Did BLACKPINK's Lisa use her Dream MV to cover up past with Jaewon? Blind item makes shocking claim
Just as BLACKPINK's Lisa's solo momentum soared with the release of her music video Dream, an unexpected twist shook the fandom. A gossip site notorious for fueling celebrity scandals claimed the video was more than art - it was a weapon, meant to rewrite the story of her past love. For BLINKs already keeping an eye on her rumoured romance with Frédéric Arnault, the timing couldn't feel more suspicious - especially with speculation pulling in other male celebrities, including BTS' Jungkook in the mix. The "two-colour group" blind items Previously, the site Crazy Days & Nights shared a blind item about a member of a "two-colour group" secretly getting married. Fans quickly linked the phrase to BLACKPINK, with Lisa singled out due to her frequent dating rumours. Since then, "two-colour" has become shorthand in blind items that are believed to reference her. On August 13, another blind item raised eyebrows: it alleged that a "two-color singer" was releasing a film about her ex to convince fans she was the heartbroken one - when in reality, she had "almost destroyed his life." The post added that even her family and friends supposedly "feel bad for him." Dream MV and the Jaewon connection Soon after, Lisa released her music video for Dream, which narrates a story of regret and lost love. Many fans noted parallels between the blind item's timing and the MV's themes. The ex in question is widely speculated to be former YG Entertainment idol One (Jaewon), who mysteriously disappeared from the industry in 2019 - a year prominently referenced in Dream. DREAM // out now 🖤 Viral fan theories spark debate A viral TikTok and YouTube video discussing the blind item linked it directly to Lisa, pointing out her rumoured romance with Fredéríc Arnault as the "new relationship" mentioned. In the comments, some netizens questioned the eerie coincidence of Jaewon's career halt, while others argued that Dream reflects Lisa's remorse rather than manipulation. While blind items are unverified by nature, Crazy Days & Nights has a history of publishing stories later proven true - including high-profile crimes. This track record has kept readers hooked, even when the claims are impossible to confirm. For all the latest K-drama, K-pop, and Hallyuwood updates, keep following our coverage here.

Fans Speculate On BLACKPINK Lisa's Ex-Boyfriend's Identity Following 'DREAM' Short Film Release
Although it has never been officially confirmed by the idol herself, BLACKPINK's Lisa (리사) appears to be in a happy relationship with LVMH Watches' chief executive, Frédéric Arnault. Even Tan Sri Dato' Michelle Yeoh hinted at their romance in a recent Instagram post. Before the businessman entered the picture, however, there were rumours that the rapper had dated a fellow idol, specifically, someone who was previously under the same label. 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? Sources: Twitter, TikTok (1)(2)(3), Koreaboo

BTS' Jungkook's Instagram update revives famous 'Liskook' ship as BLACKPINK's Lisa drops Dream MV hinting at past relationship
All K-pop shippers have been in full detective mode ever since BLACKPINK's Lisa dropped her new music video, DREAM, which appears to reference a past relationship with a heartbreaking ending. Starring Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi, DREAM premiered on Thursday (August 14) and instantly reignited the long-dormant #Liskook ship. And who is that, you ask? None other than BTS member Jungkook. Adding fuel to the speculation, Jungkook recently shared an intriguing new update on Instagram. LISA's DREAM music video delivers a heartfelt cinematic story with Kentaro Sakaguchi BLACKPINK's LISA has unveiled her latest single, DREAM, with a music video that feels more like a short film than a standard pop release. Co-starring popular Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi and directed by Ojun Kwon, the project marks a notable shift from LISA's signature high-energy tracks, embracing a slower, more soulful ballad style. The song's lyrics dwell on themes of yearning and the fragile hope of reconnection, wrapped in imagery that blurs the edges of memory and reality, which hints at a love story that was unfortunately cut short. Rather than relying on flashy choreography or elaborate sets, the video focuses on soft camera movements, muted lighting, and a nostalgic colour palette to set the tone. While DREAM might surprise fans expecting her usual pop punch, it showcases another side of LISA — one that leans into vulnerability and storytelling. The combination of her emotive delivery and Sakaguchi's subtle performance creates a layered portrait of love and distance that lingers long after the video ends. Jungkook's Instagram post fuels renewed dating rumours with BLACKPINK's Lisa Jungkook has stirred fresh chatter online after fans began linking his recent Instagram activity to BLACKPINK's Lisa. The timing was enough to 'reignite' long-standing dating rumours between the two idols, which have occasionally surfaced over the years. It was also noticeable because Jungkook has barely updated anything on his personal Instagram account that he recently launched. Just hours before Lisa unveiled her new DREAM music video, Jungkook posted an Instagram story featuring the track Stay by Gracie Abrams. While on its own the post might seem unrelated, fans quickly began drawing connections — noting that the song's themes of longing and emotional distance echo the tone of Lisa's ballad. Jungkook later followed up with another Instagram song recommendation, this time featuring Weather by Novo Amor. Some netizens suggested the timing was too coincidental to ignore, especially given that both idols are among the most-watched figures in K-pop and any overlap in their activities tends to spark speculation. Others argued it could simply be a case of fans reading too much into a song choice, pointing out that Jungkook has often shared music he enjoys without deeper meaning. It gets to a point…😀😀😀liskook truther in me is coming out#LISAxDREAM Jungkook I cannot defend you your timings are kinda……😭 Regardless of intent, the post fuelled conversation across social media, with K-pop fans dissecting the possible link between Jungkook's story and Lisa's release.
