Tennis Star Naomi Osaka Is A Successful Fan As She Meets BTS’s Suga

Olympic Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka proved to be a successful fan as she met BTS‘s Suga.

Naomi Osaka has kept it no secret that she’s a K-Pop fan. In a 2019 interview, she revealed her journey into the fandom.

I got into BIGBANG and 2NE1, especially CL. I don’t know the year, sort of like when ‘Crush’ and stuff came out. And then I just saw BTS doing a lot of related stuff, so I was like, ‘Who are these kids?’ Then I slowly started getting into them during the ‘I Need U’ era.

She especially is a member of the BTS ARMY!

Eagle-eyed fans noticed back in 2019 that she had liked several BTS tweets. Some speculated that RM might even be her bias…

In 2019, Osaka even tweeted her love for BTS’s track “Make It Right,” the first song they released co-written with Ed Sheeran. She said it was her favorite song from their album MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA.

You didn’t hear it from me but this is the best song off the album lol pic.twitter.com/ujRnlle1B5

She also confessed in 2020 that she used to have a stan account on Instagram! Based on the account’s name, she clearly likes J-Hope, so maybe she’s rap-line biased.

Fun fact: I once had a IG page called “free hobi’s forehead”. And that’s on bangtan sonyeondan ☺️💅

If that’s the case, Naomi Osaka is literally winning at life!

Currently, Suga is in Japan for the Golden States Warriors match against the Washington Wizards at the NBA Japan Games. Yesterday, he met the Warriors team.

Today, he attended the first game, sitting courtside. He’s not the only one sitting courtside, though. Osaka was as well.

Later, Osaka tweeted a photo from her meeting with Suga. She confirmed what she told him and explained why.

I don’t know why but that was the one thing I made up my mind to tell him if we ever bumped into each other 💀😂
