IU Ends Rumors of a '9-Year Feud' with Lee Hyo-ri..."I Watched 'A Fox-y' and Cried—Watched the Drama Live" [X's Issue]

(Xports News reporter Yoon Hyun-ji) IU put an end to the nine-year feud rumors by appearing on Lee Sang-soon's radio show.

On the 8th, IU appeared as a guest on MBC FM4U's 'A Perfect Day, This is Lee Sang-soon' (hereafter 'A Perfect Day').

DJ Lee Sang-soon greeted IU by saying, "It's really been a long time since we've met. We still sometimes talk on the phone and have worked together, but we've both been busy," adding, "It's been quite a while since we came to Seoul, but we've both been busy. Still, it's nice to meet again on this occasion."

IU also mentioned their past connection, saying, "When I came here today and thought I could meet the owner, I naturally decided to appear without even one second of hesitation."

That day, IU promoted the upcoming broadcast of MBC drama 'The 21st Century Grand Prince's Wife.'

Lee Sang-soon also mentioned Lee Hyori, saying, "Last time, I watched 'Ppoongppak Soksatda' with IU and Park Bo-gum, and I shed so many tears. My wife and I cried a lot while talking about 'Ppoongppak Soksatda.' I watched it very enjoyably. So I'm also looking forward to this new work."

When IU asked, "Then would you be willing to watch it?" Lee Sang-soon answered, "Of course."

IU then asked back, "It airs on April 10 and 11 at 9 p.m. This week only, it airs at 9:40. You promised to watch it, right? Because I know you go to bed early." Lee Sang-soon joked, "We go to sleep around 9:20. Weekends are an exception. We have to keep up with it."

Previously, IU formed a connection with Lee Hyori and Lee Sang-soon through JTBC's 'Hyori's Homestay.' However, after the broadcast, news that the SNS follow was cut off led to feud rumors.

In addition, IU invited the cast members from 'Hyori's Homestay' to her concert, but Lee Hyori did not attend, and IU also did not appear on 'Lee Hyori's Red Carpet,' which Lee Hyori hosted, further deepening the suspicions.

However, last year Lee Hyori appeared on the YouTube variety show 'Pinggyego' and directly mentioned the names Hong Hyun-hee, Jaeisun, Yoo Jae-suk, and IU, saying, "There aren't many people who look after our couple with an unchanging heart," and "Even so, the people who do are Hong Hyun-hee, Jaeisun, Yoo Jae-suk, and IU," which helped calm the feud rumors.

Then, with IU's appearance on Lee Sang-soon's radio show being announced, attention focused even more on the relationship among the three.

Netizens reacted with comments such as, "It's nice to see such a long-standing connection," "The feud rumors are just talk from others," and "We should see whether they watch the drama live."
