The Chiikawa Days exhibition, which features life-size interactive 3D displays and the characters in the form of dim sum dishes like har kow and siew mai, opened on Aug 1 at the K11 Musea mall in Tsim Sha Tsui. Originally slated to run for three weeks, it was extended to end-August on opening day after the first two rounds of tickets sold out within 30 minutes. Unscrupulous scalpers are reselling the HK$180 (S$29) tickets for as much as HK$500. Exclusive collector sets of figurines from the event are also being resold online at up to five times their retail price. A special Chiikawa-themed ramen restaurant is set to open on Saturday (Aug 16) at the Langham Place mall in Mong Kok. The Chiikawa Ramen Buta store will be the first such restaurant to open outside of Japan, which has four eateries of the same theme. Mental refuge Psychologist Adrian Low attributes the popularity of Chiikawa in Hong Kong to a combination of psychological, cultural and marketing factors. 'The character's innocence and positivity provide a mental refuge from daily pressures in a fast-paced, high-stress city like Hong Kong,' said Dr Low, chairman of the Hong Kong Association of Psychology. Second, he said, Hong Kongers' longstanding appreciation for Japanese pop culture, in particular the 'kawaii' (cute) aesthetic, makes Chiikawa 'instantly appealing'. Third, the HKTB and HKTDC's 'aggressive marketing campaigns also created a sense of exclusivity and urgency, with social media amplification further fuelling the craze as people seek to participate in a shared cultural moment'. 'The collective enthusiasm for Chiikawa fosters a sense of community. Owning merchandise or attending events thus becomes a way to connect with others and feel like a part of a larger trend,' the psychologist noted. At the Chiikawa Days exhibition, fans sported Chiikawa T-shirts, hairbands and clips, carried bags with transparent pockets showing off their personal Chiikawa collection, and posed for photos with their plushies in front of the displays.

'I first started liking Chiikawa because they are so cute; watching the anime of these pure and innocent characters helps me to relax after a long day at work,' said Chan, a legal professional. 'They are also very relatable,' she said, recalling a scene where Hachiware had to save up to buy a camera, which reminded her of her own childhood. The Chiikawa Days exhibition was extended to end-August on opening day after the first two rounds of tickets sold out within 30 minutes. - Photo: ST Chiikawa versus McDull Hong Kong's Chiikawa craze echoes a similar wave of enthusiasm in an animated pig called McDull, created by local cartoonists in the mid-1990s. It took the city by storm in the 2000s and again in the 2010s. The daily challenges faced by McDull – a very ordinary but kind-hearted pig born to a single parent – reflected the city's struggles and aspirations during a period of economic uncertainty and political transition, according to Dr Low. 'His underdog story and perseverance resonated deeply with Hong Kongers, symbolising resilience and hope,' he said. Chiikawa, meanwhile, 'doesn't carry heavy societal messages but provides a light-hearted escape… a form of emotional relief in a highly competitive and polarised society', he noted. For brand strategist Ken Ip, Chiikawa's 'blend of vulnerability, perseverance and subtle melancholy mirrors the emotional state of many urban youths in Hong Kong who feel overwhelmed, yet continue to quietly push through'. The comic character's merchandise thus 'becomes a vessel for self-expression and emotional connection', said Dr Ip, an assistant professor at Saint Francis University's Rita Tong Liu School of Business and Hospitality Management. 'Being seen at a Chiikawa pop-up, lining up for exclusive merch, or sharing themed coffee photos, is as much about social currency as it is about fandom.' Soft power hub What makes Hong Kong's Chiikawa craze particularly special, Dr Ip said, is how much effort the local authorities have put in to spearhead and promote the campaigns centred on the anime character, in a bid to boost consumption and tourism. HKTB partnered major travel agencies to offer packages that include exhibition tickets, flights and hotel stays. It also worked with online platforms like Klook to offer special packages targeting South-east Asian markets including Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia, where Chiikawa is also gaining some popularity. 'This distinctive phenomenon reflects a broader shift in how Hong Kong positions itself as a soft power hub in the region,' Dr Ip said. 'It isn't just about pop culture. It's part of a strategic recognition that emotional consumer experiences – particularly those anchored in lifestyle, IP, and tourism – are now legitimate economic drivers.' IP refers to intellectual property, intangible creative designs or symbols used in commerce. 'The government understands that traditional economic levers like finance and logistics must now be complemented by cultural and creative industries,' he added. Hong Kong's retail economy has been struggling post-pandemic. Retail sales finally started ticking up only in May, after falling for 14 months straight as tourists spent less and local consumers shopped and dined in Shenzhen instead. 'By supporting or co-branding with IP-led experiences, agencies like HKTB are essentially turning fandom into foot traffic, and foot traffic into economic recovery,' Dr Ip said. AllRightsReserved, the creative brand that designed and organised Hong Kong's Chiikawa Days exhibition, said 30 per cent of visitors to the event are tourists from abroad and that it expects attendance to reach hundreds of thousands by the end of August. Its founder, S.K. Lam, said the exhibition sought to 'blend Chiikawa with iconic Hong Kong culture to create a stronger emotional connection with visitors', which it achieved by featuring the characters alongside Hong Kong's dim sum traditions and against the backdrop of the city's skyline.

Chan, the legal professional, already has a range of Chiikawa collectibles and apparel, and is happy to shell out for more related experiences and merchandise. 'I see shades of myself in the characters, so they mean a lot to me,' she said. 'As a child, I could not afford to collect such items, but as a working adult now, I can.' - The Straits Times/ANN
