Suho, the leader of the popular South Korean boyband EXO, delighted fans with a touching gesture during his performance at the K-Wave festival in Mumbai on October 18. K-Wave, known as India’s largest K-Pop festival, celebrates Korean culture through food, music, and entertainment.
During the event, Suho recognized an Indian fan, Ronak Arora, from a chance encounter nine years earlier. Back then, Ronak had asked Suho, who was not yet a household name, to take a picture of him. A video circulating on social media shows Suho warmly addressing Ronak on stage, saying, “Yeah, ah yeah! I remember him! He asked me to take a picture of himself!” This moment prompted enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

Ronak, a radiologist, shared the heartfelt exchange with Suho on Instagram, posting photos and videos from the event. He reflected on the significance of their reunion, stating, “Life comes a full circle for myself and Suho. Nine years later, we saw each other again today! I went to see him setting the stage on fire at his debut concert in India. And what a surprise! He recognized me in the crowd and remembered our previous encounter. It’s a core moment for us.”
