IU is set to reunite with musician Lee Sang-soon on radio, instantly drawing massive attention.
On the 2nd, MBC Radio FM4U Perfect Day posted a new photo on its official social media account. In the shot, Lee Sang-soon smiles brightly while pointing at IU on a poster for the drama 21st-Century Grand Noblewoman. The caption hinted at IU’s upcoming appearance, ramping up anticipation.
With IU scheduled to guest on the April 8 broadcast, their on-air reunion — and their past connection — is back in the spotlight. The two first met on the JTBC variety show Hyori’s Homestay, where IU joined as a part-time helper and won viewers’ hearts with her effortless chemistry with the couple Lee Sang-soon and Lee Hyori.
The upcoming appearance is also expected to quash lingering rumors of a rift between Lee Hyori and IU. In the past, speculation swirled over social media unfollows and whether they would appear at each other’s shows. However, those rumors spread without clear evidence.
Previously on the web variety show Pinggyego, Lee Hyori said, "Not many people consistently look out for us, and I’m especially grateful to IU," reaffirming their friendship. With IU now joining Lee Sang-soon’s radio show, it naturally underscores that the trio’s bond remains strong.
Fans are hyped to relive their Hyori’s Homestay memories and see the trio’s connection rekindled on air.
