IU, finally ends the “9-year feud rumor” with Lee Hyo-ri…“I watched ‘폭싹’ and cried; I watched the drama live” [E’ s Issue]

(Xports News, Reporter Yoon Hyun-ji) IU appeared on Lee Sang-soon's radio program, putting an end to the 9-year breakup rumors.

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

DJ Lee Sang-soon greeted IU, saying, "It's been such a long time since we last met. We also sometimes talk on the phone and worked together, but we were both busy," adding, "It's been quite a while since we came to Seoul, but we were both busy. Still, I'm glad to meet again on such an occasion."

IU also mentioned their past connection, saying, "When I came here today and thought that I could meet the boss, I decided to appear without any hesitation, not even one second of concern."

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

Lee Sang-soon also mentioned Lee Hyo-ri, saying, "Last time I watched 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' with IU and Park Bo-gum, I shed so many tears. My wife and I cried a lot while talking about 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' and then talked about it again while crying. I enjoyed it so much. So I am looking forward to this new work as well."

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

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

Previously, IU appeared on JTBC's 'Hyori's Homestay' and formed a connection with Lee Hyo-ri and Lee Sang-soon. However, after the broadcast, rumors of a rift emerged when it became known that they unfollowed each other on social media.

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

However, last year Lee Hyo-ri appeared on the YouTube web variety show 'Pinggyego' and directly mentioned names, saying, "There are not many people who take care of our couple with an unchanging heart," adding, "Nevertheless, the people who look out for us are Hong Hyun-hee, Jesse, Yoo Jae-suk, and IU," which calmed the breakup rumors.

Then, as IU's appearance on Lee Sang-soon's radio show was announced, greater attention was drawn to the relationship between the three.

Netizens responded with comments such as, "It's nice to see such a long-standing connection," "The breakup rumors are nonsense," and "We'll have to see whether they watch the drama live."
