Who would have thought a Bollywood x Hallyu crossover was even possible? In an unexpected yet exciting turn of events, Wamiqa Gabbi, one of Bollywood’s most promising talents in contemporary times, crossed paths with none other than the Squid Game actor Wi Ha Joon. The two powerhouse performers met at the ongoing Milan Fashion Week during the Onitsuka Tiger AW25 show on February 26.
A moment that instantly sent fans into a frenzy was when the South Korean actor recognised Wamiqa the second they crossed paths. Their interaction, now viral on social media, shows the Baby John actress warmly expressing India’s love for Ha Joon. “You’re doing so great… We love you in India!” she told him with a bright smile on her face. To everyone’s surprise, the 33-year-old Korean actor responded to Wamiqa, saying, “Thank you! I saw your Instagram.” The two stars shared a friendly exchange and posed for a picture before bidding each other farewell.
In the now-viral picture, the Bollywood actress radiated elegance in a white shirt dress paired with black tights. She wore a statement neckpiece and opted for a braided hairstyle. Standing beside her, Wi Ha Joon exuded his signature charm, wearing an all-black outfit that perfectly complemented his stylish persona.
The 33-year-old Korean actor, who garnered international acclaim for his role in Squid Game, has earlier expressed his love for Indian movies. During an interview on the podcast KRazee Talks, Wi Ha Joon named 3 Idiots, Kill, and KGF as his favourite movies. He shared that he is fascinated with the fact that Indian movies “always” feature plenty of dance moves. When asked if he could pull off any steps, the actor politely admitted, “No, I do not know any steps, but of course, I can do them if I practice.”
Speaking of his work, Wi Ha Joon, who is best known for his role as Hwang Jun Ho in Netflix’s survival thriller, has worked in a number of popular films and K-dramas. Over the years, he has appeared in 18 Again, Little Women, Midnight, The Worst of Evil, Gyeongseong Creature and The Midnight Romance in Hagwon.
On the other hand, Wamiqa Gabbi was last seen in Varun Dhawan starrer Baby John. She has many projects in the pipeline, like Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom, Dil Ka Darwaaza Khol Na Darling, Bhool Chuk Maaf, Genie and many more.
