IU "I barely slept"... Confession of fan feelings for Do Kyungsoo

Singer IU confessed her fandom for singer Do Kyung-soo.

On the 13th, the YouTube channel 'IU Official] featured 'IU's Palette'! 'salute! clap'! A video titled ‘(With Do Kyung-soo) Ep.25’ was posted.

In this day's video, IU confessed, "I am a fan of Do Kyung-soo's music," and asked, "Have you decided on a name for your fan club?" To this, Do Kyung-soo replied, “No, I haven’t decided yet,” and IU clapped her hands and said happily, “It went well.”

IU joked, saying, “I had a question, ‘If it’s not in the script, why don’t we try gathering ideas here?’ so I could barely sleep last night because I was worrying about it.”

IU laughed and said, "I honestly couldn't sleep last night because I was thinking about this. There are about 9 things I thought of. I'll start with the easy ones." He introduced fandom names such as 'NaDO' (a combination of 'Na' and 'DO'), 'Toondasi', 'Toonlang Toonlang', 'Toonremi', and 'Toonryeot'.

Meanwhile, IU got nervous and said, “I suddenly started to sweat a little.” IU, who did not have the confidence to continue introducing the fandom name to Do Kyung-soo, who was awkward about the cute fandom name, quickly finished the introduction and moved on to the next topic, making everyone laugh.

IU also talked about Do Kyung-soo's photo card photo, which has changed from the past. IU commented, "Fans unanimously say to Kyungsoo that there is a part where Do Kyungsoo's growth is remarkable. The 'photo card selfie' is one such example."

Do Kyung-soo reacted to the official photo card photo of him with his head shaved in 2017, saying, "What on earth was he thinking when he took that photo?", making IU laugh. Regarding the story behind the photo, Do Kyung-soo was puzzled and said, "At that time, I had to shave my head to play the role of a North Korean soldier. I think it was at that time. I don't even know why they took the photo like that to share. It seems like a slightly strange time."

IU compared this with the 2024 photo card and praised it, saying, “There is tremendous progress.” Do Kyung-soo explained the secret, "It's so difficult to take a self-portrait, so the staff helps me compose the shot." He then confessed, “I took pictures like this to study, but it’s not easy to do alone.”
