BLACKPINK star Lisa's ‘Dream' about an ex-lover> Fans speculate rumoured romance as lyrics from Jaewon's song go viral: 'Why is it harder for me to..."
BLACKPINK's Lisa has been going viral online after she released the emotional short film for her song 'Dream'. She starred opposite the popular Japanese actor Sakaguchi Kentaro in the clip, where the two represented the story of a couple going through different emotions. The video, since its release, has sparked a lot of rumours online about who the song itself could be about. Many have been connecting it to one particular idol who used to work under the same label as the 'Money' singer. Lisa's new song about idol One (Jaewon) Jaewon, who used to go by his stage name One, was once a popular idol working under the same label as Lisa. The singer was gaining a lot of popularity, and since his departure from the management agency in 2019, he had even released an album that managed to get a lot of praise from the public. He has since then stayed away from the limelight; however, due to recent rumours about the song being about his breakup with Lisa, he has managed to go viral again. One of his songs has also gone viral as well, as BLACKPINK fans and other netizens have been drawing comparisons between the lyrics from his song to those of 'Dream'. One of the lyrics from both of the songs that have been heavily compared by netizens reads, 'I hope you can understand me, though it might be hard for you to. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pierce Brosnan's Wife Lost 120 Pounds - This Is Her Now Undo Actually, it's hard for me too, so don't ask me anymore, yeah', from Jaewon's song 'Last Cigarette'. Some of the lyrics from Lisa's 'Dream' have been taken up in comparison, with many pointing out that the song seems to be responding to Jaewon's song. The lyrics from her song read, 'I guess that I'm taking what I can get, 'cause I don't get nothing new from your friends, If you got the harder side of the break, then why is it harder for me to take?' Rumours of breakup with beau Frederic Arnault Even beyond that, as the song was released, some fans and netizens even wondered whether it was about the singer's latest beau, businessman Frederic Arnault, as well. The two allegedly started dating in 2022 and have been constantly seen with each other at public events and concerts. They have even been spotted multiple times on vacation as well. Recently, fans started pointing out that the two may have parted ways and presented proof about the matter. Many cited that the release of the song, along with Lisa being spotted in Capri, Italy, on vacation without her alleged beau, pointed towards the fact that the two may be over.
