“Parasite” actor Cho Yeo-jeong revealed that she bonded with Leonardo DiCaprio over their love for K-pop mega group BTS during the 92nd Academy Awards in February 2020.
A huge fan: Cho, 40, recalled her time speaking with the “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” star at the awards show right before they went on during her appearance on an episode of “Saturday Night Live Korea,” according to News18.
“He caught me on a brief moment right before we went up to the stage to be awarded. He congratulated me on the win. I asked him if he knows BTS. He said he likes ‘Blood, Sweat, Tears,’” the actor shared in Korean.
Cho also said that DiCaprio, 46, asked for her phone number during their interaction and that he referred to her as Oscar winner Youn Yeo-jung, who won an Oscar for her role in “Minari.” She went on to correct him and also explained the origin of her name.
The ARMY reacts: Many fans took to Twitter to express their surprise at Cho’s recent revelation.
