A now-deleted photo of BLACKPINK‘s Lisa with the dancers who joined her for her 2024 Gala Des Pièces Jaunes performance at Accor Arena in France has recently gone viral.
The photo was uploaded by a YGX dancer and choreographer, who posted an uncropped version of a picture later posted by Lisa on her personal Instagram account.
In the uncropped photos, the case on the phone BLACKPINK’s Lisa is holding appears to show the initials “F.A.,” leading some netizens to speculate that it stands for LVMH Watches CEO Frédéric Arnault, who is rumored to be dating Lisa.
The phone case was made by luxury leather accessories shop MAISON de SABRÉ, which is a brand that the BLACKPINK members have been spotted using on multiple occasions.
In August 2023, Frédéric Arnault posted a photo to his Instagram story using a MAISON de SABRÉ phone case with an emoji placed over the space that would be personalized.
When netizens began questioning the brand about the case, they playfully confirmed it was from their brand while “revealing” the “full case” by showing a matching product on their TikTok account.
Some netizens have pointed out that the phone case in the recent now-deleted photo of Lisa may not be hers, and others have noted that the photo isn’t clear enough to determine if the initials are actually “F.A.”
Others sought to confirm the initials with the luxury leather accessories brand and reached out to them with questions about the case.
The brand has been vocal about the BLACKPINK members using their products, and they were quick to join the conversation as netizens debated the specifics of the case on the phone Lisa was holding.
The brand’s official TikTok responded to a netizen who asked what the initials are on the phone case. MAISON de SABRÉ confirmed it was their product, but replied, “We don’t know, she purchased this case personally.”
