In the clip shown below, IU and her manager are about to board an airplane in Japan, when IU turns around at the repetitive squeals, "Oppa," "OPPA," "Oppa!"
With a smile, IU tells her manager about his doting fans and has him waving back at them. After the chorus of "oppa"-squeals passes, fans resume with calling on IU, which IU returns with a cheerful wave of her own.
IU's manager is so cute and endearing to fans with his good looks and constant meong (indifferent) expressions, it seems that there are times he even steals the spotlight from IU. Nicknamed as the "chipmunk ahjusshi" by some, manager oppa has fans swooning with his Bieber-fluffy hairdo in picture after picture.
Manager oppa also has a close relationship with IU that spawn gif-worthy moments, such as his bodyguard attempts and her shows of aegyo.

Apparently, her little brother doesn't care if his older sister is one of the biggest names in Korean entertainment, because he's more bent on ignoring her. IU uploaded screenshots of her conversation with her little brother onto her fancafe, and most of the chat is IU trying to get her brother's attention by texting "Hey" over and over again.
At one point, IU gives up with the string of "Hey"s and says instead, "If you keep ignoring me, I'm going to stop giving you all allowances." Only then he answered, "Why?".
After a few 'conversations', she finally concluded. "Oh, I guess you just don't read my texts anymore."
The conversation amused many fans, who commented, "In the end, they're just normal siblings..", "To him she's just the annoying older sister", and "She's looking out for you!"

The two flaunted their close friendship with a photo together, with IU holding up a placard written “I can’t live without DJ Yoo.” In contrast to IU who seemed to be on the verge of crying, Yoo In-na smiled at the camera, looking happy due to her little friend’s visit.
IU wore an adorable but comfy black hoody with her hair tied back. On the other hand, Yoo In-na donned a more dressed-up look with a feminine blouse and a burgundy cardigan.
Actress Yoo In-na marked the end of her 5-year-long DJ life as of Sunday. She has been replaced by Cho Yoon-hyee.

Move over Taylor Swift's "22," IU is now here with an MV teaser for a new song, "Twenty-three."
However, she doesn't seem all that excited about it... perhaps she's feeling the quarter-life crisis already. In the short teaser, that barely shows even a second of the track, a lovely IU walks to a table with a cake that has candles in the shape of her age, 23.
She then seems awestruck by the taste of the cake before sighing in defeat and planting her face into the cake instead of eating it, making all cake lovers gasp.
Check it out above!

A rep from her agency disclosed to multiple media outlets on December 28, "It is true that IU received an offer to act in 'The Moon's Lover.' She is reviewing it, but she is not yet confirmed."
She has been offered the role of the female lead, who receives the love of not one but nine princes! This will be the Korean version of China's 'Scarlet Heart,' which aired via Hunan TV back in 2011 and follows the story of modern girl Janghyo who goes back in time to the Qing Dynasty. Sounds a bit like 'Splash Splash LOVE,' no?
As there will be nine princes, the stars up to possibility take on a role are currently Lee Jun Ki, Kang Ha Neul, Hong Jong Hyun, Baekhyun, and Nam Joo Hyuk. Lucky girl! Kim Sung Kyun and Ji Soo are confirmed to appear. The drama will air in September next year!
