Right when the Olympics kicked off, figure skaters Maia and Alex Shibutani revealed that they made customized hats for K-pop band, BTS.
So, what happened to them?
“We were able to hand off the hats, not directly to BTS, but [to] people that we trust will be able to deliver them. They are in transit at the moment,” they shared in a recent interview with Elle.
However, it looks like the hats already made it to the band — because Jin and V were spotted with them! Check out the pics below!
Maia and Alex also spoke about how they were able to connect with BTS and other K-pop stars because of the universal language of music.
“People all around the world are connecting because the music is good, the dancing is good, the talent is so evident,” Alex shared. “Music is one of those universal languages that everyone can understand. In a lot of ways, we had to do the same thing being different in our sport. We had to make sure that our talent spoke louder than anyone’s preconceived notions.”
He adds, “The message they promote through their music is also very positive and we wanted to show our appreciation.”

Alex Shibutani is celebrating International Women’s Day right — by shining a light on his ice dance partner, and sister, Maia.
Today, the 26-year-old Olympic bronze medalist headed to Twitter, honoring Maia.
“@MaiaShibutani is brave, intelligent, and compassionate. Strong, courageous, innovative, and inspiring. She is smart. She is funny. She is kind. She is unstoppable, and she is my sister… Maia deserves to have the same rights and opportunities as me,” he starts.
Alex continues, “@MaiaShibutani and I are equals on the same team. We work together on and off the ice to accomplish our goals. We support and respect each other. I couldn’t do what I do without her.”
If this isn’t sibling goals, we don’t know what is.

I believe in gender equality. It is not just a women’s issue. It’s a human rights' issue and it affects us all. We need to learn from each other, support each other, and grow together. #InternationalWomensDay#IWD2018#HeForShe
The 28-year-old Olympic bronze medalist ran into Shawn inside the 2018 Vanity Fair Oscar Party at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on Sunday night (March 4) in Beverly Hills, Calif.
If you missed it, Adam revealed his crush on the “Mercy” hitmaker during his appearance on Ellen last week.
“Here’s the thing. I was sleeping on Shawn Mendes…I just didn’t realize how cute he was,” Adam shared then.

Alex and Maia Shibutani play around with their double bronze medals during their appearance on BUILD Series in New York City on Friday afternoon (March 2).
The two ice dancing siblings opened up at the event about how it really feels to skate at the Olympics versus other events.
“Going in, you kind of have that game plan of just acting like this is any other skate,” Maia explains. “Once you are there in the Olympic environment, it’s inevitable that you’re going to feel the pressure.”
“The Olympic rings are everywhere, the audience is going insane…it’s not like any other skating competition.”
Alex adds, “You have the audience, and people watching around the world and that adds to the stakes, and to the excitement.”
Earlier in the week, Maia and Alex also performed their free dance at Rockefeller Center on Today, on Live! with Kelly and Ryan, and also stopped by the Empire State Building.
