Min Woo Lee’s rise in golf has taken him to some extraordinary places, but even he admits a few moments still don’t feel real.
The Australian star has built a reputation as one of the sport’s most exciting young players, known for his flair on the course and personality off it.
Yet, away from tournaments, one of his most unexpected connections has come through the world of pop music.
The 25-year-old revealed that he’s formed a friendship with a global superstar who shares his growing passion for golf.
Min Woo Lee on meeting Justin Bieber
Min Woo Lee revealed that he first met Justin Bieber a few years ago and that their connection began through a shared love of golf.
“I’m still shocked I got to go and talk to him. It’s not normal — I’m just a kid from Perth,” Lee said to the Shift magazine.
He explained that the friendship has continued since then. “I got to know Justin a couple of years ago… I’ve given him tips on his swing,” he added.
Bieber, known for embracing new hobbies, has often been spotted at golf courses and events in recent years.
Lee also mentioned that Bieber’s recent launch party reflected his passion for golf. “His launch party was golf-themed — it was very cool,” he said.
The golfer’s description captured both admiration and disbelief, showing how down-to-earth he remains despite moving in circles that now include some of the world’s biggest names.

Away from the course, Min Woo Lee has become one of golf’s most visible figures online.
His mix of humour, confidence, and creativity has earned him a massive following, setting him apart from the sport’s more traditional personalities.
Short clips of trick shots, behind-the-scenes moments, and stylish posts have helped make him one of the few golfers with mainstream appeal.
Lee’s ability to connect with fans has turned him into a crossover figure who brings energy and entertainment to a sport often known for restraint.
His friendship with Bieber only adds to that image, a sign of how his brand reaches beyond golf.
It’s that blend of authenticity and charisma that continues to make Lee one of the most refreshing faces in modern sport.
