art toy he sent him via direct message.  </p><p>“Even the smallest gesture can already be a huge thing for someone… for me,” Jed said. </p><p>The 44-year-old artist, who is a huge BTS fan, said the RM putting out an effort to open his message was more than enough. So he was in disbelief when he found out he received a “heart.”</p><p>“Today, I was over the moon when I saw that RM of BTS has ‘SEEN’ a pic I sent him last December; a photo of an art toy I made, knowing that he collected art toys,” he remarked. </p><p>“That ‘seen’ was enough for me…but today, before sleeping, I sent him another photo of the BTS-inspired VuDu art toys I made… and he responded with a ❤️!” he added. </p><p>The Kapamilya singer said “connecting” with an artist he adores felt different considering he already met some of the biggest international artists out there. </p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/12/3/fresh-scoops/jed-madela-nasayang-ang-ticket-sa-concert-ng-bts-197219"><strong><u>READ: Jed Madela, hindi nakalipad papuntang US; nasayang ang ticket sa concert ng BTS</u></strong></a></div><p>“Sorry, guys.
