Whether you’re a fan of K-Pop idol group EXO or beloved space opera “Star Wars“, there is something for both fandoms to look forward to.
Earlier this week, the official Korean “Star Wars” Facebook page posted a photo of a mysterious group of people under the upcoming film logo “Star Wars: The Force Awakens“.
The photo came with the caption:
“Star Wars: The Force Awaken” collaboration music video! Awakening the force with top stars! Which idols are posing for “Stars Wars” in the picture?
Though the page kept the identities of stars under wraps, many K-Pop fans are quick to figure out that the said K-Pop stars are EXO.
As some fans pointed out, the white silhouettes in the picture matched the promotional picture for the group’s latest hit single, “Love Me Right“.
According to Korean media outlet Naver, EXO and the “Star Wars” Korea team have previously met during the 20th Busan International Film Festival.
During the film festival, leader Suho has personally visited the “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” booth and showed his affection as a fan of “Star Wars”. However, he wasn’t the only member to have shown great interest in the movie.
Earlier in October, member Baekhyun paid a visit to the “Star Wars” headquarter and updated his Instagram with a photo of him and Suho posing next to a hologram of “Star Wars” character C3PO.
