On August 2, 2023, Coupang Play dropped the exclusive interview of BLACKPINK's Jisoo and Erling Haaland, where the former was seen conducting the interview and teaching the footballer a couple of things, including how to spell Korean words, perform her Flower challenge, and more. In the interview, the soccer player also gave a Manchester jersey to the idol.
Previously, Manchester City and Coupang Play teased fans with a photo of the pair holding Manchester City's Jersey, hinting at a possible collaboration.
Now that the interview has been officially released, K-pop and soccer fans can't get enough of this random duo who have been paired for something unique.

After watching their playful interaction, fans found the interview both random and adorable, as they least expected such a unique collaboration.
"You are so cute": Fans can't get enough of BLACKPINK's Jisoo and Erling Haaland's latest interaction
As Jisoo asks the professional soccer player Erling Haaland to call her "Jisoo Noona," he gets shy and calls her Noona twice with a smile on his face. Jisoo also giggles and becomes shy herself.
