Yes, today, my Orange Line train was graced by none other than the famous Korean Hymn Dude himself! This gent--of indeterminate (middle?)--age appears every year at about this time.

Having finished two verses between Ballston and Virginia Square, he closed his hymnal, said "Thank you. Merry Christmas!" and shuffled off the train.
