BLACKPINK member Lisa has once again become the center of online dating rumors after social media posts featured her in an affectionate pose with her longtime friend, former Thai idol Pleum Nachkhu, according to Koreaboo. On September 5, Pleum shared several photos on social media, including one showing him tightly hugging Lisa while she wears a bright red outfit, smiles, and leans into him.
BLACKPINK’s Lisa Sparks Fresh Dating Speculation Following Close Photo With Longtime Friend Pleum Nachkhu
The post quickly drew intense attention and sparked questions among netizens about whether the pair might be more than friends. Accompanying the images, Pleum wrote, I’ve been so happy since yesterday that I’ve been screaming. It’s really amazing,
as reported by Koreaboo. However, reports emphasize that there is no indication the two are dating romantically. Instead, they share a history stretching back more than a decade, having known each other since they were 10 years old and previously working together as part of the Thai dance crew We Zaa Cool before Lisa became a trainee under YG Entertainment.
Background on Lisa’s Private Life and Recent Dating Speculation
The latest online buzz arrives amid a flurry of broader speculation surrounding Lisa’s romantic life. Earlier, Chosunbiz noted that Lisa confessed to a secret dating experience in her new documentary, titled “Always Lalisa,” where she remarked on the strict limitations placed on idols within K-pop culture.
For years, Lisa was frequently linked to Frédéric Arnault, the son of the LVMH family, after the two were spotted together at various public events and vacations starting in 2023. Although neither side officially confirmed a relationship, the association generated widespread marriage speculation. More recently, however, reports indicated that the pair may have parted ways, with an American fashion magazine noting in June that a representative from Lisa’s side requested no questions regarding her romance.
Rumors Involving Thai Actor Blue Pongtiwat
Before the recent photo with Pleum Nachkhu surfaced, Lisa was also linked in online communities to Thai actor, singer, and model Blue Pongtiwat. According to The Korea Herald via Herald Corporation, rumors spread rapidly across social media after alleged sightings of Lisa and Blue together in Thailand, Hong Kong, and Japan, alongside claims that Blue attended family birthday celebrations.
Born in 2000 and three years younger than Lisa, Blue is internationally recognized for his appearance in the Netflix series Ready, Set, Love
and is sometimes referred to by domestic fans as Thailand’s Cha Eun-woo.
Neither Lisa nor Blue Pongtiwat has commented on those particular dating rumors, and observers have noted that the two have long been known as close friends who frequently met in Thailand.
