Blink and you’ll miss it.
But the worlds of tennis and K-pop collided on Instagram everywhere when Roger Federer posted a photo of himself in Paris with k-pop stars Blackpink.
“My kids said it was a certain IG post,” the 20-time Grand Slam winner explained, and it looks like they were right, as her likes are well over a million.
Consisting of four members, Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rose, Blackpink is one of the biggest groups in the world, with more YouTube subscribers than any other music artist and an army of fans known as “Blinks”. black’ and ‘pink’.
“blink????” Current world No.7 Coco Gauff commented on Federer’s photo, while Denis Shapovalov, who advanced to the third round of this year’s Australian Open, commented: “Hahaha yeah,” along with a sunglasses emoji.
Federer, who retired from tennis in September, posted the photo exactly five years after defeating Marin Cilic in the Australian Open men’s final – his 20th and final grand slam title.
Since retiring, Federer has been spending more time in the fashion world, posting pictures from Paris Fashion Week on Instagram on Tuesday.
In March, she will join Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour to co-chair the 2023 Met Gala with singer Dua Lipa and actors Penelope Cruz and Mikaela Coel.
