“She’s Lucky To Have You As An Employer”: Netizens Praise Singaporean Who Surprises Helper With Ticket To See BTS’ Suga
TikToker Kimberlee Ang's sweet gesture to help fulfil her helper's dream has gone viral.
BTS’ Suga is holding his Agust D Tour in Singapore in June, and it comes as no surprise that all three nights of his concert here are already sold out.
It goes without saying that it was really tough for the K-pop star’s fans to even snag a ticket.
One Singaporean TikToker, Kimberlee Ang, however, was lucky enough to get a ticket as a gift for her domestic helper, Nur.
According to Kimberlee, it has always been Nur’s dream to attend Suga’s concert but after applying for the ARMY membership presale on Apr 3, Nur realised that the tickets, which were priced from S$168-$348, were too expensive.
“I went on to get it anyway for her; a gift from me and my siblings. She didn’t know I [managed] to get it and I went up to surprise her. She burst into happy tears,” wrote Kimberlee in her clip, which showed an emotional Nur receiving her gift.
“Never in my life have I gotten such anxiety buying [a] concert ticket! I was literally shaking and sweating! I was waiting by 10.57am and by 11am, I was number 5600 plus in line! I was bounced out 3 times before securing the ticket. I’m glad her dream [came] true,” said Kimberlee.
In her caption, Kimberlee added that the tickets were a thank-you gift to Nur, who has been with her family for seven years. She also referred to Nur as her "youngest sister" in a reply to a netizen.
“Party hard on 18th June” she told Nur, who was moved to tears.
Kimberlee’s sweet gesture has touched many netizens, and that includes BTS fans aka ARMYs who did not manage to get tickets themselves.
“I couldn’t get a ticket after two hours of anxiety but if I lost it to her, then it’s worth it,” wrote one netizen, while another called Kimberlee a “one of a kind employer". "She’s lucky to have you as an employer,” added that netizen.
SUGA’s Agust D Tour In Singapore will be held on Jun 16-18, 7pm at Singapore Indoor Stadium.
