In a recent episode of the YouTube channel 'DdeunDdeun,' IU and Byun Woo-seok appeared as guests to promote the new MBC drama '21st Century Grand Lady.'
During the video, Yoo Jae-suk commented to Byun Woo-seok, "You have a youthful charm. Even Woo-jae finds you cute." Byun Woo-seok responded, "I am serious and work hard at everything," but added with a laugh, "I think it's because I'm the youngest at home."
Byun Woo-seok further explained, "My sister is five years older than me. When I was young, she was already working and would buy me clothes. It felt more like she was taking care of me than just being a sibling."
As the conversation naturally shifted to family, the topic turned to IU's brother.
When Yoo Jae-suk asked her to send his regards, IU replied, "He would be so honored," adding to the warm atmosphere.
When the topic of her brother's appearance came up, IU laughed and candidly said, "He really looks like me, but it's like when I'm having a really bad day. I can't deny the resemblance," which elicited laughter.
Netizens who watched the video reacted with comments like 'It's funnier because she's honest' and 'That's exactly how siblings are.'
Previously, IU shared a video on her YouTube channel where she went shopping for her brother's birthday gift. While buying the gift, she asked if he liked it. Her brother replied, "You can't buy happiness with money, but you can make someone happy with it, and I learned that from you," creating a heartwarming moment.
IU also expressed, "I feel more fulfilled earning money when I can buy gifts," as she generously gifted her brother luxury 'S brand' clothes, showcasing their sibling bond.
