According to a Chosun Daily report, Frédéric Arnault, CEO of Italian luxury brand Loro Piana and the rumored boyfriend of BLACKPINK’s Lisa, recently visited South Korea and met with executives from the country’s four major department store chains. Born in 1995, Arnault is the fourth son of Bernard Arnault, chairman of LVMH, the world’s largest luxury conglomerate.

According to industry sources, on July 8, Frédéric Arnault held meetings over two days with top executives: Jung Joon Ho of Lotte Department Store, Kim Young Hoon of Hanwha Galleria, Park Joo Hyung of Shinsegae, and Jung Ji Young of Hyundai Department Store.

He reportedly visited several high-end department store branches in Seoul, including Lotte Avenuel (Jamsil and Main branches), Shinsegae Gangnam and Main stores, Galleria Luxury Hall in Apgujeong, and Hyundai Department Store’s Apgujeong main branch, personally inspecting Loro Piana shops along the way.

Speculation has arisen that his trip may have also been linked to BLACKPINK’s concert in Korea, which took place on July 5–6 at Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi Province, as Lisa, his rumored girlfriend, performed during the event.
