IU "Last year, when I turned 30, there were lots of fun events"

Singer and actress IU (Lee Ji-eun) mentioned being in her 30s.

On the 16th, Harper's Bazaar magazine released a pictorial with IU. This pictorial with the theme of duality captured two faces: the icon IU and the human Lee Ji-eun.

The published pictorial shows IU's face with various facets, from bare face to dark smokey makeup that she is trying for the first time.

IU revealed the reason why she chose 'I Was Fooled', her drama comeback after 4 years. He said, “I enjoyed seeing author Lim Sang-chun’s previous works so much, and it was refreshing because this work had its own new story.”

He added, "It's just a piece of print, but it was able to make people feel this way. As someone who enjoys reading and writing, I also felt envious of the writer's talent."

IU said, "I liked the topic, but I especially liked the fact that it conveyed a heavy story without being heavy. Ae-soon may seem like a person who is easy to see around people, but if you look closely, is she a person whose individuality as a human being stands out? I am attracted to people with that kind of determination. “It’s the same,” he explained.
He also shared honest stories about being in his 30s. IU said, "It is no exaggeration to say that in my 20s, I lived with worries about direction. Those passionate worries were fun, but honestly, they were also tiring. After I turned 30, I didn't particularly think about direction."

Also, "Being wealthy. Perhaps this in itself can be the direction of the present. All last year, I thought, 'I want to maintain this mindset' and 'It's fun to live like this.' Meanwhile, apart from feeling at ease, there are fun events "It was an exciting year. When I look back later when I'm older, I can't help but be curious about my 30s," he said.
