“Deadpool” star Ryan Reynolds took to social media on Wednesday to express his excitement over meeting K-pop boyband EXO, saying in jest that he is “thrilled” to be the newest member of the band.
Reynolds, who is in South Korea promoting his upcoming Netflix film release “6 Underground,” got the chance to meet Suho, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, Kai, and Sehun, six of the nine members of the hit-making boyband EXO.
The actor posted a photo on Twitter of himself with the six performers, writing the caption “Thrilled to be EXO’s newest member. I might not be able to dance or sing, but one thing’s for damn sure: I have no idea how to give the “thumbs up” sign. Honestly, I never learned it. @weareoneEXO @Bosslogic.”
