(Video) Malaysian EXO-L Gets Noticed By EXO's Kai For His Eye-Catching Concert Outfit
EXO (엑소) member Kai (카이) recently kickstarted his 'KAION' solo concert tour in Seoul, performing for thousands of EXO-Ls (EXO fans). However, one surprising highlight of yesterday's show was a Malaysian fan who caught the idol's attention with his eye-catching concert outfit.
For context, the concert had a dress code of 'camouflage military'. As such, many fans showed up in camo print and combat-style clothing. However, one fan took it further and showed up at the concert wearing a full ghillie suit. The fan quickly went viral for the unusual yet very on-theme outfit. As it turned out, the mysterious fan was a Malaysian EXO-L based in Seoul named Naufal Omar.
After learning of his identity, fans flooded Naufal's Twitter account with comments on his outfit. Many praised his dedication to the dress code, even saying he won the night with his outfit. Others also hoped that Kai would notice his hard work, noting that it's uncomfortable to wear a ghillie suit to a concert. Thankfully, Naufal's efforts were not in vain because the EXO member did notice him and even gave him a shout-out on stage.
In the video Naufal shared, the singer was on stage when he said he wanted to look for the fan in the ghillie suit. After locating Naufal in the crowd, Kai cheekily asked him, 'Aren't you hot?', before telling him to take a cold shower once he returns home from the concert. Adding to Naufal's surprise, Kai remembered that the two had met three years ago for a video on the Hello82 YouTube channel.
Netizens filled the comments section, congratulating Naufal for getting noticed by his idol. Some also pointed out how Kai remembered him, highlighting the 'Adult Swim' singer's love for his fans. Others said that the fan deserved the shout-out for going through the trouble of wearing a ghillie suit to the concert. Naufal was understandably elated over the interaction, even saying he could 'rest in peace' after the interaction.
Congratulations to Naufal for getting noticed by his idol! Perhaps more Malaysians can catch Kai's attention during his KL concert this weekend! In the meantime, watch the moment when Naufal got a shout-out from Kai below:

(Video) SHINee's Minho Goes Viral For Stunning Visuals During Recent Triathlon
If there's one thing you should know about SHINee's Minho (샤이니 민호), is that he's one of K-pop's most athletic idols. The 33-year-old recently participated in a triathlon in South Korea, showcasing his athletic prowess and good looks. Over the weekend, the idol participated in the Chungju Tangeum Lake National Triathlon Race in Seoul. As with most triathlon races, Minho had to swim, bike and run over various distances while competing for the fastest overall time. For this specific race, the distances for each sport were 750m for swimming, 40km for biking and 10km for running. According to reports, the idol completed the race in 2 hours and 18 minutes. Since the race was public, fans got to see the idol compete in the triathlon in person. Photos and videos of Minho at the event made their way onto social media, sparking interest amongst netizens. Most of the comments were stunned by the idol's 'unreal' visuals, noting that he looked like he was in a photo shoot for a sports magazine. Some fans even called him a Ken doll because of his toned figure and blond hair. Surprisingly, the triathlon isn't the only sporting event that Minho participated in recently. Last month, the idol challenged himself in the HYROX competition in Taipei. The sporting competition combines 8 kilometres of running and eight functional workout stations, with participants alternating between running and functional exercises. Minho reportedly completed the event with an impressive record of 1 hour and 4 minutes. The SHINee member has also shared his HYROX experience through his personal YouTube channel. Fans have expressed awe at Minho's athleticism, arguing that it isn't easy to maintain his fitness level. Some even said the idol inspired them to become active. Funnily, some fans also joked that they can no longer tell whether Minho is an idol or an athlete, given his love for working out. We wonder what sports competition Minho will participate in next. Whatever it is, we're sure he'll give it his all.
