Suho flies fans to Jeju for all-expense-paid fan meeting, EXO-Ls touched: ‘Best boy’

EXO's leader Suho thanked fans by organizing a memorable meet-and-greet for his first album release after completing his military service

All EXO-Ls (EXO’s fandom) can agree that Suho is probably the best leader ever. Even while he was in the military, he would frequently come online to update fans. There really could be no better Valentine’s Day gift as he finished his military service on February 13. And now that he is back and active with EXO, he has been showering fans with tons of gifts and content. He had first shared that his group and he too would be releasing new albums. Suho stayed true to his words as he finally released his second solo album ‘Grey Suit’. 

And the EXO leader is more than grateful for his fans. During a solo performance recently, Suho ended up crying as he thanked fans for waiting for him for the past two years. He also truly decided to show his genuine gratitude by going one step further during a promotional event. While fans are the ones who usually hold events for a K-pop act’s comeback, Suho decided that it was his turn as he flew fans to Jeju Island for a special meet-and-greet.

Suho holds a fansign at Jeju Island

Suho went all out for the fansign as he held it at the scenic tourist spot of Jeju Island. Not only would the event be held at a sea-side cafe but fans would be getting free goodies, drinks, and merch along with the signed album. If that wasn’t enough, the EXO star revealed that he would be paying for all of the expenses of the fans, including the flight tickets and the transport around the island. But there’s more! Suho also added that he wanted to show his appreciation by being the one to personally pay for the whole event since he was the one who had suggested it.

During a radio show on April 11, Suho had revealed that he wanted fans to have a memorable event, and so they could even stay back and choose their return ticket dates. The K-pop idol shared that he discussed it with his label SM who then offered to pay for the event instead. When fans told him that they were impressed since he was the first to do so, Suho was surprised. During a fancall, he revealed that he thought all idols were doing it and did not realize that what he had done at Jeju was so extraordinary.

‘A trendsetter’

Fans were touched as they made tweets like, “Junmyeon wanting to take a photo with fans at his Jeju Cafe event 🥹 The best boy ever... Coming up with such an event in order to communicate and be closer to his fans.. Really the best boy ever!” Another fan said, “Junmyeon is so precious.”

One EXO-L flexed, “Suho really set a blueprint with that all expenses paid fansign in Jeju Island. He really is a trendsetter. Let's see which group does this next.” Even non-fans were impressed, “Suggesting to pay for the fans' domestic flight tickets???? damn that's on a whole another level.” Another fan agreed when Suho shared that more companies and idols should show fans such dedication, “I mean he’s not wrong.”
