Kpop idols receive a variety of things from their fans. Most of it is the usual, such as stuffed toys, notes and clothes. There are those who dare to send more unconventional things, such as their hair, but things like that fall under the category of “strange things never to give your idols” kinds of stuff.

One of the things that actually caught my attention is how some of these fans go the extra mile and buy their idols lunch. It’s actually quite common for fandoms to send food to their favorite Kpop idols.

Of course, who isn’t happy seeing their favorite having a hearty meal and eating well? And who isn’t happy when someone sends them food?
