“It was different from the very first leaves of the tree that was ripe”
Broadcaster Yoo Jae-seok testified about the unique side of singer and actress IU. IU, who was a rookie 15 years ago, did not care at all about Park Myung-soo's actions of looking for Jessica from the group Girls' Generation in front of her.

On the YouTube channel 'Tteuntteun', which was released on the morning of the 17th, IU appeared in the 'Winter is no excuse' episode and talked with Yoo Jae-seok and comedian Yang Se-chan.

On this day, Yoo Jae-seok recalled that 15 years ago, at the MBC entertainment program 'Infinite Challenge' Song Festival, IU came to collaborate with Park Myung-soo instead of Girls' Generation's Jessica. Yoo Jae-seok said, "I remember the first meeting between IU and (Park) Myung-soo. IU came to sing 'Naengmyeon' and Myung-soo said, 'Bring Jessica.' But I never forget the look in IU's eyes at that time."

He continued, "The look in his eyes didn't bother me at all (even when he said that). Even if it was a joke, Myungsoo could be intimidated and scared, but he wasn't like that at all." When I saw that, I thought, 'That guy is not normal.' After that, he started to win. "he said. After hearing this, IU drew attention by saying, "Teacher Myungsoo is still apologizing for that."

IU then said that she still maintains a good relationship with Park Myung-soo. IU said, "Speaking of Teacher Park Myung-soo, he rarely calls me, but he called me a while ago. He called me and I answered, and he said, 'Why are you answering?'" and "When I come back, I'll say 'Excuse Go' or Teacher Shin Dong-yeop." “The idea was to stay away from the YouTube broadcast and come out on ‘Whal Myungsoo’,” he said, making the scene burst into laughter. IU later hinted at appearing on Park Myung-soo's YouTube channel and said, "I'll come see you soon."

IU could have been embarrassed or intimidated by Park Myung-soo's words about looking for Jessica, who was her senior and at the peak of her popularity at the time, but she did her part without feeling particularly offended. Six years later, IU, who had grown into a top singer, met Park Myung-soo as an official partner through the 'Martial Arts Song Festival'. 'Leon', sung by IU and Park Myung-soo, was very popular at the time and received public support.

Netizens who saw this are sending heartwarming support, saying things like, “IU really has a lot of courage,” “I hope the good relationship between IU and Park Myung-soo will continue in the future,” and “As expected, the mature tree was different from the very beginning.”

Although their first meeting was not pleasant, IU understood the situation at the time and has maintained a good relationship with Park Myung-soo. This is the part where IU's distribution can be felt. Park Myung-soo has mentioned several times on various broadcasts that IU sends him gifts during holidays.
