Brazilian soccer ace Neymar fell in love with BLACKPINK’s latest single “Pink Venom” 

Even Neymar is a fan of BLACKPINK’s “Pink Venom”. 

On August 20th, Brazilian national soccer team and Paris Saint-Germain’s ace, Neymar shared BLACKPINK’s “Pink Venom” MV on his Twitter and said, “I like this song“. 

“Pink Venom” is BLACKPINK’s opening single released on August 19th ahead of the group’s 2nd full album “BORN PINK” to come out on September 16th. 

Less than a day after “Pink Venom” was dropped, Neymar showed his interest in K-pop in general and BLACKPINK in particular by linking to the MV. This also shows BLACKPINK’s huge popularity in Brazil.

Neymar has a good image in Korea. Earlier this year, he visited Korea for a warm-up match and showed good fan service. In particular, the Brazilian soccer star became a hot topic in Korea as he had fun like a child at an amusement park.  

In the match with Korea, even though he was injured before the match, Neymar played for a long time and did not disappoint Korean fans. This was a great help in raising Neymar’s image in Korea compared to Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United), who sat out of a friendly match with the K-League All-Star team in 2019.
