Composer Yoo Jae Hwan was a guest on MBC FM4U’s “Kim Shin Young’s Hope Song at Noon” which aired on October 6.

On the radio show, Yoo Jae Hwan described his experience being a guest on variety show “Radio Star.” He explained that he was extremely nervous and felt like his heart was going to burst.

“I felt like I was having a panic attack,” described Yoo Jae Hwan, “Park Na Rae spoke very well on the show and that made me even more nervous. I had no idea how I would be able to answer any questions.”

He further stated, “Recently, I was a guest on Sunny’s radio show and she made it very comfortable for me. I was very touched when she asked me to be friends first since our ages are similar. We exchanged numbers and contact each other frequently. It felt weird to be able to call someone from Girls’ Generation, though.”

Kim Shin Young then asked, “You had stated that IU was your ideal type on ‘Infinity Challenge’. Between Sunny and IU, who do you like better?”

Flustered by the difficult question, Yoo Jae Hwan cautiously ended up choosing Sunny.

“I contact Sunny more often. Therefore, I am more comfortable with her than IU,” he explained.

On another note, Yoo Jae Hwan recently released the song, ‘Coffee’, featuring Kim Ye Rim. The song was composed by Park Myung Soo and is drawing a lot of popularity right now. Make sure to take a listen!

IU revealed that she actually hates filming for music videos. At the showcase for her fourth mini album 'CHAT-SHIRE' on October 23, the singer met with fans around her age and discussed the making of her album.

After performing her title song "Twenty-three", IU shared, "Personally, I hate filming for music videos. It's such a hard thing to do. Filming for commercials is difficult, but there's a goal there. The point is to sell a lot of a product. However, an MV is just for me, which makes it hard."

She added, "This MV was the first time I had fun filming... It was really fun. It ended with one shot."
