In the first video, she was asked how she was doing, while in the second, her brother took it up a notch. “This is what happens when you miss the cut,” said he. “You merch-shop… at your own event.” The 2017 Solheim Cup contender smiled, pretended to scratch her face, then slowly raised her finger up for him.

In the third story, Alex and Danielle Kang, whose parents are from South Korea, are seen enjoying a meal with ‘Boys Over Flowers’ fame Lee Min Jung and ‘Masquerade’ actor Lee Byung Hun. The Pro golfer’s brother asked again how she was doing before moving on to comments from their friends.

He captioned the last one: “Should @daniellekang swim out and back.” And proceeded toward the funniest interaction yet. “Hey, since you can’t make money on the golf course,” he started, making her chuckle. “I’ll give you a $1000 to swim out there 100 yards and back.” He zoomed in to show his fans and hers the exquisite ocean view beyond and continued, “Cause uh, you gotta cover your bills, you know, you got a nice house. Here’s 1000,” he said, handing her a few bills.

“Should I do it?” she leaned into him pulling her leg. “I think I can do it,” she claimed. He said he’ll do a poll, and he kept his word.

No matter what he said, Alex Kang cheered his sister up by the end of his story sequence.
