Idols who have gained the title of 'successful otaku' are becoming a topic of conversation. BELLE from KISS OF LIFE expressed happiness after meeting EXO's Suho. In the recently released YouTube variety show 'KODE', BELLE and Suho faced each other. On this day, BELLE, who met Suho, showed a shy demeanor and revealed her fan heart. BELLE confessed, 'The starting point was EXO seniors. I was a huge fan. I watched concert videos.' Upon hearing this, Suho asked, 'You never came to a concert?' and BELLE regretfully replied, 'I couldn't go to concerts when I was little because I didn't have money.' Suho said, 'I didn't think I could communicate with a real fan,' and mentioned that he knew KISS OF LIFE well and had spoken about their talent, surprising BELLE. Last year, Hoshi from SEVENTEEN, who appeared on the same web variety show, showed a happy smile when meeting his respected SHINee's Taemin. Hoshi conveyed deep affection through KakaoTalk, saying, 'I grew up watching you, brother. I wanted to be like you.'
