An agency affiliate said to Daily Sports, “The two went on their own, without any staff. They wanted to do it that way, booking their tickets and everything themselves.”
The source also said, “We don’t know when they will be back. They simply said they would be fine and not to worry.”
Of course, with the way news travels, it was not long before the two were caught on camera. A photo of the two friends popped up on a social networking site, taken in Rome.
Yoo In Na and IU, despite their 11-year age difference, are well known to be best friends, having grown close after meeting on the SBS variety show “Heroes.”

After a short tribute video, looking back on all of IU′s achievements as well as praise from noteworthy artists, like Yoo Hee Yoel, Seo Taiji, and more, IU was honored with The Most Popular Vocalist award.
“First of all, this is my first time coming to MAMA and I was worried that I would be nervous. So I would like to thank all those who told that I would have a good experience by coming here, stated IU in her thank you speech.
"If you search IU now, this award will pop up so I will try hard to become a vocalist who does not make this award embarrassing. I would like to thank all the colleagues and sunbaenims who collaborated with me. I worked with a lot of people this year so next year, I will try to show IU who does well on her own too. Lastly, I would like to thank all the fans. Thank you."
