Older female admirers of K-pop star Kai from Exo, along with other similar individuals, also have a fondness for Chinese dramas and Thai idols.

In the world of K-pop, there are fans, and then there are superfans. For one woman in her 40s, her passion for the genre has led her on an extraordinary journey that started almost a decade ago with a member of the boy group EXO – Kai.

Kai, a 31-year-old K-pop star, has captivated fans worldwide with his talent and stage presence. For this woman, it's not just his good looks that have her hooked, but his constant pursuit of perfection in his craft.

Her fascination with Kai has manifested in various ways. She attends EXO concerts, collects CDs from the group, and even purchases them for the photocards. Her devotion doesn't stop there; she's also amassed a collection of items related to the animal bear, a symbol associated with Kai.

But her hobby isn't limited to admiring male idols. She's also fangirling for Kai from EXO, a fact that has earned her judgmental looks from non-fans. Yet, her husband, who is aware of Kai's existence, understands her passion and even teases her about it.

Despite the occasional teasing, he accepts her hobby and supports her in her fangirl endeavours. She's even travelled to Seoul for concerts and fan meets related to EXO.

However, this part of her life isn't always easy to share. She struggles to open up about her fangirling, feeling it might be perceived as unhealthy. Yet, she meets younger fans at the concerts who share her passion, providing a sense of community and understanding.

Her fangirling journey isn't a recent phenomenon. It began during her younger years, but she took a break during her junior college days. Now, she's back, stronger than ever, fuelled by her love for Kai and EXO.

Despite the occasional criticism, she continues to embrace her fangirl side, collecting official and fan-made merchandise related to the group. Her love for Kai and EXO is a testament to the power of fandom and the enduring appeal of K-pop.
