Hong Kong wushu national team member Lidia Sham (Xiaowei, 26), who won the gold medal, is making headlines for keeping a special promise with EXO member Kai (32).

On the 21st, Sham competed in the women's changquan event at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games held at the Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium in Japan, scoring a total of 9.713 points. Specifically, she received 5.000 points for technical execution, 2.713 points for performance quality, and 2.00 points for difficulty. She claimed the top spot on the podium by narrowly defeating Macau's Xu Chuyuan (9.710 points) in second place with a margin of just 0.003 points.

Immediately after winning, Sham posted a video on her social media (SNS) showing her past conversation with Kai at an EXO fan signing event. In the video, Kai formed a crown shape above his head with both hands and asked, "If I do this, can you win a gold medal?" to which Sham replied, "I will do my best."

Along with the video, Sham left a comment in Hangul: "I really won the Asian Games gold medal. I worked hard to keep this promise. Thank you!" She also added phrases such as "Let's meet at the Encore Concert from the 6-8" and "Please let me meet EXO, please."

Sham is a veteran athlete who has participated in the Asian Games three times so far, serving as the flag bearer for the Hong Kong delegation at the opening ceremony of this tournament.

Sham has been an EXO fan since middle school and has dedicated herself to sports with the goal of becoming someone who shines on stage like EXO.

Her affection for EXO was also reflected in her competition uniform. Sham had a hexagonal pattern symbolizing EXO engraved on her Asian Games competition uniform.

Sham reached the summit of Asia by keeping a promise with her favorite idol. As her story became known, congratulations from global fans have continued to pour in.
