According to Newsen, photos released by South Korean media on Thursday show Lisa aboard a yacht in Nerano. She was pictured sitting next to Frédéric Arnault, son of LVMH chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault, who was seated opposite her himself.

This outing marks the first time Lisa has been seen with Bernard Arnault. There has been ongoing speculation about her close relationship with Frédéric, evidenced by his Instagram activities, as he started following her in 2022 and has liked numerous posts of hers.

The two have also been seen together multiple times, including a visit to the Rodin Museum in Paris in April and at a dinner event in May.

Lisa, 27, was born Pranpriya Manoban in Thailand. She became a member of Blackpink in 2016 and embarked on her solo music career in 2021 with her album "Lalisa." Her song "Money" catapulted her into fame as the first K-pop artist to surpass 1 billion streams on Spotify.

She has also gained significant recognition as a fashion icon, amassing over 104 million followers on Instagram.

Frédéric, 29, serves as the CEO of LVMH’s watch division, overseeing renowned brands such as Hublot, TAG Heuer, and Zenith.

Forbes reports that as of August 9, Bernard Arnault and his family are ranked the fourth richest in the world, with an estimated fortune of US$177.2 billion. The family’s wealth largely stems from their control of LVMH, which includes prestigious brands like Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Fendi, Loewe, Celine, and Bulgari.
