Soon after the Netflix star dropped the selfie, netizens went gaga, reacting to the picture.

However, some guessed that this selfie might open the gate for Khan's debut in South Korean cinema, with several fans questioning, "Is he the new VIP?" referring to Squid Game. Unfortunately, it would remain a dream, as the Korean show has ended with season 3.

The selfie comes after a video of Shah Rukh and Aamir Khan posing for a picture with other celebrities, including South Korean actors Lee Byung-hun, Lee Jung-jae, and others. Dressed to the nines, SRK and Aamir were seen posing and chatting with the other global celebrities. In the picture, Jung-jae is wearing the same grey outfit as in the selfie, hinting that he might have clicked the selfie during this evening meeting.

Before this selfie, YouTuber MrBeast took the internet by storm after he shared a picture with Bollywood’s iconic trio, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan.
