MMA Fighter Choo Sung-hoon Joins BTS for World Tour Kickoff Concert

MMA fighter and TV personality Choo Sung-hoon recently met with members of BTS.

On the 10th, Choo shared on his Instagram, "I was invited by Jungkook to attend the first day of the BTS World Tour!" along with several photos.

In the released photos, Choo is seen posing warmly with BTS members, except for Jin and Suga, in the waiting room. Notably, Choo had previously collaborated with Jungkook and Jimin on his YouTube channel, where they enjoyed a sauna together, making this reunion particularly eye-catching.

Earlier, on the 2nd, Choo's YouTube channel featured a video titled 'The Day BTS Jungkook and Jimin Swam in Choo Sung-hoon's Ear.' Choo appeared notably nervous in the video. When the production team asked, "Are you very nervous right now?" he shyly avoided the question.

Choo already had a friendship with Jungkook, but it was his first meeting with Jimin. Although the atmosphere was initially awkward, the trio bonded over roasted sweet potatoes, sikhye, beer, and pork belly.

Meanwhile, BTS released their new album 'Arirang' on the 20th of last month. The album captures the group's identity, longing, and deep love. It includes 14 tracks, with the title track 'SWIM' symbolizing BTS's determination to keep swimming through life's waves.

The group kicked off their world tour with a concert at Goyang Sports Complex on the 9th.
