Season 4 of Emily in Paris premiered on August 12, 2024, bringing new plot twists and excitement. However, there has been speculation about an unexpected connection between one of the main characters, Mindy, and the Thai rapper Lisa. Some fans have wondered if Mindy’s storyline is based on the latter’s dating life.
In Emily in Paris, Mindy, Emily’s best friend, is played by Ashley Park. Mindy is an Asian musician, who ends up dating the scion of the luxury industry conglomerate JVMA. The character also performs at the Crazy Horse in Paris in one of the show’s episodes.
Meanwhile, several BLACKPINK fans drew a link between Mindy and the K-pop group member. Allegedly, the ROCKSTAR rapper has been rumored of dating the scion of luxury goods conglomerate LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE—Frédéric Bernard Jean Étienne Arnault.
Fans speculated that the Netflix show might have taken a leaf out of the BLACKPINK member’s life, as JVMA sounds similar to LVMH, and the New Woman rapper has also performed at the Crazy Horse on September 27, 2023.
One fan wrote on X, “So Mindy of Emily in Paris is an Asian singer, dating the son of LVMH and she will perform at Crazy Horse… is her storyline based on Lisa?”
Others joined the online discussion and mentioned the similarities between Mindy’s life and the BLACKPINK rapper’s.
“Mindy & Nico’s relationship reminded me of Lisa & Frederick’s. Lisa is born to be entertainer #EmilyInParisS4,” one fan commented.
“This is getting even more interesting. In the Netflix show, Mindy (Lisa’s) first love interest was her bandmate. So basically she chooses between her bandmate and the billionaire heir. Did they really use L’s life as inspiration for the plot? This is getting beyond creepy,” another fan said.
“While I was watching Emily in Paris S4 last night, the part where Mindy was the headliner in Crazy Horse, Lisa immediately came to my mind And Mindy’s ex bf who are her bandmates was there to watch and to support her… is it just a coincidence?” another fan wrote.
Others were surprisingly pleased and believed the similarities were too much to be considered a mere coincidence.
“It’s like multiverses mirroring each other, but with minor plot twists in each dimension’s version of reality?! This is the stuff great sci-fi is made of, & it’s happening IRL for LVMH! How very conspiracy theory haha haha haha haha haha,” one fan commented.
“Who knows, maybe sponsor gave EIP idea that they wanted to play out IRL – Plot they’ve been cooking up for years about mogul+star mediaplay became script for show in a masterful smoke’n’mirrors ploy! Pure marketing genius! Lvmhate wins, Lisa wins. All good money for everyone,” another fan added.
“I feel like Mindy’s character in #EmilyinParis is based on #Lisa’s life, and the fact that she also performed in CH, makes me think that the writers are checking on Lisa,” one other fan said.
Notably, LVMH oversees over 75 luxury fashion and cosmetics brands. These include Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, Dior, Fendi, Givenchy, Guerlain, Kenzo, Marc Jacobs, Tiffany & Co, Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, Krug, Dom Pérignon, and more. Similarly, Mindy from Emily in Paris has been dating JVMA’s heir, Nicolas de Léon, who also acquired and oversees hundreds of luxury brands.
Lisa and Frédéric’s alleged relationship, explored
The Thai rapper is often spotted vacationing with LVHM’s heir, Frédéric Arnault, and his family in Hawaii. VNExpress also reported that the Arnault family allegedly visited Crazy Horse on the day the BLACKPINK member was set to perform.
Furthermore, the BLACKPINK rapper graced the Les Gala des Pièces Jaunes charity concert at Accor Arena, France, on January 26, 2024. VNExpress then reported that Frédéric Arnault was spotted in the audience, rooting for the rapper.
The LALISA rapper was also seen at the Grand Prix event in Monaco on May 28, 2024. Republic World reported that the K-pop superstar attended a yacht party, and was photographed with her alleged beau. The pair were also videographed grooving to J Balvin’s music at the same party, which was organized by Frédéric’s company, TAG Heuer.
In other news, the BLACKPINK rapper performed at the MTV VMAs on September 12, 2024, and became the first female K-pop soloist to win in the “Best K-pop” category.
