IU's Drummer Reveals IU's True Personality Behind The Scenes - And It's Not What You'd Expect At All

Korean superstar IU may look incredibly intimidating when you first see her and check her records.

After all, she’s been a celebrity since she debuted in the year 2008, so IU has achieved idol status for more than a decade now.

A lot of Korean celebrities such as BTS‘s Jungkook, Lee Dong Wook and Jay Park have also stated IU as their ideal type, which is not surprising considering her flawless visuals.

With all these in mind, some people have thought of IU is a non-flattering way because they didn’t know about her true personality.

And what’s the best way to get a glimpse of what a K-Pop idol is truly like? You ask the people who they’re working with, of course!

Take IU’s drummer, Kim Seungho, as an example of someone who’s fairly close to IU.

When Kim Seungho got married, IU attended his wedding and even performed for his guests.

That’s how close their relationship is, which is why when Kim Seungho gave his honest opinion about what IU’s personality is really like, you can bet that his opinion truly comes from his heart.

Fans know that IU writes her own songs, so their songs are taken from IU’s personal experiences or innermost feelings.
