Let's all give her a virtual hug!", "I honestly admire your strong will.", and so on. IU's yoga instructor even left a comment, she said, "Ji-eun (IU's real name) said she was scared of water. But she gradually let water flow around her. She acted professionally and even got to the point where she enjoyed being in water. I cannot be happier."
