Following the release of BLACKPINK Lisa ’s music video Dream, the idol has been swept up in dating rumors with her co-star, actor Sakaguchi Kentaro. The close interactions shown during filming sparked speculation online, with some accusing Lisa of fueling the rumors, leading to an increase in hate comments against her.
Now, TWICE’s Sana has unexpectedly been dragged into the discussion due to a resurfaced clip.
Earlier this year, Sana went viral for her friendly interaction with Kentaro and actress Kim Tae Ri at the PRADA afterparty during Milan Fashion Week. At the time, fans praised the trio’s visuals and natural chemistry. However, with Lisa and Kentaro’s names now trending together, the clip has been reinterpreted.
A viral post on X, which has surpassed 9 million views, stated:
“Kentaro Sakaguchi and Lisa are trending right now, but personally, I find the two-shot with Sana way too real — it totally gives off the vibe that they’re about to start dating (lol)(lol).”
While some users agreed, suggesting that Sana and Kentaro looked more “genuine,” others used the post to disparage Lisa, drawing comparisons between the two idols’ popularity. Defenders of Lisa pushed back, highlighting possible racial bias behind the wave of negativity directed at her.
The viral debate has now created unnecessary tension between fandoms, with Sana caught in the crossfire despite having no connection to Lisa and Kentaro’s dating rumors. Many fans have since called for a stop to dragging unrelated idols into speculative discussions, urging respect for all the artists involved.
