BLACKPINK’s Lisa and Japanese actor Kentaro Sakaguchi put an end to non-sensical relationship rumours, their connection being professional rather than romantic. The pair announced that they will be releasing a short film entitled ‘Dream’ which features Lisa’s song from her ‘Alter Ego’ album. On August 11, 2025, Lisa posted a pretty alluring first-look poster on her Instagram which made fans very excited. The film is set to be released on August 13, 11 pm EST, and promises to be an emotional tale.
Sparked Speculation from Social Media Clues
The gossip began with the same screenshots from the Instagram Story of both Lisa and Sakaguchi-they both used Lisa’s “Dream” as background music. Fans dubbed it a “lovestagram,” and after Sakaguchi was seen at BLACKPINK’s “Deadline” concert in Goyang, South Korea with different members of Lisa’s family in the VIP area, they began to suspect romance.
There was even a picture of Lisa biting some man’s arm-they later confirmed that it’s Sakaguchi, that got tongues wagging. Lisa later gave the announcement that whatever chemistry they had was just for the screen and off it.
A Cinematic Project of Lisa’s Aspirations
Following her debut performance in The White Lotus Season 3, Lisa continues to stretch the creativeness of her muscles with Dream. Written and directed by OJun Kwon, the short film delves into the powerful love story and emotional breakup, as noted in the trailer.
Sakaguchi, known for his Japanese dramas such as What Comes After Love, boasts all this acting prowess and intends to spread his power beyond the great nation of Japan. Fans were ecstatic, with endless reactions such as “Screaminggggggg” and “I can’t wait anymore. I’m already crying and it’s just the trailer” taking the social media buzz.
Lisa’s Multifaceted Career Shines Amid Tour and Rumors
Of course, Lisa’s central focus is on Dream, but other than this, Lisa is busy concerning BLACKPINK’s Deadline World Tour that comprises 16 cities and 31 shows. The rumoured relationship with Frédéric Arnault, CEO of Tag Heuer, continues with sighting individuals at The White Lotus premiere.
This project does not only put to rest the rumours with Sakaguchi but is also indicative of Lisa’s increasing versatility as a K-Pop icon, an actor, and now a film collaborator, leaving eager anticipation in the minds of fans towards the premiere.
