WATCH: LPGA Hall of Famer Lydia Ko meets Korean movie superstar with 12m Instagram followers

The LPGA Hall of Famer Lydia Ko is currently competing in the 2025 HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore. During the tournament, she met the K-drama star Song Joong Ki and interacted with him for a while at the Sentosa Golf Club.

The HSBC Women's World Championship shared the video of this moment on X and wrote:

"The R&A Global Golf Development Ambassador Song Joong Ki meets Lydia Ko, the 2024 AIG Women's Open Champion! And when the pro meets pro... they swap tips."

They asked each other a question, with Lydia Ko asking him about how he memories scripts.

"Just practice, again, again, again, just keep repeating. So that's my own way how to memorize the script line," answered Joong Ki.

Song then asked Lydia Ko if she had any of her special ways of focusing, to which she said focusing on things that she could control.

"I think the best way for me to focus is kind of focusing on the things that I can control. So, you know, just making sure that I'm doing the drills that I worked on with my coaches, and just focusing on how I want to strategize on the golf course. So I think those are kind of what I came to terms with, and I hopefully that kind of correlates to good results," Ko said.

Lydia Ko is currently competing in the 2025 HSBC Women's World Championship and is leading the event going into the final round. She has carded -10 for the event and has a one-shot lead over Charley Hull.
