On 11 March, IU appeared as a guest at the YouTube entertainment show “Salon Drip 2”, hosted by the comedian Jang Do-Yeon. During the show, he shared the updates on his life and discussed his next Netflix series, “When Life DÃ Tangerines”.
While “Salon Drip 2” reached its 81st episode, IU expressed its enthusiasm for the show, saying: “This was the program I wanted to be the most.” He also mentioned that he saw the episode of Park Bo-Gum, adding, “I really liked the episode with Bo-Gum”, showing his admiration for his co-protagonist.
Talking about his role as AE-Soon in “When life gives you mandarins,” he described his character as “Someone with a tender heart but an impertinent and straightforward personality.” He continued, “If AE-Soon existed in real life, I think we would be very intimate friends. He cannot stand injustice and is very simple. I admire the people who are good in their work because you cannot do a good job without considering others. “
He then shot his praise towards Park Bo-Gum, who plays Gwan-Sik in the drama, underlining his remarkable qualities, “Park Bo-Gum is the perfect combination of kindness and competence.” He added with confidence, “If someone worked with Park Bo-Gum and don’t like it, then that person is the problem.” Jang Do-Yeon, clearly in agreement, wondered aloud, “How can anyone have no defects?”
IU continued to highlight the incredible ethics of work and the resistance of Bo-Gum, saying: “First of all, Park Bo-Gum has incredible resistance. At the center of all his kindness is his physical resistance. It doesn’t matter how exhausting things are, I really found myself screaming against him: “Are you not tired?!” But he just replied: “Ji-eun ah, I’m fine. Thanks for being worried about me,” who left me shocked “.
He also shared a story behind the scenes from the filming, remembering a particularly demanding scene, “There was a particularly difficult scene that required many shots. Of course, we were both completely drained. Since it was a complete shot, only bo-gum and I was in the frame, and we both had microphones to capture our voices. “
He continued, “At that moment, I was so exhausted that I couldn’t even speak, but then I heard him whisper,” I could have done better. I’m sorry I can’t give more. Seeing this, I got angry with myself, thinking: “Why don’t I like it?” “
Jang Do-Yeon, amused by the anecdote, jokingly suggested, “Maybe he was thinking:” Ji-Eun Ah, you will talk about it in a show, right? “” Iu laughed in response and clarified, “If it had been someone else, I could have taken it as a joke, but not bo-gum. He even cried when he was in this show, right? “
Iu’s heartfelt admiration for Park Bo-Gum has again highlighted his reputation as one of the most loved and respected actors in the sector.
