A recent picture of BLACKPINK's Lisa and Frédéric Arnault, the son of 'LVMH' CEO Bernard Arnault, has caught people's attention online.

Just last week, people started thinking Lisa and Frédéric might be dating because they were seen in Greece at the same time.

Now, there's a new photo of them sitting in a special waiting area at an airport in Los Angeles. This has sparked more rumors about them dating.

After BLACKPINK's concerts, some claim that Lisa boarded Frédéric's private jet in New Jersey and the two of them flew to Los Angeles. The other BLACKPINK members went to Las Vegas for their next show.

People are talking a lot about this new photo and sharing thoughts on Korean online communities.

Here are some things people are saying:

"So Lisa might not renew her contract and might leave the entertainment world to get married."

"Maybe this is why YG hasn't given a clear answer about BLACKPINK's contracts."

"They seem so much in love that they're always together."

"Does anyone else think that guy is being overly attached to Lisa?"

"Does this feel like a scene from 'Boys Over Flowers'?"

"Once their shows are done, they'll probably come to Korea together, Lisa will finish her contract, say her goodbyes, and then they'll go away together."

Meanwhile, Frédéric Arnault and BLACKPINK are known to be friends, partly because BLACKPINK is close to many brands related to 'LVMH'.

BLACKPINK's Rosé has topped the December 2024 Idol Personal Brand Reputation rankings, beating out big names like G-Dragon and BTS's members!

The Korea Corporate Reputation Research Institute analyzed massive amounts of big data from November 28 to December 28, 2024.

They collected 194,169,629 data points from 1,730 idol brands, a 4.60% increase compared to the previous month.

The data tracked consumer participation, media interest, and community engagement to measure the idol brand reputation index.

Rosé’s rise to the top came from a surge in online consumer interest, positive feedback, and her active communication with fans. Her song "Apartment," along with her birthday celebrations, generated buzz in the data analysis, with keywords like "participate, confess, record" and "Apartment, Rosé, birthday" making the list. Her positive-to-negative ratio in the data was an impressive 93.28%, showing how loved she is by fans and media alike.

Other idols who made the top 30 included G-Dragon, Karina of aespa, Jang Wonyoung from IVE, and BTS's Jin, Cha Eun Woo, Jungkook, and Jimin. Despite fierce competition, Rosé’s brand reputation has remained unbeatable, solidifying her place at the top in December.

Director Koo Chang-hwan of the Korea Corporate Reputation Research Institute commented on the findings, noting a 7.84% increase in brand expansion and an 8.53% rise in brand communication for Rosé. It’s clear that her influence and popularity are only growing stronger!
