IS BLACKPINK’S LISA SECRETLY DATING THIS TOP THAI ACTOR?! The Proof Fans Missed!
Spotting the subtle clues, viral photos, and unexpected moments connecting Lisa and Blue Pongtiwat that have the entire internet spiraling!
In the K-pop industry and among K-pop fans, there have been whispers surrounding whether or not Lisa from BLACKPINK may be dating Thai actor Blue Pongtiwat. These rumors started after some eagle-eyed fans overanalysed every single photo of the two of them in public and focused on their chemistry.
Dating Publicly in K-Pop
Historically, dating publicly while being in the K-pop industry has been strictly enforced and looked down upon, often leading to contracts being cancelled and fan bases being reduced. This has mainly been as a way for agencies to preserve the relatable fantasy that many fans strive for. High-profile idols dating out in the open helps dismantle these outdated industry taboos, showing that stars can maintain thriving careers alongside normal personal lives.
Who Is Blue Pongtiwat?
Blue Pongtiwat Tangwancharoen, born in the year 2000, is a leading Thai actor, singer, and high-fashion model who gained widespread global recognition as the star of Netflix's hit romantic comedy Ready, Set, Love. Often dubbed "Thailand's Cha Eun-woo" by fans, this has already given him access to some of the industry's most elite and veteran artists. As a top-tier star who boasts millions of social media followers, his good looks and characteristics have opened up speculation as to whether he is dating fellow Thai star Lisa.
Her Own Label & Corporate Independence
By launching her own label, LLOUD, Lisa has effectively severed ties with controlling agency management, opening her up to more freedom. Being free from corporate boardrooms and restrictive contracts, she holds authority over her career, image, and romantic life, allowing her to make her own decisions, control her own accounts, and date openly if she chooses to do so.
Will This Open Up More Public Dating?
Many fans and industry insiders have asked the question as to whether or not Lisa is setting a new, previously pretty much unheard-of precedent, as she boldly shows younger and less experienced idols that maintaining a successful and demanding career does not always require the sacrifice of personal freedom.
As she enters her veteran years and as more veteran artists build independently owned agencies, it has started to create a domino effect where normalising open relationships slowly erodes the strict dating taboos of the wider K-pop industry.
Fan Reactions
Since the fan speculations and rumors spread online, social media has found itself in the middle of a massive K-pop debate. While many fans are supportive of the idea that Lisa is dating, other fans are concerned about her privacy rights, regardless of her relationship status. Since both stars are Thai, many fans are excited about a potential Thai power couple.
Final Thoughts
For the Dojeon Media team, no matter Lisa's relationship status, she has cemented her place in the K-pop industry as an independent female artist. She has made her own success and built her own independent label, and has therefore allowed herself to redefine what it means to be a modern female global icon. We wish Lisa all the best on her romantic journey and as an artist.
