Who are the K-pop idols roped in by NBA? BTS' Suga joins Golden State Warriors' Dub Nation

While fans thought Suga is going to Japan for an album or photoshoot, the BTS star channels his inner fanboy and is set to attend the NBA preseason

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: The opening of the NBA preseason is going to be pretty star-studded as we have BTS' Suga joining Dub Nation and cheering for the Golden State Warriors in Japan. ARMY were pretty shocked on September 27 when we first got long-haired Suga and the fact that he was flying solo to Japan. Many wondered if it was for his solo album or a photoshoot. The K-pop star then shared a photo of him holding a customised jersey of the basketball team Golden State Warriors which answered a lot of questions.

The NBA preseason opening match will take place between Golden State Warriors and the Washington Wizards in Japan. The first match will take place on September 30. It is a pretty important event for Dub Nation as this is the first time the Warriors will be playing overseas following their 2017 preseason game in China. With player Steph Curry sharing that he will see Suga soon and adding a plane emoji, fans think that the BTS member will be attending the Japan matches.
