The romantic saga began earlier in the year when Lisa and Frederic were first seen together in the romantic backdrop of Paris, France. Speculation reached its peak in August when the pair shared photos from similar locations and were photographed together on an airport sofa in Los Angeles.
Speculation was further fueled after BLACKPINK’s successful BORN PINK concert at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, as rumors circulated that Lisa and Frederic were seen together in a private airport lounge in Los Angeles, allegedly boarding a private jet. While the other BLACKPINK members headed to Las Vegas for the next concert, the joint travel of Lisa and Frederic led to fervent fan speculation about their relationship.
During Lisa’s vacation in Greece in August, the intrigue was further heightened. Frederic Arnault’s sister-in-law Geraldine Guyot also shared her Greek escapades with spouse Alexandre Arnault, leading to fan speculation of a potential double date scenario. Despite being unconfirmed, this further fueled excitement among the BLACKPINK fandom.
An online fan community post claimed Lisa was spotted having lunch with friends in Paris, potentially including Frederic Arnault. Despite the swirling rumors, both YG Entertainment and Frederic Arnault’s camp have chosen to remain silent, neither confirming nor denying the speculation.
Outside of the romantic drama, BLACKPINK is preparing for a groundbreaking venture into the virtual world. Collaborating with Meta and The Diamond Bros, the group is set to deliver a unique concert experience through VR Encore, a virtual reality event scheduled for December. As part of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s vision for an integrated virtual world, BLACKPINK’s foray into VR aligns with the evolving entertainment landscape.
The exclusive virtual concert, accessible to Meta Quest VR headset users, promises to transport fans to Music Valley in Meta Horizon Worlds on December 26 at 5 pm PT. This innovative approach to entertainment showcases BLACKPINK’s commitment to pushing boundaries and engaging with fans in new and exciting ways.
As fans eagerly await both virtual and real-world developments, the future of BLACKPINK as a four-member group remains uncertain. Ongoing discussions about contract renewals with YG Entertainment keep the global fandom on the edge of their seats, wondering what the future holds for the trailblazing K-pop group.
