As a caption to the post, Alobo wrote, "I invited a Kpop star to Nagaland, India and made him eat Raja Mircha - the famous King chili from North East of India."

After consuming bhoot jolokia, a teary-eyed Dabit says, "I feel like my tongue is gonna fall out." Then, the K-pop idol and his manager consume the bhoot jolokia. To their credit, however, they do manage to hold their own while consuming the king chillies, much to the delight of the people.
