She has been linked to other idol previously.

While her track “Dream” was released earlier this year on her album, BLACKPINK Lisa‘s upcoming short film for the song has brought it back into the spotlight.
Starring Lisa and Japanese actor Sakaguchi Kentato, “Dream” has already sparked speculation over who the track could be about. Some have connected Lisa to BTS’s Jungkook based on alleged couple items the pair shared in the past and other details.

Some have also connected another male idol to Lisa, even before the video for the track was announced.
In 2015, the hip-hop duo 1Punch debuted featuring Samuel Kim and 1 as a collaboration between D-Business Entertainment and Brave Entertainment.
1 (also known as One, Kim Jaewon) was scouted by YG Entertainment after he appeared on Show Me The Money 4, where he attracted significant attention. His subsequent appearance on the show’s fifth season lead to the release of “Comfortable” a collaboration track between him, Simon D, and Gray, which topped charts.
One made his official solo debut in 2017, the first male solo debut since Se7en almost a decade prior.
His popularity led to him making his acting debut and appearing as a panel for Heart Signal, though he would go on to leave YG in 2019, releasing a solo album under his own label in November of that year. Surprisingly, the idol disappeared after this, deactivating his Instagram and has not shared any updates himself since then.
In 2019, rumors of One and Lisa being in a relationship circulated, connected by alleged lovestagram posts.
Lyrics found in “Dream” also point to it being about One, specifically his disappearance/departure from YG in 2019 and Lisa not knowing where the subject is lately.
Whenever I close my eyes
It’s taking me back in time
Been drowning in dreams lately
Like it’s 2019, baby
Whenever I’m missing you
Call you up, but I can’t get through
Don’t know where you sleep lately
But I’ll see you in my dreams, maybe
We can catch up, drive down our old street
If all that we were is all that we’ll ever be
It’s bittersweet
At least a girl can dreamLisa’s “Dream” lyrics
Some have also pointed to Kentaro’s hair being blond in the music video, much like One’s was in 2019 and One spent time in Tokyo, Japan before his disappearance.
The way Lisa was asking Kentaro to dye her hair to match with Jung Jaewon blonde hair during 2019. Also Kentaro lowkey looks similar like jung jaewon. Oh Lisa i see the vision😭 https://t.co/dcBQM9NmpJ pic.twitter.com/OaLtoQLRnT
