Jay Park, Running Man’s Kim Jong-kook, Got7’s Yugyeom and other Korean celebrities spotted at Singapore’s UFC Fight Night, Entertainment News
It must have been a star-studded night at the UFC Fight Night at the Singapore Indoor Stadium last Saturday (26 August).
The audience not only watched all the action as South Korean mixed martial artist (MMA) Chan Sung-jung, aka “The Korean Zombie”, took on American Max Holloway, but also saw some South Korean celebrities seated in the arena.
In a TikTok video posted last Saturday, many of them could be seen getting off a tour bus in front of the venue.
Among them were Korean-American rappers Jay Park and PH-1, Yugyeom, the youngest member of boy band Got7, composer and producer Code Kunst, Kim Jong-kook, the strongman of Running Man, and TV host Jang Sung-kyu – who almost stumbled on the small slope. among others.
Yugyeom and pH-1 even stopped to sign autographs for their fans.
@jol.zzz Literally so many Korean celebs came to watch the UFC. I’m shocked – PH1, JAYPARK, KIM JONG KOOK, YUGYEOM, CODE ART AND MANY MORE OMG #UFC ♬ All I Wanna Do – Jay Park
The video has nearly 1 million views at the time of writing.
Netizens were quite surprised as it’s rare to see all of these celebrities congregate at once – let alone arrive at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on the same bus.
However, other netizens also noted that Chan is signed to entertainment label AOMG, which was founded by Jay Park and manages some of these celebrities, so it may have felt like a “company outing” for them.
Apart from that, actor Ha Seok-jin also posted on his Instagram page that he came to Singapore for a “one night trip” and tagged the sporting event.
Chan was eventually knocked unconscious by Holloway and subsequently announced his retirement from professional MMA.
In other footage that surfaced on TikTok, Chan, with bruises on his face after the loss, was comforted by his friends and labelmates, with Yugyeom stepping forward to hug him and others shaking his hand.
