K-Pop Star’s Shocking Revelation about Michael Jordan Amasses 8.5 Million Views in Just 3 Days.

There are a few players that transcend sports. While Travis Kelce might be on top of that list right now, the one to start that trend was one basketball legend.Arguably the greatest player in the history of the sport, Michael Jordan was the first one to take the NBA global. But, his reach might be far greater than imaginable. Out of nowhere, a random reference to the Chicago Bulls legend found its way into the Korean music world.

During his solo media appearance, Choi Jongho of the Ateez group would make a startling revelation. According to the 23-year-old, it was Michael who was synonymous with his childhood and his memories of basketball.

“Do you know Michael Jordan? I used to love Michael Jordan as a kid. Basketball = Michael Jordan.” Jongho said during a promotional tour he was doing in Japan. The youngest from the group, Jongho was the only one to get a solo, a prodigy of sorts.

So, to find inspiration in a legend like Jordan isn’t exactly surprising. However, just don’t ask the international sensation to step onto the basketball court himself. The results won’t be pretty. However, the entire situation arose due to Ateez’s latest album release.
