Evgenia Medvedeva had her dreams come true over the weekend and met EXO!
The 18-year-old Russian figure skater, who won two silver medals, was able to meet the eight-piece K-pop band ahead of the closing ceremonies, where they performed.
“Dreams come true,” Evgenia captioned on her Instagram, with several heart emojis. Later on, she showed off the album she received from the band, which they all signed.
During the closing performance, EXO performed a collection of their most famous songs, including “Power” and “Growl”. Just the night before, Evgenia was seen performing at the figure skating gala.

Last night, Evgenia Medvedeva won the silver medal at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in ladies’ figure skating.
Although she was hoping for (and we were rooting for) the gold medal, we’re pretty sure that Evgenia is still coming out on top because she gets to meet her fave band, K-pop stars EXO!
The K-pop band will meet several winter athletes ahead of their closing ceremony performance, and Evgenia, who revealed she warms up to the band during practice, is one of them.
“It’s unreal inspiration and it really improved my mood,” Evgenia said about listening to their music ahead of competing.
One of the group’s members Baekhyun is also excited to meet her, saying, “We would love to meet her if we get the chance. Whenever we hear that an athlete is our fan, we talk about how amazing that is in our group chat. We always have a strong desire to meet all of them.”
