It has come to our attention that BTS leader RM (real name Kim Nam-joon) has a little cousin. Not just any cousin, but a butt-kicking MMA fighter named, Seo Jiyeon (서지연).

Now being a cousin of an international celebrity sometimes bring a lot of pressure. But she seems to be taking it all in stride as she’s set to carve out her own identity in the MMA scene. So in order to get to know more about this amazing lady, here are 6 fun facts about the fighter.

1. She Has The Same Name With Other Famous Koreans

If you try to Google up information on the 20-year-old, then you might not be able to find what you’re looking for. This is because the MMA fighter shares the same name with two other famous South Koreans. One being the actress Seo Jiyeon and the other being a fencer that also goes by Seo Jiyeon.

The 33-year-old actress is a famous TV personality in Thailand with her appearance in shows like “Bangkok Bachelor” and “The Price Is Right Thailand”. On the other hand, the other Seo Jiyeon is a 26-year-old fencer who represented South Korea in the 2016 summer Olympics and won the silver medal in 2017’s World Fencing Championships in sabre team event.

2. The Reason She Hides Her Relationship With BTS RM
