In the beginning of the month, IU was spotted tearing up as she saw her fans for the first time in years since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
At that time, she said hi and thanked fans before she left in her van following an awards ceremony.
As she was speaking to them, her eyes were seen watering up.

They claimed that her eyes looked all watery because she yawned.
This video of IU went viral online, and it finally reached IU recently.

IU first said, "Who said that I didn't cry, but actually yawned? Come here right now!"
Then a few minutes later, IU once again emphasized that she did not yawn then.
She stated, "Seriously though. I know that I don't cry often, but do you really think it's possible that I yawned at that point? Gosh...!"
Her adorable response made fans smile and laugh; their comments included, "How cute!", "Let's not tease her anymore, guys!", "So cute. She truly makes me happy." and so on.
