It’s not news when artists receive gifts from fans, but this time, this group of Saudi Arabian fans took it to the ultimate level that we think no one else can top.
Super Junior, one of the biggest K-pops, recently held a concert on 12-13 July in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia as part of their “Super Junior World Tour ‘Super Show 7S'”.
Being the first-ever single K-pop act to perform in that country, the local fans were beyond thrilled and proud to welcome their idols. So glad in fact that they prepared the most insane gifts ever! Here are some of the craziest ones:
1. Fan-bought advertising on the world’s biggest LED screen
According to China Press, the fans (who are known as E.L.F.s) had prepared a massive collection of expensive and luxurious gifts for the band, including advertising the concert for them on the world’s biggest LED screen.
Not epic enough for you?
Well, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
2. Gold and Rolex watches
Super Junior members, Lee Teuk and Hee Chul, also received a personalised brooch pin made of GOLD and a Rolex watch as they were celebrating their birthdays this month.
If you thought that was nuts, prepare for…
3. Volcano rock and Saudi oil(?)
Not only that, fans have chipped in to make the most unique (and borderline weird) gift for them — a bracelet that was made of volcano rock, with an attached mini gold barrel charm that contains OIL. WTF?!
And last but not least…
4. Flower bouquets wrapped in cash
Yes, you read that right. CASH.
These gifts made us feel poor when the Saudi fans expressed that these were just “simple gifts” for the artists.
We understand that fans will go the extra mile to make sure their idols notice them but don’t feel bad if you’re unable to do so. Support the band that you love responsibly; they’d appreciate it more if you don’t sabotage yourselves. ?
