Japan's 14-year-old Olympic gold medalist for Skateboarding names BTS's V (Kim Taehyung) the celebrity she desires to meet

Even Olympic champions can't resist the charms of Kim Taehyung, aka V of BTS.

Recently, 31 Olympic medalists who excelled at the 2024 Paris Olympics appeared on the Japanese Nippon TV variety program "Cream Stew: The Legend." During the show, the host asked the medalists which celebrity they would most like to meet.

14-year-old Coco Yoshizawa, the youngest member of Japan's 2024 national team and the winner of the gold medal in women's street skateboarding, answered, "I want to meet TaeTae from BTS."

Although Coco Yoshizawa is a strong-willed athlete who won a gold medal, her shy and bright smile while talking about her favorite star was no different from that of any other teenage fan.

Born in 2009, Coco started skateboarding at the age of 7 under the influence of her brother and became the youngest Olympic gold medalist in women's skateboarding at 14.

Coco Yoshizawa is now the third athlete who competed in the recent 2024 Paris Olympics to express admiration for Taehyung.

Among South Korean Olympic athletes, badminton player Shin Yu-bin and judo athlete Huh Mimi have also expressed their admiration for Taehyung.

Taehyung, who has shown remarkable talent in golf, also maintains a special friendship with LPGA pro golfer Danielle Kang and has earned the admiration of Japan's famous golfer Sakura Koiwai.
