Fans showing love and support for their favorite idols is typical in the entertainment industry. One way fans express their appreciation is by giving gifts to their idols, whether during concerts, fan meets, or other means. These gifts range from simple items like letters or handmade crafts to extravagant items like luxury watches or designer clothing.
However, sometimes fans surprise their idols with unexpected gifts that leave them both amused and touched. This was the case for Maloi, the main vocal of the Filipino girl group BINI.
During a recent live stream on the KUMU app, Maloi was taken aback when she received an unexpected gift from one of her fans— a rice cooker!
P-pop Rice?
As she unboxed the gift on camera, she was surprised to find a brand new rice cooker inside. At first, she was unsure what to make of the unusual gift, but as she continued to unpack it, she couldn't help but laugh at the unexpectedness of the present. "I love the color, very cute lang siya," she said.
