Seoul, July 28, 2023. Manchester City were on preseason tour in South Korea when something happened that no one in the world of football or K-Pop expected: Erling Haaland, the most feared striker in the Premier League, was left speechless in front of BLACKPINK’s Jisoo. 🌸
And they didn’t just pose together with a blue City jersey — Jisoo asked him to call her ‘Nuna’ (older sister in Korean), and he did… completely red-faced. The moment was captured in a video for Coupang Play where she taught him phrases in Korean and he repeated them with the face of a diligent student. 😂⚽
The photo they posted on Instagram — both on the City’s official account and on Haaland’s personal account with the caption ‘Saat di Seoul’ — racked up 4 million likes, becoming one of the most-liked posts of his career. Two massive fanbases, a single frame. 🔥
