Filipina K-Pop idol Gehlee (Gehlee Dangca) is taking the internet by storm, not for her singing or dancing, but for her funny antics on the reality show Universe Ticket. The rising star has left a lasting impression on her fellow contestants and viewers alike, thanks to her unique way of bonding with them – taking selfies with their phones… without their permission!
Gehlee‘s playful side was recently revealed in an interview with fellow contestants Yeram and Haram on Pocket TV. The girls shared how Gehlee would seize every opportunity to grab their phones whenever they were unattended and take some “not-so-flattering” selfies, often with the camera held at a funny angle.
