Jung Ho Yeon Becomes First Korean Actress To Participate In Official Event At FIFA World Cup Final

Top model-turned-actress Jung Ho Yeon made a surprise appearance on the stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup final!

At the World Cup final on July 19 (local time), before kickoff, Jung Ho Yeon entered the field for the Trophy Trunk ceremony alongside world-renowned Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz, signaling the start of the final match by presenting the Louis Vuitton trophy case containing the World Cup winner’s trophy.

Jung Ho Yeon participated in the event in her capacity as a global ambassador for Louis Vuitton. This marks the first time a Korean actor has participated in an official event at a World Cup final. While it had been announced early on that the global K-pop group BTS would perform during the halftime show, Jung Ho Yeon’s attendance had not been foreshadowed, drawing attention.

RIIZE’s Shotaro To Participate In Limited Capacity In Upcoming Activities Due To Injury

SM Entertainment has released a statement regarding RIIZE’s Shotaro’s injury.

On May 7, SM Entertainment shared that Shotaro will be attending but limiting participation in upcoming events following an ankle injury and released the following statement:

Hello, this is SM Entertainment.

We would like to inform you regarding RIIZE member Shotaro’s injury and his upcoming scheduled activities.

Shotaro recently injured his ankle during a performance at an overseas event. Following a detailed medical examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with a torn ankle ligament. He is currently recovering while wearing a semi-cast and receiving regular outpatient treatment.

As a result, it has been decided that Shotaro will participate in the scheduled events (the May 8 Incheon National University festival, the May 10 Japan Kstyle Party, and the May 14 Sogang University and Soongsil University festivals), but he will not perform choreography on stage.

This decision was made after discussions with Shotaro and in accordance with medical advice stating that while daily activities are possible, he should refrain from intense dancing and prioritize rest and recovery. We kindly ask for fans’ generous understanding, and we will do our utmost to support the artist’s speedy recovery.

Thank you.

Wishing Shotaro a speedy and full recovery!
