IU has revealed the reason why chooses to attend fellow artists' concerts using her own money.
On the 14th, a video titled 'Get ready to meet Team Grand Prince's Wife!' was posted on the Youtube channel TEO.
On this day, Jang Doyeon asked Gong Seungyeon, the older sister of TWICE's Jeongyeon, "Does your sister give you feedback on your work?" to which Gong Seungyeon replied, "Not at all," and added, "She has no choice but to watch 'Perfect Crown.' She's such a huge fan of IU that when she shows off her copies of IU's albums, she tells me not to touch them," causing laughter.
IU also shared her experience attending a TWICE concert. Jang Doyeon noted, "I heard you went to the concert secretly."
IU responded, "I went because I really like TWICE," adding, "Jeongyeon later sent me a DM, but I didn't see it at the time. Seungyeon told me about it on set, so I sent my thanks later on."
Gong Seungyeon explained the situation, saying, "My sister said she wanted to invite IU to her concert, so I told her, 'Do you really think she'll see your DM? She probably gets so many messages.'"
Later, Jang Doyeon mentioned, "I heard that even if you receive invitation tickets, you always choose to pay with your own money to see the show." IU explained, "As a performer myself, watching concerts is a learning experience for me. I prefer to go secretly, watch the entire show, and just enjoy it."
IU also shared, "I've been to TWICE's concerts and also to D.O's concerts. I try to go to as many concerts as possible. It relieves stress and is very healing."
When Gong Seungyeon said, "I heard my sister wanted to give you an invitation ticket, but you already bought them yourself," IU replied, "It's because I really like TWICE," showing her feelings as a fan.
Gong Seungyeon added warmly, "I think that's why this drama became one that my sister will watch from beginning to end, even catching the live broadcasts."
