Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi, 34, has recently become the focus of intense rumours about whether he is dating Lisa from Blackpink.
The buzz began after fans noticed both stars using Lisa’s new single “Dream” as background music to a similar scenic photo on their Instagram stories. Sakaguchi was also present at Blackpink’s “Deadline” concert in South Korea alongside Lisa’s family members. The rumours were fuelled further when a photo of Lisa playfully biting a man’s arm emerged, with the mystery guy later confirmed to be Sakaguchi.
However, any involvement in recent weeks now in fact appears to have been related to a short film for “Dream” that the pair made together. Some have accepted the film as Sakaguchi and Lisa’s reason for spending so much time with the actor, others still aren’t convinced. The White Lotus actress, 28, was previously linked to LVMH heir Frédéric Arnault.
Here is everything you need to know about Lisa’s rumoured beau, who has more than two million followers on Instagram.
