IU is currently meeting audiences with the movie 'Dream' (directed by Lee Byung-hun). 'Dream' is the story of Hong Dae (played by Park Seo-joon), a clueless former soccer player, and So-min (played by IU), a passionless producer, who challenge an impossible dream with a ragtag group of homeless national team players.
