At K-Wave Festival, EXO’s Suho Recognises Indian Man Who Asked Him To Take His Pics 9 Years Ago

Suho, a member of the South Korean boyband EXO, has won the hearts of fans with his sweet gesture. The singer recently delivered a power-packed performance at the K-Wave festival in Mumbai on October 18. ICYDK: K-Wave is India’s Biggest K-Pop Festival where attendees can enjoy all things Korean — from their delicious food to spectacular performances by the artists. On the night of this cultural extravaganza, Suho recognised an Indian man while performing on stage whom he met nine years ago. Yes, you read that right. Interestingly, the man, named Ronak Arora was unaware of Suho’s celebrity status back then and asked the pop icon to click a picture of him. 

Now, a video is circulating on social media where Suho can be seen interacting with Ronak Arora. Surprisingly, the Love Shot singer remembered the past encounter. Addressing Ronak he says, “Yeah, ah yeah! I remember him! He asked me to take a picture of himself!” prompting loud cheers from the crowd.

Ronak Arora, a radiologist by profession, also shared the heartwarming conversation with Suho on Instagram. He posted a picture of Suho followed by three videos featuring the special moment. The final slide captured him grooving to Suho’s songs. Along with the post, he penned a long note which read, “Life comes a full circle for myself and Suho. 9 years later we again saw each other today! Went to see him setting the stage on fire at his debut concert in India. And what a surprise! He recognises me in the crowd and so nice of him to remember the incident from his previous visit to India and mention that. It’s a core moment for us.”

Ronak Arora added, “I told him I was there this time to return the favour and click his pictures and record his performance… It was a wonderful atmosphere with Suho’s performance just lighting up the stage.” 

Here’s the throwback video where Ronak Arora asked Suho to take a photograph of him posing against the Gateway of India.
