Is BLACKPINK's Lisa Really Dating Frederic Arnault? Fans Think So
Last Updated:
Frederic Arnault's visit to Korea during BLACKPINK's concert further triggered speculations about their romance.
BLACKPINK's Lisa, aka Lalisa Manobal, alongside her group, launched their Deadline World Tour with a solo concert held at the Goyang Stadium in South Korea on July 5 and 6. Considered as the group's first all-stadium tour, it will conclude on January 25, 2026, at the Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong. Amidst this, Lisa's rumoured boyfriend and LVMH heir Frederic Arnault reportedly met the heads of Korea's top department stores, further triggering speculations about the duo's affair and the rapper using his connections in her career.
According to a report by Chosun Daily, Frederic Arnault, the CEO of Italian luxury brand Loro Piana, recently graced South Korea. During his visit, the rumoured boyfriend of BLACKPINK's Lisa also reportedly met executives from the country's four major department store chains. As per industry sources, Arnault held meetings with Jung Joon Ho of Lotte Department Store, Kim Young Hoon of Hanwha Galleria, Park Joo Hyung of Shinsegae, and Jung Ji Young of Hyundai Department Store.
Additionally, the report claimed that Arnault visited several high-end department store branches in Seoul to personally inspect Loro Piana shops along the way. It included Lotte Avenuel (Jamsil and Main branches), Shinsegae Gangnam and Main stores, Galleria Luxury Hall in Apgujeong, and Hyundai Department Store's Apgujeong main branch.
As the fourth son of Bernard Arnault, chairman of LVMH (the world's largest luxury conglomerate), Frédéric's meetings with the top executives and personal inspection of the shops were seemingly focused on business purposes. However, social media users couldn't help but link the main motif behind his trip to that of his rumoured girlfriend Lisa's ongoing concert in Korea.

But as BLACKPINK's Deadline World Tour has been scheduled in many other major cities across North America, Europe, and Asia, it remains to be seen whether Lisa will also be joined by Arnault over there.
Lisa and Arnault's dating rumours began in late 2022. Afterwards, they were spotted holding hands in Japan to enjoying mushy dates in Italy, and many more sparking romance speculation. Despite this, neither of them has publicly addressed the dating rumours.
