IU Had A Special Reason For Casting Actor Lee Jongwon In Her “Strawberry Moon” Music Video, And It Was Enough To Make Him Blush
“It was a sign…”
IU recently cemented her status as a legendary K-Pop after releasing her latest track called “Strawberry Moon.” With its special message, even shown in the smallest details, and romantic story, it has really proved that there everything IU does is iconic!
One thing that fans noticed in the music video was the appearance of a very handsome actor alongside IU in the video. Although he might not be instantly recognizable, Lee Jongwon has starred in K-Dramas such as Hospital Playlist 2 and The School Nurse Files.
When it comes to choosing co-stars, IU is always perfect at finding the right person, and this time was no different. Yet, unlike other music videos, the need to cast Lee Jongwon was all down to her personal preference.
IU recently released some footage from the music video where she took fans through the process of filming and even some TMI. In particular, she shared just how Lee Jongwon was picked, and he seemed curious to hear why. With Lee Jongwon listening closely, IU explained that she had a lot of recommendations from people on who she should pick, and one of them was Jongwon.
People talked a lot about Jangwon, so I looked him up, and I found a beautiful male person. So, I thought, ‘He’s perfect. He’s like a strawberry moon.’
— IU
If that wasn’t enough to make Jongwon feel flustered, IU then made him show the fans his eyes, and it is no surprise why she picked him because he is definitely a grade A visual.
IU then added that, after seeing his visuals and how well his eyes seemed to fit with the concept of the video, she called him straight away to make sure he was cast for the track.
She even shared her relief that he was free on that day as Jongwon apparently had a very busy schedule. It was fate that Jongwon was free on that specific day!
There is no denying that the two look amazing together, and it was definitely the right choice from IU! With more eyes on Jongwon, hopefully, fans will get to see more of him as he definitely has superstar material!

IU puts the "A" in "Adorable." We already know she has a baby-face, but with a beanie, she goes back in time and returns as her 15-year-old self. Her taste in beanies is just as adorable, ranging from the monster-ear beanie (far right) to the beanie with a huge fluff ball placed on top.

KBS 2TV's 'Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook' had a Jeju Acoustic Festival (JAF) special on September 13, featuring singers John Park and IU, who saw each other again for the first time in a long time!
IU said, "I like acoustic music with its simple composition. I think there's a high level of concentration," and performed an acoustic song with her soothing vocals. When asked if there was anything that came to mind in relation to Jeju Island, IU said, "I like Jeju Island's hallabong the best (a type of clementine). Its sweet taste is the best."
This cued John Park to appear holding a Jeju Island hallabong. He said, "It has been a while since I saw IU since a guest appearance at a concert. Today, she gives off a mature and womanly feel."

IU went for a simple girl-next-door look. She paired the blouse with peach colored shorts and a bright color block shoulder bag. She opted for natural make-up and "apple hair" with loose curls. Na-Eun went in a different direction when styling the blouse. She wore the piece with a white high-waist flared skirt with black polka dots. She, too, went for a natural look with light make-up and loose curls.
IU's outfit was perfect for her role as Soon Shin. However, I think Na-Eun really shined in this outfit. I love that she ran away with the feminine look. The skirt perfectly balances out the attention from the bare shoulders and ruffled sleeves on the blouse.
But in the end both ladies looked beautiful!
