• BLACKPINK Lisa caught showing sweet photo of chaebol boyfriend Frédéric Arnault while filming Jennie at Coachella

    BLACKPINK’s Lisa has once again stirred up the internet — this time because of her phone lock screen!

    Recently, Lisa was spotted using a photo of her rumored boyfriend, Frédéric Arnault, as her lock screen.

    This sweet moment happened when she was trying to film Jennie’s first Coachella performance while attending with fellow member Rosé. Fans who were nearby accidentally caught a glimpse of her phone — and it didn’t take long for the photos and videos to go viral.

    Foreign media quickly picked up the news too, with outlets reporting that Lisa unintentionally showed her lock screen to people around her while recording Jennie at the Coachella music festival in California. Since Lisa is super popular worldwide, especially in the U.S., India, and Vietnam, the news spread even faster.

    Fans already suspected Lisa and Frédéric Arnault were close after noticing little matching items. Lisa and Rosé were seen using matching phone cases, and interestingly, Frédéric was also seen with a phone case showing the initials "LM" — which many fans believe stands for Lisa's real name, Lalisa Manobal. Meanwhile, Lisa’s phone case reportedly had the initials "FA," possibly hinting at Frédéric Arnault.

    Earlier this year, Lisa posted several casual photos on social media, including one showing two hands wearing matching luxury watches. Fans immediately guessed the man in the photo was Frédéric Arnault.

    Rumors about Lisa and Frédéric dating have been around since 2023. Not only were they spotted on trips together, but Lisa even spent time with his family, making fans wonder if marriage could be in their future!

    Adding even more fuel to the fire, Lisa met Frédéric’s parents during a Louis Vuitton event at Paris Fashion Week, where she warmly greeted Bernard Arnault, chairman of LVMH, and his wife Hélène Mercier Arnault.

    Although Lisa has never officially confirmed the relationship, many fans believe she hinted at it in her unreleased song Moonlit Floor, where she sings, "green eyed French boy got me trippin." Fans are convinced she was talking about Frédéric!

    In the past, Lisa shared her feelings about her private life, saying, "I want to live like ordinary people. Nobody likes it when others know everything about them."

    Now 28 years old, Lisa debuted with BLACKPINK in 2016 and launched her solo career in 2021 with her album Lalisa. Her single "Money" made history by becoming the first K-pop solo song to hit over 1 billion streams on Spotify!

    Lisa is also a global ambassador for luxury brands like Celine and Bulgari and has more than 100 million followers on Instagram.

    Frédéric Arnault, 30 years old, is the CEO of LVMH’s watch division, which includes luxury brands like Hublot, TAG Heuer, and Zenith.

  • 'Weak Hero 2' takes over Netflix and sends webtoon sales skyrocketing 20 times

    The hit drama Weak Hero 2 is taking over both streaming charts and fans’ hearts—and now it’s bringing massive attention back to the original Naver webtoon Weak Hero.

    According to Netflix's Tudum Top 10 update on April 30, Weak Hero 2 pulled in a huge 6.1 million views (based on total watch time divided by full runtime) just three days after its release. It grabbed the #1 spot on the Global TOP 10 Non-English TV Series chart.

    That’s not all—right after it dropped, the drama soared to the top of Korea’s TOP 10 Series and even made the TOP 10 charts in 63 countries, including Brazil, France, Mexico, Belgium, Morocco, Greece, Indonesia, and more.

    This follows the success of Weak Hero 1, which previously ranked #8 and stayed on the global chart for five weeks straight.

    With all eyes on the new season, fans are now rushing to read the original webtoon, leading to a massive jump in popularity.

    The webtoon, which first started in May 2018 and wrapped up in November 2023, is famous for its intense storytelling and emotional depth.

    It tells the story of Yeon Si Eun, a quiet and seemingly weak student who turns into a top fighter at a violent school—giving fans a unique and gripping coming-of-age story.

    After Weak Hero Class 2 aired, many viewers started reading or re-reading the webtoon from beginning to end. As a result, sales of the webtoon have shot up more than 20 times compared to its average monthly sales after completion.

    The series has also been turned into printed books, a mobile game, and even emojis, and has been exported to 9 countries, including North America.

    When the first season of the drama premiered on Wavve in 2022, it held 45% of the platform’s total viewing share, proving its wide appeal.

    Fans are now hoping for a new sequel season of the webtoon, and the franchise is being praised as a perfect example of how a strong original story can keep growing through great adaptations.
