K-pop star’s confession to Michael Jordan has been viewed 8.5 million times in three days

There are some players who transcend sports. While Travis Kelce may be at the top of the list now, the man who started this trend was a basketball legend. Arguably the greatest player in the history of the game, Michael Jordan was the first to grace the NBA’s global stage. But his influence may be far greater than imagined. Suddenly, casual references to the Chicago Bulls legend entered the Korean music scene.

Ateez’s Choi Jong Ho revealed surprising information during a separate media appearance. The 23-year-old said Michael is synonymous with his childhood and basketball memories.

“Do you know Michael Jordan? I loved Michael Jordan when I was a kid. Basketball = Michael Jordan. ” Jongho said during a promotional tour in Japan. As the youngest member of the band, Jongho was the only one to get a solo, making him something of a prodigy.

So it’s no surprise to look to legends like Jordan for inspiration. However, don’t let the international superstar take to the basketball court himself. The results won’t be pretty. However, the whole situation came about due to the release of Ateez’s latest album.

This is a development story.
