This man stays jobless 24/7. He’s nowhere to be found in sponsored ads, variety shows, brand events, fan meetings, lead roles, cameos. No one sends him food trucks either. so I’m genuinely curious what kind of busy schedule did he have that made him turn down this offer? 😭 https://t.co/mV0IZ3NrN3— AiSh TLG 🦋 (@MeeeAisha) August 19, 2026
