Some time ago, IU featured in Gong Yoo's radio show '20:00, the Time that Gong Yoo Always Waits for' (literal translation).
With a shy smile, IU said, "I was quite good at studying. My mom wanted me to become a diplomat, and I actually wanted to become one as well."
She continued, "But my PE teacher said I should try to become a singer. After hearing that, I was like, 'Okay, a singer sounds great. I'm going to become a singer!'"
IU explained, "My mom didn't approve of my decision at first. She really wasn't happy about it. So, I had to keep all my auditions a secret."
She continued, "After a while though, my mom started showing me her support. Later on, she even came to my auditions to cheer me on."
