IU's Dating Style: A Concern for Close Friend Yoo In-na

Singer and actress IU's dating style has become a topic of concern for her close friend Yoo In-na.

On the 29th, the YouTube channel 'Yoo In Radio' released a video titled 'Complete_Couple_Campus.ver_Final | IU Byun Woo-seok | Yoo In Radio S3 EP.02'.

In the video, IU and Byun Woo-seok, who are co-starring in the drama '21st Century Grand Duchess', appeared as guests and engaged in various discussions with host Yoo In-na.

The trio played a 'balance game' on the theme of 'the more challenging type of partner to date'. The options were 'indifferent partner' and 'alarm clock partner', representing extreme dating styles.

Byun Woo-seok and IU each made different choices.

IU expressed, "If my partner is indifferent, it might be exhausting for me as the one preparing," but added, "I can adapt well. Even a 'human alarm' type might seem cute to me."

However, Yoo In-na firmly responded, "Don't be ridiculous, IU," pointing out, "IU tends to go along with everything, which can be dangerous."

She continued, "IU is the type who, even when exhausted, doesn't show it and keeps accommodating until she ends up bedridden and needs to go to the hospital," causing laughter. Yoo In-na advised, "It's better to choose the indifferent partner. Don't end up bedridden," to which IU replied, "Now that I think about it, the indifferent partner might be the right choice," adding humor to the conversation.

Previously, IU had also discussed her views on dating on her own YouTube channel, which garnered significant attention. She stated, "If you truly love someone, you don't need to constantly talk about it. Love is just something that resides in the heart."

Meanwhile, IU has been publicly dating actor Lee Jong-suk since 2022, marking their fourth year together.
