BLACKPINK's Lisa's billionaire boyfriend, Frederic Arnault, CEO of Loro Piana, recently met with representatives of Korea's four major department stores. Coincidentally, BLACKPINK's world tour kicked off in Korea.
On July 7 and 8, Frederic Arnault met with Jung Joon-ho, CEO of Lotte Department Store, Kim Young-hoon, CEO of Hanwha Galleria, Park Joo-hyung, CEO of Shinsegae Department Store, and Jung Ji-young, CEO of Hyundai Department Store.
Visiting Lotte Department Store's Avenuel Jamsil & Main Branch, Shinsegae Department Store's Gangnam & Main Branch, Apgujeong Galleria Luxury Hall, and Hyundai Department Store's Apgujeong Main Branch, Frederic Arnault reportedly toured luxury brand stores under LVMH, including Loro Piana.
Previously, on July 5 and 6, BLACKPINK's new world tour 'DEADLINE' took place in Korea for the first time in about 1 year and 10 months, sparking speculation that Frederic Arnault's visit to Korea was timed to coincide with Lisa's tour schedule. However, there have been no sightings of Lisa and Frederic Arnault together.
Since July 2023, Lisa has been embroiled in several dating rumors with Frederic Arnault. Although neither has directly addressed the rumors, numerous sightings and photos have essentially confirmed their public relationship.
In April, during the Coachella Festival in the U.S., Frederic Arnault was spotted with a phone lock screen featuring Lisa, and in May, photos of Lisa and Frederic Arnault dating on the coast of Sicily, Italy, were released. Unlike Frederic Arnault, who wore sunglasses, Lisa confidently enjoyed the date without covering her face, drawing attention.
Notably, last year, Lisa was seen walking with Frederic Arnault's sister-in-law, French designer Geraldine Guyot, and greeting his parents on the beach in Miami, Florida, fueling marriage rumors.
Born in 1995, Frederic Arnault is the CEO of luxury watch brand TAG Heuer and the fourth son of Bernard Arnault, chairman of LVMH, which owns over 50 luxury brands. He also serves as CEO of the Italian luxury brand Loro Piana.
Born in 1997 and a Thai national, Lisa debuted with BLACKPINK in 2016. Successfully completing the Goyang concert, the starting point of their 16-city, 31-show world tour, BLACKPINK is set to head to Los Angeles on the 12th and 13th. They are also gearing up for the release of their new song 'JUMP' on the 11th.
