A netizen who was previously convicted for posting a malicious comment about Han Ye Seul has now been ruled not guilty.

On March 29, legal sources revealed that the Seoul Central District Court’s Criminal Division 5-2 (Presiding Judge Kim Yong Joong) overturned the conviction of netizen A, who was on trial for allegedly insulting Han Ye Seul in an online comment.

Back in July 2021, A left a comment on an article discussing rumors about Han Ye Seul’s boyfriend, who was accused of having ties to an entertainment bar.

Han Ye Seul took legal action, accusing A of defamation. The comment reportedly read, “This is why punks and delinquents don’t work out. Act your age. What are you doing at 40?”

At first, A was fined 300,000 KRW through a summary indictment. However, A challenged the ruling, arguing that the comment was not directly aimed at Han Ye Seul and did not contain offensive language strong enough to damage her reputation.

In the first trial, the Seoul Central District Court’s Criminal Division 16 (Presiding Judge Lee Kyung Sun) upheld the 300,000 KRW fine. But things changed during the appeal.

The second trial ruled in A’s favor, stating that the comment did not go beyond general criticism and was not excessively malicious or directly slanderous toward Han Ye Seul. As a result, the court overturned the previous ruling and found A not guilty.

Since the prosecution did not appeal further, the verdict is now final.

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.
