Dating rumors involving BLACKPINK’s Lisa and BTS’s Jungkook have resurfaced yet again, this time fueled by speculation that the two K-pop stars were wearing a matching Bulgari ring.
This alleged “couple item” has ignited passionate debate on social media, though many fans and netizens are expressing strong skepticism due to other widely reported relationships.
The Viral “Couple Item” Claim
The latest wave of rumors began after Jungkook was spotted wearing a ring during a recent Weverse livestream.
- The “Evidence”: Fans of the “Lizkook” ship were quick to point out that the ring worn by Jungkook appeared to be the same design as one previously worn by Lisa.
- Brand Identification: The rings are reportedly from the luxury brand Bulgari. Lisa has a long-standing, well-documented relationship with the brand, serving as a global ambassador for their jewelry and watches, particularly for the B.zero1 collection.
- Online Traction: A post featuring the alleged matching rings quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter), garnering over 1.2 million views and inspiring multiple fan videos using the rings as “evidence” of a secret romantic relationship between the two “golden maknaes.”

Fan Skepticism and Counter arguments
Despite the rings’ similarity, the majority of the reaction online has been one of ridicule and disbelief, with fans citing strong counterarguments:
- Lisa’s Reported Relationship: The most significant counterpoint is Lisa’s widely reported relationship with Frédéric Arnault, the heir to the LVMH luxury goods conglomerate. Although neither has officially confirmed the relationship, they have been repeatedly spotted together at public events, private dinners, and vacations, with reports even claiming Lisa met Arnault’s family. As one fan commented, “when will y’all accept that she is with frederic.”
- Commonality of High-End Jewelry: Given that both are global ambassadors and figures in the high-fashion world, the argument that they own the same ring from a major luxury brand like Bulgari is seen as a simple coincidence, not concrete evidence of dating.
- Other Dating Rumors: Fans also pointed to Jungkook’s own history of being linked to various women through unconfirmed rumors, including a recent, widely discussed rumor connecting him to an aespa member. This led one skeptical fan to say, “This post should be a lesson to those ‘matching stuff=Dating’ believers.”

In short, while the “couple ring” has resurfaced the popular “Lizkook” shipping theory, the public and fan communities are largely dismissing the speculation as circumstantial and unreliable, especially in light of Lisa’s publicly observed connection to Frédéric Arnault.
