IU dating history: conclusion
In conclusion, I believe IU is a passionate and kind-hearted singer. Fans have often behaved rudely to her. One of the big reasons for getting so much hate was that she was BTS Jungkook’s ideal type.
She is so warm-hearted that she doesn’t get angry when a water bottle is thrown at her face. IU auditioned over 20 times, but she failed all of them.
She also got scammed by fake entertainment companies who took the money, saying they would let her debut. I want her to be happy with a perfect person in the future.
