Touring around Asia with your megalomaniac husband sure is fun, but if you stand next to a huge K-Pop star, prepare to be ignored.

Melania was just casually hanging out with some teens in South Korea on Tuesday, when suddenly the girls spotted Minho, a member of the South Korean boy-band SHINee.

People found Minho's casual upstaging pretty amusing.

When you think about it, of course Minho got more of a reaction than Melania. Look at it from the girl's perspective, she's the wife of the foreign head of state who might plunge your country into nuclear war. He's a cool as hell member of your favourite pop-band. No contest.

To Melania's credit, she doesn't seem at all put out by the fangirling. She's as pleased and amused as anybody.
