But what made the experience even more special was Gabby and Apples' interaction with a lucky EXO-L fan named Jeric. On X (formerly Twitter), Jeric posted a heartfelt message expressing his gratitude to the couple for treating him to the concert on his birthday.

"Today is my day and I think this is a great day to express my sincere gratitude to Ms. Apples Eigenmann and Sir Gabby Eigenmann. Thank you po for making me experience "BLOOM in Manila". Sobrang saya ko po that I was able to see Kyungsoo perform and hear him live dahil po sa inyo," he wrote.

The post included photos of Jeric with the couple and a video of him becoming emotional as Gabby comforted him with a hug.

The Kapuso actor shared as well Jeric's post with a reply, "We are one Jeric! Happy birthday"

Jeric's post garnered over 46,000 views and 1,800 reactions, with many online users leaving congratulatory and delighted comments in the replies.

Gabby initially connected with Jeric through social media when the fan posted a video from EXO's SUHO 'SU:HOME' concert. In the video, Jeric shared his emotions about the event and mentioned that it was his first concert after 11 years as an EXO-L fan. He had only previously seen his K-pop idols at airports or interacted with other fans outside concert venues. Thanks to a co-fan, Jeric finally experienced a K-pop concert live on stage.

Touched by Jeric's story, Gabby reshared the post and promised to treat him to EXO's next concert. He wrote "Grabe naman na touch ako.. sana nakita kita nung sabado.. sa susunod na EXO con, message mo ako, magkita tayo.."

Gabby was already known as a loyal and dedicated EXO fan. He often posts reactions or memes about the group and even shares his personal experience of attending their concerts. He even flew to Japan once to experience Kai's virtual concert "LYNK-POP: THE VR CONCERT KAI."
