Rivals To Besties: Netizens Love Soccer Stars Lee Kang In And Neymar’s Bromance
Netizens can’t get enough of soccer stars Lee Kang In and Neymar‘s newfound bromance.
Last year, the then Mallorca and Korean National Team soccer player Lee Kang In went viral for his interaction with Brazilian soccer player Neymar (also known as Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior and Neymar Júnior) after Korea’s defeat to Brazil. On December 6, Korea’s journey in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, unfortunately, came to an end when Brazil defeated them 4-1.
In one now-viral video clip, Korea’s National Team maknae Lee Kang In was captured talking to Neymar in the tunnel. As they exchanged jerseys, Lee Kang In thanked Neymar with a wink.
After, Lee Kang In revealed in an interview that he suggested the uniform exchange. He joked that Neymar didn’t even know he was. Whether that was true or not, Neymar surely knows who he is now.

On July 8, Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain Football Club (commonly referred to as Paris Saint-Germain, Paris, Paris SG, or simply PSG) announced the signing of Lee Kang In for a 5-year contract. He has made history as the first-ever South Korean to play for the club.
So, now he and Neymar are teammates at Paris Saint-Germain! And they have appeared to become fast friends, with clips of their interactions going viral yet again.
