Not long after reportedly ending her relationship with billionaire heir Frédéric Arnault, Lisa is now rumored to have started dating handsome Thai actor Blue Pongtiwat, who is three years younger than her. The BLACKPINK star and Blue have reportedly been inseparable, with speculation growing to the point that their respective families are said to have met. On September 2, rumors surrounding Lisa and Blue once again became a major topic of discussion after Lisa posted a series of photos from Kyoto, Japan, on social media. Shortly afterward, Blue Pongtiwat shared photos from Japan that appeared strikingly similar to Lisa’s.
The locations featured in Blue Pongtiwat’s post reportedly matched the angle and setting of a restaurant where Chinese passersby had previously claimed to spot the actor dining with Lisa. As a result, the timing of their posts has been interpreted by some as a subtle confirmation that the two are dating and may have recently traveled together to Japan.
Earlier in August, a Chinese netizen claimed to have encountered Lisa and Blue Pongtiwat on a date in Japan. According to the account, the pair were extremely affectionate and looked much like newlyweds. Blue was reportedly attentive throughout the outing, helping Lisa with her food, carrying her bag and consistently staying close behind her as though keeping an eye on her. “They looked like newlyweds on their honeymoon. Blue seemed completely in love with Lisa, and he could hardly take his eyes off her,” the fan from China claimed.
However, Blue Pongtiwat’s apparent hints about his relationship with Lisa have not been well received by everyone. On X, numerous netizens accused the Thai actor of being less innocent than he appears, speculating that he may be deliberately capitalizing on the dating rumors to attract attention. Some pointed to his seemingly ambiguous posts and the repeated similarities between his updates and Lisa’s as an attempt to create a “Lovestagram” suggesting that they are a couple. Others went even further, bluntly accusing Blue of shamelessly “clout-chasing” through Lisa. Given Lisa’s enormous global profile, Blue is undoubtedly not at the same level of international recognition. Being linked to the youngest member of BLACKPINK has nevertheless brought the Thai actor a significant amount of attention in recent months.
Born in 2000, Blue Pongtiwat is known for his handsome appearance and has been dubbed the “Thai Cha Eun Woo.” His acting career has also been gaining momentum. Lisa and Blue reportedly first became acquainted in 2016, before Lisa officially debuted with BLACKPINK.
Lisa is also rumored to have been devoting considerable time to nurturing her relationship with Blue Pongtiwat. Over the past several months, she has reportedly spent much of her time in her native Thailand rather than traveling abroad as frequently as she did in the past. In August, the two stars were reportedly spotted traveling together from Hong Kong to Japan.
Before that, the rumored couple had been seen together on numerous occasions in Thailand. The BLACKPINK maknae was initially spotted shopping with Blue Pongtiwat at a shopping mall, where the two appeared relaxed and cheerful. Later, during Lisa’s 29th birthday celebration in Thailand in March, which was attended by her parents, Blue reportedly stood unusually close to her, prompting speculation that he was subtly signaling their relationship.
In early July, Lisa was reportedly seen having dinner with her parents and Blue Pongtiwat at an upscale restaurant in Thailand in an intimate and relaxed setting. Not long afterward, the Thai actor was again spotted accompanying Lisa for meals and shopping trips. Blue’s repeated presence alongside Lisa in her everyday life has led many to believe that the BLACKPINK star may be deeply immersed in a romance with the three-years-younger Thai actor.
