What is the difference between "I know" and "I know of"? I learned "I know" means I have met or talked to someone. On the other hand, "I know of" means I know, even though I have never met or talked. Is it OK? So, what does "I know about" mean? I know Shohei Ohtani, I know of Shohei Ohtani or I know about Shohei Ohtani. Which is correct?

Shohei Ohtani. Which is correct?
“I know" refers to personal knowledge or awareness, "I know of" implies familiarity or recognition without detailed knowledge, and "I know about" suggests having specific knowledge or information about a particular subject.

Well, in this context,
"I know ____" means you have personally met them and talked to them.
"I know of ___" means you know that this person exists.
"I know about ____" means you know something about this person.
Just replace the blank with the person's name.
Which one is correct depends on what you want to say.
Hope this helps :)
