The ultimate dream of K-pop fans all over the world? To meet their idols at least once in their lifetime.
This Malaysian girl had her dreams fulfilled recently when her beloved idol attended her graduation ceremony! Her idol came dressed in a crisp black suit with a rose in his hand, which instantly made her break into a wide smile and set her heart fluttering. How is that even possible?
It all started out as a joke between this netizen, Winnie Choo, and her friends. Before her convocation, her friends had asked her to choose between flowers or stuffed toy bears as a graduation gift. Being a loyal fan to her idol, she jokingly said that she wanted her idol, which was Kim JaeJoong from the boy group, JYJ.

Just when you thought fried chicken, money flowers or even durian bouquets were the top of the game, it looks like there’s a new contender in the scene that is winning hearts out there.
Being the good friends that they are, Choo’s friends kept their promise and presented the handsome idol to her on her graduation day. Although he arrived in the form of a cardboard cut-out standee, it did not stop her exclamation as she could be heard saying “WTF” at the sight of him in a viral video clip.
