The Down Low
There's an adjective that shows up a lot when you read about JiSu Park: "Youngest." She was the youngest player to join the Korean national team at 16, the youngest player in the WNBA her rookie season at 19, and the youngest player to win MVP of the Women's Korean Basketball League at 20. Which is to say that, she has a long future in the WNBA if she wants it.
(One thing she is not the youngest to do? Join BTS ARMY.)
