A famous person I'd like to meet is Abel Tesfaye. He's a Canadian producer, singer, and artist. The Weeknd has been in the spotlight for many years and is well-known for his style of writing songs and his unique voice. I know him from one of his songs. If I remember correctly, it was called "Starboy." The interesting thing is that when I first listened to that song, I didn't even like it. It felt a bit cringy to me. But after some time, when I listened to his other songs, I realized that he's a genius, a well-tuned person in the music industry. That's why he caught my attention, and I started to connect with his music. I'd like to meet him at one of his concerts, specifically backstage, because there I can talk with him comfortably, ask questions, and get an autograph from him. The reason I want to meet him is that he has been an idol for me. He faced some difficult stages and obstacles in his life and found ways to overcome these problems.
