News that Lamine Yamal‘s father was born in 1992 the same birth year as BTS member Jin has gone viral across social media, leaving many netizens surprised.
Born in 2007, Lamine Yamal is a Spanish footballer who plays as a winger for Barcelona and the Spain national team.
Widely regarded as one of the brightest young talents in world football, Yamal has achieved remarkable success despite his young age.
Following Spain’s victory at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the 19-year-old football sensation has remained at the center of global media attention.
Alongside Yamal’s outstanding performances throughout the tournament, BTS also generated enormous buzz after delivering the halftime show during the World Cup final.
According to Pop Core, BTS became the most-discussed topic on X (formerly Twitter) on the day of the final, generating around 3 million mentions and surpassing many of the players and other major events related to the match.
On the morning of July 21, social media users began widely sharing the fact that Yamal’s father, Mounir Nasraoui, was born in 1992 the same year as BTS’ Jin. Meanwhile, Yamal’s mother, Sheila Ebana, is reportedly around 35 years old. She gave birth to Yamal when she was just 16, with the football star born in 2007.
As the news spread, the phrase “What year was Lamine Yamal’s father born?” quickly became a trending search topic across social media platforms and search engines.
Football fans around the world were fascinated by the age gap between Lamine Yamal, born in 2007, and his father, who was born in 1992 meaning Nasraoui became a father at approximately 15 or 16 years old.
Another detail that caught fans’ attention was that Yamal’s father is actually younger than Spain veteran Jesús Navas.
Following their divorce, both of Yamal’s parents have since started new families. However, the Barcelona star continues to receive love and support from both his mother and father.
The fact that Jin and Yamal’s father share the same birth year has sparked countless comparisons online.
One is a globally recognized K-pop star who continues to reach new milestones with BTS, while the other is already the father of one of football’s brightest young superstars.
Yamal’s father is also the person who famously shared the viral photo of Lionel Messi bathing baby Lamine when he was an infant. The image first captivated the internet during UEFA Euro 2024 and resurfaced ahead of the 2026 World Cup final, when Messi and Yamal faced each other on football’s biggest stage.
