Blackpink’s Lisa and billionaire Bernard Arnault’s heir reportedly visit Thai temple together

The X account "@fredericslisa" uploaded an image purportedly capturing the two at Bangkok’s Wat Arun Temple on Jan. 3. In the snapshot, the woman, presumed to be Lisa, dons a cap and red T-shirt, while the man, suspected to be Frédéric, sports a casual shirt. Notably, their attire matches what they were seen wearing at a shopping mall earlier that day.

Frédéric is reported to have traveled to Thailand to meet Lisa’s family and support her performance at a New Year’s celebration in the country. The duo’s relationship came to public attention when Frédéric started following Lisa on Instagram in 2022, leading to several sightings of them together at global hotspots like Hawaii, Paris, Monaco, Tokyo, and Florida.

Lisa, born Pranpriya Manoban and now 28, debuted with Blackpink in 2016 and kicked off her solo music career in 2021 with the album "Lalisa." Her single "Money" earned her the distinction of being the first K-pop artist to hit over 1 billion streams on Spotify.

A prominent fashion icon, she serves as a global ambassador for high-end brands including Celine and Bulgari, amassing over 105 million Instagram followers.

Frédéric, 29, holds the position of CEO for the watch division of LVMH, overseeing brands like Hublot, TAG Heuer, and Zenith.

According to Forbes, as of Jan. 8, Bernard Arnault and his family are ranked as the fifth richest globally, with a fortune estimated at US$171.3 billion—largely derived from their LVMH holdings, which feature luxury brands such as Christian Dior, Fendi, Loewe, Celine, and Bulgari.
