On the 29th, member JENNIE of the girls group “BLACKPINK” shared a photo of the competition scene of Hwang Son-woo in her Instagram story, saying, “I am also supporting. Hwang Son-woo fighting!

In addition, the entrance photo of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic team, which Hwang Sung-woo embarked on as a standard-bearer, also spelled out "Republic of Korea players fighting!"

In response, Hwang Sun-woo tagged the photo and JENNIE's account on his Instagram story and expressed his joy, saying, "My hands are shaking."

In an interview with the media last November, Hwang Soon-woo said, "I like JENNIE of 'BLACKPINK' and YEJI of 'ITZY'." "Maybe," he answered with embarrassment, "Wow, I really wish it happened."

Hwang Sung-woo broke new Korean and Asian records at the first Olympics and emerged as the “future of Korean swimming”. On the same day, in the men's free-form 100m final of the Olympics, he finished to 5th place with a record of 47.82 seconds, which was the highest result for an Asian player in 69 years.

Hwang Sung-woo has only left the freestyle 50m race at this Olympics.
