He had also arranged to have Choi Min-ho from K-pop band SHINee record a video message congratulating Kahiyang and Bobby.

Moon chose the gifts knowing that Kahiyang was a fan of the genre, as she has seen several K-pop concerts in Indonesia. 

Kahiyang has met and posed for photos with Choi during the Music Bank festival in Jakarta in 2013, as well as SNSD's Hyoyeon during the Countdown Asian Games 2018 event in August, which was also held in Jakarta. (liz/kes)
