Olympic Athlete And Certified ARMY Kim Yeon Koung Jams To BTS Before Semi-Final Match
Kim Yeon Koung is the captain of the South Korean Olympic volleyball team and a true fan of BTS!
In an interview with Volleyball World where she discussed her Olympic career and personal interests, Kim stated that her favorite idol group was BTS.
I’m quite old so I don’t have favorite celebrities, but I could say that I know some big celebrities in my country. But for my favorite Korean idol group, it would have to be BTS.
— Kim Yeon Koung
During warm-ups earlier this week, BTS’s “Permission to Dance” played throughout the arena and Kim was seen dancing along!

ARMYs welcome her with open arms, and some even expressed desires to see her with the members on Run BTS!
I hope @BTS_twt will invite Kim Yeon Koung (volleyball player) on RUN BTS too. I've seen her on a lot of korean variety show and she's really funny! I think they're gonna enjoy playing volleyball as well 😂
