BLACKPINK’s Lisa sparks dating rumours after being spotted with Thai actor Blue Pongtiwat

BLACKPINK’s Lisa has once again become the center of online discussion after a recent public sighting in Thailand went viral. With the group currently on a short break between dates of their DEADLINE world tour, members have been using their downtime to pursue personal schedules, relax, and spend time with loved ones.

Lisa, who often returns to Thailand whenever her schedule allows, was spotted enjoying a casual shopping trip with family and friends. Given that BLACKPINK’s next tour stop is in Singapore, many fans noted that her decision to spend time at home made perfect sense both geographically and personally.

What drew attention, however, were video clips and photos circulating on social media that showed Lisa trying on hats with a woman and a man. One particular viral tweet labeled the pair as “couple goals,” triggering speculation about the male companion. Lisa is already being romantically linked to Frédéric Arnault in recent months.

It didn’t take long for fans to identify the man as 'Blue' Pongtiwat Tangwancharoen, a well-known Thai actor, singer, and model under Channel 3. At just 25 years old, Blue has gained popularity through projects such as Ready, Set, Love, Intern in My Heart, and Happy New Year.

However, those familiar with Lisa’s background were quick to shut down dating rumours. Blue is not a new figure in her life — the two have been close friends for years. The actor even attended BLACKPINK’s recent tour stop in Thailand, sharing a friendly photo with Lisa backstage. Locals have often spotted them together whenever the idol returns home, reinforcing that their bond has always been rooted in friendship.

They're friends and he's 3 years younger than Lisa. Lisa doesn't date guys who are younger than her. https://t.co/2rS7tpuPNh

Some Lisa fans are so male starved that they go around forcing men on Lisa. Not even Jisoo, Jennie or Rosè fandom will do this kind of shit to their fave male friends. https://t.co/FWwvf6fwHN — fosni lei (@YanLei051) November 26, 2025

Many netizens responded to the speculation with criticism, reminding others that “friendship between a man and woman can exist without dating.” Fans also emphasised that Lisa’s personal life is her own, and casual outings should not automatically ignite romance rumours.
