Here’s Why Fans Speculate BLACKPINK Lisa’s Song Dream Is About THIS Ex K-Pop Idol
The idol was last active in 2018.
BLACKPINK’s Lisa finds her dating life in the spotlight once again, this time due to her upcoming short film for her song ‘Dream’. First released earlier this year, the song is gaining traction ahead of its release as a short film, featuring Lisa and Japanese actor Sakaguchi Kentaro. Fans are abuzz with speculation over the actual inspiration behind the song. Read on to know more!
Why Fans Think BLACKPINK Lisa’s Song Dream Is About One
While some people feel the emotional lyrics might be directed at BTS’s Jungkook, pointing back to old rumours and supposed matching items like rings between the two artists. Another name, however, has been brought up, which is One, also known as Jung Jaewon.
One first rose to fame as part of the hip-hop duo 1Punch in 2015. He later gained attention for starring on Show Me The Money 4 and returned for its fifth season, releasing the hit track ‘Comfortable’ with Simon D and Gray. In 2017, he made history as the first male solo artist to debut under YG Entertainment in nearly a decade. His fame even got him acting gigs and a role as a panellist on the reality dating show Heart Signal.
But then in 2019, One departed from YG, put out a solo album, and just sort of disappeared. He shut down his Instagram and hasn’t put up personal news since. In the same year, dating rumours suggested that he had a relationship with BLACKPINK’s Lisa, with fans citing potential ‘lovestagram’ (matching) posts.
The lyrics of “Dream” appear to be referencing his abrupt disappearance. References to ‘2019’ and the inability to ‘get through’ to someone have led fans to believe that BLACKPINK’s Lisa wrote ‘Dream’ about One. The theories have become stronger with visual hints from the music video, including Kentaro’s blond hair, a reference to One’s appearance in 2019, and the detail that One visited Tokyo before becoming inactive.
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
