Jun Endo (25, Angel City FC) of the Japan women's national soccer team drew attention by appearing at the stadium in a bold fashion.

Japan's 'AbeMa Times' reported on the 14th (Korea time) that Endo's fresh viewing outfit, which appeared at the friendly match venue against the United States, became a hot topic ", stating "that many mistook her for a female rapper 'but she is actually known as the "Lady Gaga of women's soccer" ', Endo ".

Japan lost 1-2 in the first leg of a three-match away series against the Yeo Ja (CEO) team at PayPal Park in San Jose, USA, on the 12th.

Following the sudden resignation of head coach Nils Nielsen, who led the team to victory in the Women's Asian Cup last March, Japan faced the Paris Olympic champion United States under the interim leadership of coach Michihisa Kano.

The media "reported that Endo, who was excluded from the current squad due to injury, traveled by plane from her residence in Los Angeles, just one hour away, to personally cheer for her teammates at the stadium. After the match, she went down to the field and had a warm conversation with Saki Kumagai, Lisa Shimizu, and others ".

On this day, Endo appeared wearing a pink sweat suit set with a tree pattern, a flashy cap, a crop top inner that exposed her midriff, and matched with moccasin boots. The media "stated that Endo's fashion was so striking that even her teammates were surprised, describing it as a bold style reminiscent of a rapper ".

Endo, a left-sided defender with excellent attacking ability, is a key asset for Nadeshiko Japan, having participated in the 2019 and 2023 Women's World Cups and the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

Although she suffered a serious injury in February 2024 — a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee — she returned to the national team in October 2025 through a European tour. While she could not join the current friendly matches due to injury, fans' strong desire for her return remains intense.

Last month, she also drew attention by releasing a photo taken with Son Heung-min at the LAFC home stadium.
