Manchester City forward Erling Haaland met with Blackpink’s Jisoo on last month’s preseason tour in Seoul.
The two are superstars in their own right — Haaland, the goal-scoring machine for Treble winner’s Manchester City, and Jisoo, the K-pop idol with 348 million views on her hit single “꽃(FLOWER).”
The 28-year-old is the wealthiest and most successful of the four-person girl group BLACKPINK.
Of course, Jisoo isn’t the first member of the influential K-pop group to strike a pose next to a football superstar. That honor belongs to Lisa, who shared a selfie with Brazilian sensation Neymar during Paris Fashion Week last January.
Is there a romance brewing between Haaland and Jisoo? 🌸
Jisoo’s interview with Haaland included the striker impersonating Jisoo’s viral FLOWER challenge. And the player nailed it the first time, making the South Korean beauty blush.
In return, Haaland gifted her a kit with her name on the back and No. 103, the singer’s birthday.
But don’t get your hopes up on potential romance between the global stars. Both are taken. Haaland dates Norwegian footballer Isabel Johansen while Jisoo sees Korean actor-model Ahn Bo Hyun.
