• Brian Opens Up About Why He's Still Single at 43

    On the April 25 episode of MBC’s ‘Where is My Home’, singers Park Joon Hyung and Brian embarked on a mission to find a countryside home near the capital for a father living alone.

    In this episode, they sought a new rural home for the client’s father, currently residing in Uiseong, Gyeongsang Province, desiring to spend his twilight years amidst nature. His family, concerned about his solitary life, is searching for a rural house near the capital for easy visits.

    The preferred locations were Cheonan in Chungcheongnam-do and Ganghwa in Incheon. They desired a property with ample space for farming and a yard, with a hospital, train station, and terminal within a 30-minute drive.

    The ideal property would have a spacious yard, kitchen, and warehouse for family gatherings on weekends. Their budget was set between 200 to 300 million KRW (145,760~218,640 USD).

    As the two singers journeyed with comedian Jang Dong Min, Park Joon Hyung shared anecdotes about his married life and living with his wife and daughter.

    He revealed, “When I first got married, I had many arguments with my wife for the first six months. My wife is similar to Brian. I prefer to clean all at once, but she can’t stand the mess.” However, Park Joon Hyung confessed, “There are things I can’t stand either. It’s dishes piled up in the sink and unorganized garbage.”

    Brian pointed out, “You’re more obsessive with cleaning than I am,” to which Park Joon Hyung responded, “It’s one thing if I only nag and don’t clean, but I clean everything myself.” In response, comedian Jang Dong Min shared, “Even Park Joon Hyung is like this, aren’t you going to be like him too when you get married?”

    Brian argued, “I don’t need to worry about that. Marriage? It’s not for me.” Jang Dong Min replied, “People who always say they’re not getting married, come to me to say, ‘Oh I’m getting married next month.’”

    However, Brian refuted, “That might be plausible if I was in my 20s or 30s. But when you get to your 40s, ‘Marriage’ becomes something ‘unnecessary’.”

    The conversation continued at the filming studio where Jang Dong Min explained, “We went through that phase too. But we got married.”

    Park Joon Hyung added, “If you try to look for someone, you won’t find them. When you let it go, that’s when the right person comes to you. When you seek too much, you might end up with the wrong person because you’re in a hurry.”

    Brian agreed and shared, “I think what Park Joon Hyung said is true because when I get introduced to people because acquaintances think I would be a good match for them, I always start seeing the flaws first which makes me lose interest. So I felt it was a waste of time.”

    Park Joon Hyung empathized and added, “Effort shouldn’t be put into finding someone, but rather in getting to know each other. Setting aside all things, if you have a wife and child, that’s all that matters. Everything in life changes.”

  • BLACKPINK Lisa caught showing sweet photo of chaebol boyfriend Frédéric Arnault while filming Jennie at Coachella

    BLACKPINK’s Lisa has once again stirred up the internet — this time because of her phone lock screen!

    Recently, Lisa was spotted using a photo of her rumored boyfriend, Frédéric Arnault, as her lock screen.

    This sweet moment happened when she was trying to film Jennie’s first Coachella performance while attending with fellow member Rosé. Fans who were nearby accidentally caught a glimpse of her phone — and it didn’t take long for the photos and videos to go viral.

    Foreign media quickly picked up the news too, with outlets reporting that Lisa unintentionally showed her lock screen to people around her while recording Jennie at the Coachella music festival in California. Since Lisa is super popular worldwide, especially in the U.S., India, and Vietnam, the news spread even faster.

    Rosé and Lisa spotted watching Jennie's Coachella performance together

    Fans already suspected Lisa and Frédéric Arnault were close after noticing little matching items. Lisa and Rosé were seen using matching phone cases, and interestingly, Frédéric was also seen with a phone case showing the initials "LM" — which many fans believe stands for Lisa's real name, Lalisa Manobal. Meanwhile, Lisa’s phone case reportedly had the initials "FA," possibly hinting at Frédéric Arnault.

    Earlier this year, Lisa posted several casual photos on social media, including one showing two hands wearing matching luxury watches. Fans immediately guessed the man in the photo was Frédéric Arnault.

    Rumors about Lisa and Frédéric dating have been around since 2023. Not only were they spotted on trips together, but Lisa even spent time with his family, making fans wonder if marriage could be in their future!

    Adding even more fuel to the fire, Lisa met Frédéric’s parents during a Louis Vuitton event at Paris Fashion Week, where she warmly greeted Bernard Arnault, chairman of LVMH, and his wife Hélène Mercier Arnault.

    Although Lisa has never officially confirmed the relationship, many fans believe she hinted at it in her unreleased song Moonlit Floor, where she sings, "green eyed French boy got me trippin." Fans are convinced she was talking about Frédéric!

    In the past, Lisa shared her feelings about her private life, saying, "I want to live like ordinary people. Nobody likes it when others know everything about them."

    Now 28 years old, Lisa debuted with BLACKPINK in 2016 and launched her solo career in 2021 with her album Lalisa. Her single "Money" made history by becoming the first K-pop solo song to hit over 1 billion streams on Spotify!

    Lisa is also a global ambassador for luxury brands like Celine and Bulgari and has more than 100 million followers on Instagram.

    Frédéric Arnault, 30 years old, is the CEO of LVMH’s watch division, which includes luxury brands like Hublot, TAG Heuer, and Zenith.
