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:
