South Koreans seem to love BTS just as much as they love golf. The seven-member group has fans all across the world, including many celebrities. The list also seems to involve LPGA star Inbee Park, who also attended their recent concert in Las Vegas.

However, Park’s love for BTS seems to go way back.

Not only did the South Korean golfer have an amazing time at Allegiant Stadium, but previous tweets also indicate her being a fan for some time. With Park in the USA for other events, her presence at the concert was a pleasant surprise. In fact, she herself shared a clip on Instagram, clearly delighted to see the idol group perform.

Does Inbee Park have a favorite BTS member?

An old clip of Park’s features her playing golf, while the highlight is the BT21 Chimmy doll she is carrying along. Chimmy is the BT21 character created by Park Jimin and is a yellow, adorable, and playful puppy. With BT21 popular on its own and also amongst fans, one could not confirm if Inbee Park was also a fan.

In fact, her carrying Jimin could indicate that the third-youngest member is her favorite. The clip Park shared also focuses on Jimin in the first frame, while also showing Jeon Jungkook and Kim Seok-jin for some time.

Additionally, fans seemed to be delighted at Park attending the concert. Support from others is always welcomed by ARMYs, especially if they are here to attend BTS’ concerts.

Danielle Kang spent time with V

Apart from Inbee Park, Danielle Kang was in the spotlight for playing golf with Kim Taehyung (or V). The 29-year-old shared the clip herself, while also conversing with Taehyung on her account. Furthermore, Kang and her brother Alex also seemed to attend BTS concerts in Las Vegas like Park.

With Taehyung often sharing his golf swing with fans, most were extremely happy with professional golfers meeting and enjoying BTS’ music. As time passes, one can probably expect more golfers to actually meet and spend time with BTS.

That being said, Park is currently in the US for the LA Open. She last played in the Lotte Championship, where she missed the cut.

BTS, on their end, are back in South Korea and are gearing up for their comeback scheduled for June 10.
