Who Is Frederic Arnault? Learn More About Lisa’s Rumored Billionaire Boyfriend: Age, Job & More!

Lisa may be in her lover girl era! The BLACKPINK singer has rumored to be dating French CEO Frédéric Arnault since 2023. So, who exactly is the man that has attracted one of the most popular singers in the world? We broke it down below:

In July 2023, multiple Korean media outlets such as JoongAng Ilbo, The Korean Times, Maeil Kyungjae, and Sports Kyung Hyang were first to report that the two were dating.

While neither have spoken publicly about the rumored romance, Lisa did make a coy comment about the rumors during a recent interview. In November 2024, she was asked by Billboard whether the “green-eyed French boy” she sings about in her song “Moonlit Floor” was indeed about Frédéric, which she responded with: “Well, I didn’t write that [song].”

Prior to her rumored relationship with Frédéric, the Thai artist has not been in any public relationships.

It is traditionally very hard for K-pop stars to date. After an idol is spotted in public with mystery someone, rumors swirl on social media and media outlets until the star must release a statement or face online backlash. On top of this, many K-pop groups have “dating bans” set by their music companies, BLACKPINK included!

In a 2016 interview, BLACKPINK member Jisoo explained how strict their music company YG Entertainment and its CEO Yang Hyun-Suk were about dating.

“The first time I met Yang-Hyun Suk, he asked me, ‘Do you happen to have a boyfriend right now?’ At the time, I was wearing a ring, and he even asked what that ring was,” she said. “I didn’t have a boyfriend, and It was just a ring.”

BLACKPINK confirmed that their company, YG Entertainment, had a “dating ban” while they were trainees in an interview on JYP’s Party People in 2017.

While that ban has seemingly lifted — as all four members of BLACKPINK have sparked plenty of dating rumors since their debut — Lisa likes to still keep it private with her rumored beau. So, who exactly is her elusive, billionaire boyfriend, and what does he do for a living?
