Erling Haaland is one of the most noticed players at the 2026 World Cup. Although Norway was eliminated by the England team in the quarterfinals, the name Erling Haaland continues to dominate the media and social networks.
Videos recording many humorous and interesting moments of this 25-year-old football star are spreading rampant on online communities and short video platforms.
In particular, a video of the 2023 interview between Jisoo (Blackpink) and Erling Haaland is being shared again by Kpop fans.
In July 2023, Haaland and his teammates at Manchester City first came to South Korea on an Asian tour, before the 2023-2024 club-level football season.
On this occasion, the Manchester City striker had a conversation with female singer Jisoo (Blackpink).
In the program, Jisoo had an interesting Korean teaching session for Haaland. Blackpink's eldest sister explained that in Korea there is a saying that many fans of Haaland and Manchester City often use to praise the male player, which is "Haaland is in top form beyond words".
Jisoo emphasized that this is a way of speaking in Korean when wanting to praise someone as extremely cool or excellent.
Hearing that, the Manchester City star immediately showed his Korean speaking ability when he clearly read the sentence again: "Haaland is in top form beyond the goal", making Jisoo surprised and praising his intonation as perfect.
Seizing the opportunity, Jisoo continued to teach Haaland to say "Jisoo sister" (Jisoo noona) in Korean. Faced with this request, Haaland smiled shyly. Jisoo was born in 1995, 5 years older than Haaland.
But then, the Norwegian striker still pronounced clearly: "Hi, Ms. Jisoo". The female singer also humorously replied: "Now we have become sisters".
Not only learning Korean, Haaland also participated in the flower dance challenge in Jisoo's MV song "Flower".
Confidently saying "I think I can do it", the Norwegian striker completed quite completely the flower shaping movement with both hands in the choreography of the song, making everyone admire.
After that conversation, Haaland posted on Instagram a photo taken with Jisoo while both holding Manchester City jerseys.
The post attracted the attention of football fans and Kpop fans around the world, receiving more than 5 million likes and more than 40,000 comments, showing the global influence of both Jisoo and Haaland.
Recently, another Kpop star, Jimin (BTS), also had a notable moment when imitating Erling Haaland's signature gait at a concert in Munich (Germany).
Many viewers also compared the appearances of Jimin, Haaland and "God of Thunder" Chris Hemsworth when all 3 had long blonde hair.
Besides, Haaland's interaction with "Spider-Man" Tom Holland is also causing a stir on social networks.
