Singer and producer JY Park didn't hide his surprise during a recent episode of the show ' GYM Jong Kook '.

In celebration of the release of his new single " Easy Lover ," JY Park was a guest on 'GYM Jong Kook' where he showcased his personal gym, dance studio, and indoor basketball court.

After showing off his basketball court, 'GYM Jong Kook' producer asked an intriguing question:

"Imagine someone who met Kobe Bryant and received a signed football from him. But then that person neglected it for years. What do you think about that?"

Turning to Kim Jong Kook , JY Park replied in shock:

"That's not true. Do you have a ball signed by Kobe?"

Laughing, Kim Jong Kook explained:

"Yes, I met him and he signed it. But then I left him on the balcony too long. I recently met him again and since I was shooting something basketball related, I decided to take it and show it to the people I was filming with. But everyone scolded me. HaHa even slapped me."

Here's proof that Kim Jong Kook carried Kobe Bryant's signed ball and even considered playing basketball with it:

Faced with JY Park's stunned reaction, netizens commented, "His eyes look like they're going to pop out of their sockets haha," "Don't tell that to someone who has a basketball court in their house, they might having a heart attack, haha", "If it were me, I would have fainted on the spot, haha", "I've never seen such a reaction from JY Park before, haha" and more.
