Hey BLINKs — quick update from Lisa’s downtime! After wrapping some DEADLINE world tour dates, Lisa was recently spotted back in Thailand enjoying time with family and friends, and fans quickly noticed a familiar face in the mix.
While out shopping she was filmed trying on hats alongside a woman and a man, and those clips went viral — some fans called the pair “couple goals,” even though Lisa has been the subject of dating rumors with Frédéric Arnault. The man in the photos is actor/singer/model Pongtiwat “Blue” Tangwancharoen, a 25-year-old star under Channel 3 who’s appeared in projects like Ready, Set, Love and Intern in My Heart.
Fans on social media were split: some swooned and speculated about romance, while many others pushed back, saying a close friendship between a man and woman doesn’t automatically mean dating. Blue has been seen with Lisa several times when she’s home, and he even attended a recent tour stop in Thailand.
Quick facts for anyone catching up:
- Lisa (Lalisa Manoban) is BLACKPINK’s Thai member and one of the group’s standout performers — she’s currently on the DEADLINE world tour.
- Blue Pongtiwat Tangwancharoen is a 25-year-old Thai actor, singer and model signed to Channel 3, known for dramas like Ready, Set, Love and Intern in My Heart.
- Lisa was spotted in Thailand between tour dates; the group’s next stop is Singapore, so a hometown visit makes sense.
Bottom line: cute hangout, lots of fan reactions, but nothing official — looks like Lisa is enjoying family time back home and hanging out with longtime friends. Let’s give her space to enjoy her break!
