It has been reported that IU will be singing at the wedding of the manager who has looked after her since her debut as a singer in 2008, when she was only in her third year of middle school. This former manager and now director of IU’s agency, 40-year-old Bae Jong Han, will be holding his wedding ceremony this coming July 11.
In the midst of her busy schedule, especially following the wave of love calls due to the popularity of her recently completed drama “Producer,” IU has proven her loyalty once again by gladly making the decision to sing at her manager’s wedding.
According to a music industry insider, IU is known for her strong loyalty, as she has previously collaborated with rookie idol group HIGH4 due to her friendship with one of the members, Sunggu. She also renewed her contract with her current agency, and this is just another common case through which IU has displayed her loyalty to those around her.
