Arshie Larga gets noticed by EXO twice at Manila concert

Arshie Larga finally got his lucky day as an EXO-L!

The pharmacist and content creator was noticed by EXO twice during their Manila concert.

In an Instagram Reel, Arshie shared throwback photos from when he attended the band’s concerts years ago.

The video then cuts to Arshie getting noticed by EXO during soundcheck when members pointed at him.

"I was shocked and shy," he wrote in the video.

The second time Arshie was noticed was during the concert itself. The camera and concert screen focused on Arshie, who held a sign showing that he started stanning EXO in 2012 and how in 2026, he is “still by your side.” Arshie also danced to “Growl” for EXO.

“Pasensya na guys kinabahan talaga ako pero maraming salamat sa cheer and support,” Arshie wrote.

“Nilakasan ko nalang loob ko kasi sila talaga ult group ko, kaya to be noticed by them really means the world to me,” he added. “Salamat EXO-Ls this one is for all of us! Sabi nga ng EXO, ‘we are one!’”

For Arshie, this was a full circle moment.

“Thank you so much to everyone who cheered and supported me just to get noticed by EXO—it means the world to me. If it weren't for you guys, this never would have happened, so please accept my sincerest gratitude,” he said in his caption.

He added that the moment was “for every fan who wishes to be noticed by their idols one day: the right opportunity will come.”

“It took me 14 years and an amazing community to get here,” Arshie said. “This milestone belongs to all of us. EXO-Ls, we are one!”

Arshie is best known for his informative and inspiring videos as a pharmacist. In 2024, he was included in the Forbes "30 Under 30.”

This wasn’t the first time Arshie was noticed by a K-Pop star. He previously met 2NE1’s CL on a flight, while J-Hope from BTS liked his TikTok dance cover.
