Blackpink’s LISA says the group has to ‘hide when we’re dating’ and recalls secret relationships
LISA explained why relationships can be difficult to navigate under the intense public attention surrounding the group
BLACKPINK’s LISA has opened up about the challenges of dating while being part of one of the world’s biggest girl groups, revealing that she and her bandmates have had to keep their relationships private.
During a recent conversation, LISA discussed the reality of dating as a member of BLACKPINK and explained why relationships can be difficult to navigate under the intense public attention surrounding the group.
“We have to hide when we’re dating,” LISA said, according to Billboard.
The singer also reflected on her own experiences with keeping relationships secret, suggesting that maintaining a private romantic life has been part of being a global K-pop star.
LISA, who performs alongside JISOO, JENNIE and ROSÉ, has spent much of her career under intense scrutiny from fans and the media. The quartet debuted in 2016 and have since become one of the most successful K-pop groups internationally.
The comments come as LISA continues to balance her work with BLACKPINK and her solo career. The group released its mini-album Deadline in February 2026, marking BLACKPINK’s first group project in four years.
While the four members have become increasingly open about their individual lives and careers, LISA’s comments highlight how difficult it can be for the group to maintain a normal dating life while living under constant public attention.
Her remarks also offer a glimpse into the pressures faced by K-pop stars, whose personal relationships can become the subject of intense fan and media interest.
For LISA, keeping romance away from the spotlight appears to have been an important way of protecting her private life while continuing to navigate BLACKPINK’s enormous global profile.
