Despite the renewed speculation, neither Lisa nor Frédéric Arnault has commented on the rumors surrounding their relationship status.
The rumors surrounding BLACKPINK member Lisa and Frédéric Arnault's relationship have resurfaced after a recent feature by Vanity Fair prompted fresh discussion among fans and online communities.
The publication noted that Arnault, the son of LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault, was absent from Lisa's birthday celebrations earlier this year. The observation reignited speculation that the pair, who have been linked romantically for nearly two years, may have quietly ended their rumored relationship.
While neither Lisa nor Arnault has publicly addressed the speculation, many fans took the mention as a sign that the relationship may have come to an end.
Viral Post Sparks Debate OnlineA post on the Korean online community Pann discussing Arnault quickly gained traction. The original post praised his appearance, describing him as, "He has the kind of handsome, refined look you'd expect from a young gentleman born into a European royal or aristocratic family: elegant, polished, and unmistakably upper-class."
However, the responses from Korean netizens painted a different picture. Rather than echoing the admiration expressed in the original post, many commenters used the opportunity to share critical opinions about Arnault, with the discussion quickly shifting away from his appearance and toward his rumored relationship with Lisa.
One of the posts read, "Sure, he's an upper-class rich kid, but he's not the kind of gorgeous blond white guy people usually imagine. He just looks like your average French guy," while another user commented, "He's the least attractive out of all the brothers in that family. The oldest brother at least has a cool look to him, but this guy looks the most like a dork."
"If you took away the fact that he's the son of a billionaire family, I don't think he'd be all that attractive," a third netizen wrote. Meanwhile, a fourth user said, "Isn't he just a European nerd? Where exactly are people seeing this so-called elegance?"
No Official Comment From Either SideDespite the renewed speculation, neither Lisa nor Frédéric Arnault has commented on the rumors surrounding their relationship status.
The pair have never publicly confirmed they were dating, even as they were repeatedly spotted together at various events and locations over the past two years. As a result, reports of a breakup remain unconfirmed, with online discussions continuing to rely on speculation rather than official statements.
