Lisa of BLACKPINK made headlines during her visit to Coachella 2024 in California, USA, accompanied by her manager Alice and close friend Sorn, a former member of CLC. However, a seemingly innocent Instagram post by Sorn stirred controversy when it unintentionally revealed an engraving on Lisa’s phone case bearing the initials “F.A,” believed to be linked to her rumored boyfriend, Frédéric Arnault.
The revelation sparked criticism from Lisa’s fans, who felt that Sorn’s post invaded Lisa’s privacy by hinting at her romantic relationship. Sorn promptly deleted the story in response to the backlash.

Interestingly, this is not the first time details from Lisa’s phone case have triggered speculation. At a previous charity event in France, a dancer accidentally exposed the engraving “L.M” on Lisa’s phone case, likely representing her birth name, Lalisa Manobal. Similarly, Frédéric Arnault has also been linked to the speculation after sharing a phone case with the initials “L.M”.
Despite the online buzz surrounding her personal life, Lisa appeared to thoroughly enjoy her time at Coachella. Fan-recorded videos captured her enthusiasm while watching Ice Spice’s performance, and she graciously engaged with excited fans, flashing her signature smile and waving warmly to those who recognized her.
