One sport that people love at the Olympics is archery. The way the archers aim with full concentration and shoot the arrow aiming for the bull's eye is what gets all excited.
With the Tokyo 2020 Olympics on, the event saw many archers, especially South Korean's take the podium on numerous occasions.
However, amid this, a South Korean girl group TWICE's Tzuyu caught the attention of non-K-Pop fans. Apparently, old photos of Tzuyu from the Idol Star Athletics Championships (ISAC) started doing the rounds on social media.
From July 26, Tzuyu started to become viral again especially on Brazilian Twitter after someone joked that the Taiwanese singer was actually participating in the Olympics.
Brazilian Journalist “Giu Bressani” tweeted that her friend sent her #Tzuyu viral tweet and her friend thought Tzuyu is real archery athlete so she has clarified to her and tell her that she is idol and this was at ISAC, which is a competition between idols. #쯔위 #ツウィ https://t.co/krZ2ZvCfvw pic.twitter.com/pYF6Znvr16
