On December 16, the YouTube channel “IU Official” released a new episode of IU web content “IU’s Palette” titled “Merry TWICE-mas (With TWICE) Ep.30”.
In the video, IU introduced TWICE, “Strangely enough I often meet them in winter. People who are like gifts. People I love. Please welcome TWICE.”
IU expressed her thoughts, “I think it’s been a long time since we last met. If I remember correctly… Strangely enough we often meet in winter. You were a guest at my concert before. It was winter then too. It was winter when we met at the various end-of-year awards ceremonies. I had the chance to meet TWICE again now that it’s winter again. If the timing was a little off, we wouldn’t have been able to meet TWICE as a complete group. Even today it is very precious to me.”
Nayeon recalled her first meeting with IU, “We first debuted with “Like OOH-AHH.” I think the first GAYO DAEJEON was, if I remember correctly, close to COEX. I went to the bathroom and IU, you were washing your hands. You were wearing this off-the-shoulder purple velvet suit. Because I thought I would meet IU after my debut and I met you for the first time there, so I can’t forget it.”
IU recalled her own memory, “I also have memories of some days when I met Nayeon often. The most memorable thing is… Was it the Gaon Chart K-POP Awards? I think so. At that time, Nayeon gave me… I was going to get an award. I think… Flowers, I think it was a sunflower. Yes, you gave it to me.”
Nayeon, feeling shy, replied, “Looking back now, I was so brave.” IU responded warmly: “I had that flower in my car for months. I was so grateful. Every time I got lost and wandered, you also told me, “It’s like this.”“
IU then expressed her deep affection for TWICE, “It’s not just, ‘Oh, TWICE is so cute, and I support them.’ I really love TWICE.“The members responded with mutual affection,”We love you too” AND “This makes our hearts beat.“
During the conversation, Tzuyu suddenly blurted out: “Please go out with me.” Surprised, IU exclaimed: “Excuse me? What did you just say? Who said that?” After realizing that it was Tzuyu, IU laughed and replied: “Oh my God, this is what you call heart pounding.” The moment created a warm and cheerful atmosphere.
Meanwhile, actor Lee Jong-suk and singer IU confirmed their romantic relationship in December 2022. Their agencies stated at the time: “Lee Jong-suk and IU have gone from close colleagues to a romantic relationship and are dating seriously. Please give them your support as they continue their beautiful love story.”
