Actresses IU and Lee Yeon recently shared delightful stories from their Jeju trip and heartwarming anecdotes about each other.
On the 27th, the YouTube channel 'Cosmopolitan Korea' released a video titled '21st Century Grand Lady | IU vs Lee Yeon Aegyo Battle?' featuring IU and Lee Yeon, who are currently starring in the drama '21st Century Grand Lady.' The video showcased the duo candidly discussing behind-the-scenes moments and their personal lives.
IU and Lee Yeon displayed their chemistry beyond the set, revealing that they went on a '1-night, 2-day trip to Jeju Island' with fellow actor Yoo Soo-bin.
IU shared, 'We had a short trip but enjoyed delicious foods like black pork and squid noodles, and even climbed an oreum. We thought it would be a light walk, but it turned out to be almost three hours.' Lee Yeon corrected her, saying, 'No, it was about an hour and a half,' to which IU humorously insisted, 'No, please, it was about two and a half hours.'
The two actresses also shared touching moments that strengthened their bond. Lee Yeon recalled, 'When I stayed over at IU's house, she woke up earlier than usual to prepare fruits and sweet potatoes for me, even though she's a night owl. She quietly prepared everything and told me to eat before going back to sleep. It was so touching.'
IU reciprocated the praise, saying, 'Whenever I prepare something, she always does the dishes at lightning speed. Even as a guest, she does things she doesn't have to do. She even folds pajamas and towels neatly like a hotel. It shows what kind of life she's lived, and I like her even more for it.'
In a playful video message, Lee Yeon teased, '(Yoo) Soo-bin oppa, aren't you jealous? We're having so much fun filming here. You used to get jealous whenever we had fun, but today was especially fun. I miss you, Soo-bin oppa. I don't love you, but I like you.'
Meanwhile, IU recently appeared on MBC's 'I Live Alone' with Lee Yeon and Yoo Soo-bin, expressing gratitude, 'Thank you for coming to my grandfather's funeral. You two were the only friends who came. I was touched that you came right away.'
