The K-pop girl group arrived late for an Adidas 70th anniversary event, but the football star uses the time to interact with fans instead

YG Entertainment’s girl group BLACKPINK stood David Beckham up, arriving late for the Adidas 70th anniversary event at Seoul Times Square on October 9, 2019. But the former English football star took it in his stride.

BLACKPINK and Beckham were supposed to appear together, but Beckham went offstage when the group did not show up. BLACKPINK arrived 20 minutes later and their joint appearance was delayed by one hour.

While waiting for BLACKPINK, Beckham took selfies with fans, putting the time to good use.
