Trump noticed and laughed at her reaction.

A South Korean middle-school student standing next to first lady Melania Trump had an explosive reaction after seeing the Korean pop star and actor Choi Min-ho at a sports event during the US president's visit to the country on Tuesday.

Unbeknownst to the student who was talking with Trump, standing behind her was Choi, who has appeared in several Korean dramas and movies and is a member of Shinee, a wildly popular Korean musical group.

After noticing a fellow student react to Choi, the student next to Trump turned back and appeared to scream.

The first lady noticed the reaction and smiled and gestured at Choi.

Trump attended the government-sponsored event, which encouraged women's participation in sports and promoted the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, according to The Associated Press.
