Once again, the spotlight shines on BLACKPINK's Lisa as her alleged romantic ties with Frederic Arnault, the son of Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH) Group chairman, are reignited.
Chinese entertainment news outlets have been abuzz recently with another round of dating rumors swirling around Lisa and Frederic Arnault.
In particular, Sohu.com has reported that Lisa was spotted enjoying a holiday with the Arnault family.
Lisa had consistently been sharing updates of her trip to Italy via her social media accounts. What's more intriguing is that the locations Lisa visited matched the places featured in photos shared by LVMH's second daughter-in-law, Gerald Guiot. Further stirring the rumor mill, the restaurant where Lisa dined was also the same spot captured in photos by Jean Arnault, the youngest son's fiancée.
Frederic Arnault is not just any name. He's the son of Bernard Arnault, the chairman of LVMH, ranked as the world's second-wealthiest individual by Forbes. Currently, Frederic serves as the CEO of TAG Heuer, a luxury watch brand under the LVMH umbrella.
Last month, the pair was at the center of romantic speculations when they were sighted at a Parisian restaurant. Various international media reported that Lisa was seen having a delightful time with Frederic, sans makeup.
Witness accounts further backed the claims, suggesting they seemed engrossed in a lively conversation outdoors. However, some argue that it was merely friendly as Frederic is known to be acquainted with other BLACKPINK members as well. It's also noted that they were not alone at the restaurant, suggesting that any romantic speculations might be overblown.
Previously, Frederic had attended a BLACKPINK concert in Los Angeles and even shared a photo with the group on social media.
Amidst all these, Lisa's agency, YG Entertainment, has not issued any official statement regarding the matter.
On a related note, BLACKPINK is currently on their grand world tour 'BORN PINK', which boasts an audience of approximately 1.5 million, marking it as the largest-scale world tour ever by a K-pop girl group.
