Chloe Kim, one of the greatest athletes in the Beijing 2022 Olympics, was invited to the Met Gala this Monday, and right before her appearance on the red carpet, the snowboarder went viral on Twitter. She featured in an Instagram post by NCT’s Johnny, and K-pop and snowboarding fans alike lost their minds.

Fans’ reaction to Chloe Kim-Johnny Suh interaction

Chloe Kim and Johnny Suh were both seated at the same table during the Met Gala, and it seems the duo met for the first time right before the event. But this bizarre interaction out of the blue left the fans in quite a state of incredulity.

As soon as Johnny’s post went live, NCTzens immediately took to Twitter. Some fans were confused about which of the two was luckier to have met the other.

On the other hand, some had already switched allegiances.

 

And as it turns out, the only other time a woman has starred on Johnny’s Instagram, was his mother!

So, of course, it was time for Plan B.

Now, we know Johnny is famous for his YouTube series ‘Johnny’s Communication Center’. Is it too much to ask for an episode with two-time Olympic Champion Chloe Kim?

Of course, where there are fans, there are conspiracy theories.

Some of them even come true! For context, Johnny posted the picture before the Johfams (as Johnny’s fans are known) found out from official sources about his Met Gala appearance.
