Blackpink member Lisa has reignited dating rumours with Thai actor Blue Pongtiwat after the pair were reportedly spotted together in Bangkok on October 19, adding to months of speculation about their relationship.

Photographs circulating on social media showed the two walking along Song Wat Road in Thailand’s capital, according to The Korea Herald.

The latest sighting followed reports that Pongtiwat had joined Lisa and members of her family for dinner at a Bangkok restaurant on October 15.

Images shared online appeared to show the actor dining with Lisa’s mother, further fuelling speculation that the two may be romantically involved.

Neither Lisa nor Pongtiwat has publicly confirmed a relationship.

The pair have reportedly been spotted together in several countries, including Japan and Hong Kong, since rumours about their relationship began circulating earlier this year.

In September, a video showing a man and woman walking arm in arm in London attracted attention after social media users claimed they were Lisa and Pongtiwat. However, the footage was too unclear to establish their identities.

Some fans have cautioned against interpreting the sightings as evidence of a romance, noting that the two have reportedly been close friends for years.

Who is Blue Pongtiwat, Lisa’s rumoured boyfriend?

Born in 2000, Blue Pongtiwat Tangwancharoen is a 26-year-old Thai actor and model, three years younger than Lisa.

He is best known internationally for his appearance in the Netflix romantic comedy series Ready, Set, Love. Some Korean fans have nicknamed him «Thailand’s Cha Eun-woo» because of his appearance.

The latest speculation follows reports that Lisa may have ended her previously rumoured relationship with Frédéric Arnault, son of LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault.

Lisa and Arnault had been linked since 2023 after several reported sightings together in Europe and the United States. Neither publicly confirmed a relationship.

In June, Vanity Fair added to speculation about a possible split after noting Arnault’s absence from Lisa’s birthday celebrations.

Lisa has not commented on either the reported breakup or her alleged relationship with Pongtiwat.

Meanwhile, the singer is preparing to release her solo EP, Press Play, on October 23, following the September release of her single SaWaDiKa.
