The thing about watching the people we enjoy getting entertainment from is that they aren’t just limited to a certain field. One day, these celebs are doing their thing, the next, they’re rubbing shoulders with other stars that we never thought we’d see in the same frame. It’s like you’re running into that acquaintance or distant cousin you’ve heard about but never thought you’d see in person. And this 2024, even though we aren’t even halfway through the year yet, we’ve already had our fair share of these moments. Scroll down for the celeb crossovers we didn’t expect, but are more than happy are real.
NADINE LUSTRE AND PARK MIN KYU
When Nadine Lustre attended a Bulgari event in South Korea earlier this year, she had head turnings for all the right reasons, and that included a few Korean personalities. Park Min Kyu, who you may know as a contestant on Singles Inferno 3, was so smitten with Nadine that he posted a video of him posing alongside Nadine at the event on his Instagram with the caption “she was really beautiful”.
