On December 14, a video of IU and her younger brother Lee Jong-hoon's conversation was uploaded on YouTube.
During their conversation, Lee Jong-hoon worryingly commented, "I think you are a very strong person, but sometimes I worry about you."
He continued, "You work too hard, and I wonder if you are satisfied and happy with your life right now. What is your definition of happiness?"
She continued, "It's never easy to answer questions about happiness, because I feel like if I say that I'm happy, I shouldn't look sad or tired anywhere I go next."
She went on, "So, I don't tend to say that I'm happy to people I don't know. It's all to avoid any misunderstandings."
She added, "I like, and value myself. I can say that I'm looking forward to the future as myself, so I guess I can say that I'm currently happy."
Debuted in 2008 with a track 'Mia', IU quickly became one of the most renowned female soloists in Korea.
