SHINee’s Minho recently shared a funny behind-the-scenes story about making U.S. First Lady Melania Trump smile.
On the KBS radio show Park Myung Soo’s Radio Show on November 11, Minho talked about his memorable interaction with Melania Trump. The conversation came up after Park Myung Soo mentioned that President Trump had been re-elected.
Minho recalled the moment, saying, “When she visited Korea, there was an event organized by the country. It was for a youth project, and something happened.” He added, “Melania Trump is usually very dignified and serious, but when she saw the girls scream after seeing me, she smiled brightly. It became a story on its own.”
When Park Myung Soo asked if Minho spoke to her in English, Minho explained, “I simply said it was an honor to meet her, and she liked it.”
Park jokingly asked if Minho would say, “Remember me?” if he met her again. Minho laughed and said, “Do I need to say that? Is there even a chance we’ll meet again?” He then playfully added, “If I do see her again, I might say, ‘Do you remember this incident from before?’ It could be a good icebreaker!”
Minho met Melania Trump at the Girls Play 2 campaign event on November 7, 2017, at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul. Around 80 middle school students from five schools attended the event, where they gave Melania Trump a standing ovation after her speech. When the female students cheered after seeing Minho, Melania Trump smiled and placed her hand on his arm.
