EXO’s Kai and Chen were two of the incredible performers at London’s recent HallyuPopFest. Both idols ensured that they would give fans the best performances possible, with Kai even dancing so hard that he ripped his pants.

There was one fan in particular who proved her love for the idols. While Kai looked stunningly handsome on the red carpet, fans were almost more captivated by an adorable fan.
Many fans felt she was a relatable example of how they’d never stop stanning EXO.

But one fan couldn’t contain their surprise as they explained that the woman in the photo was their mother and that both of them are big EXO fans who had come to see Kai and Chen.

In fact, the mother might even be more of a fan since she was willing to do everything possible to get to see them in person.
She was so embarrassing this day but oh my god

The two had spent a while in line to secure their place, and while the one fan understood that other fans who had been waiting longer might have needed to leave the line temporarily…
I literally kept asking her like its fine because we’ll still get through from our place and it was fine. We had gotten up at 5am and started arriving just after 6(?)PM. So if people were queuing in the night, but had to leave for bathroom/drinks than its more than fair they go😭

Their mother didn’t exactly agree.
fr tho to everyone affected im so sorry😭😭

Fortunately, a lot of other fans understood the situation.
Parents always find some ways to embarrass us. You are not alone. But we love them anyway https://t.co/wUji1AqjZH

And many fans were still insisting that it was adorable to see the mom’s enthusiasm for EXO.
