On December 10, 2022, Jiyeon of T-ARA married baseball player Hwang Jae Gyun in a private ceremony in Seoul.

It was said before that IU would be singing the congratulations song. By tradition, newlyweds are sent off with a song, and Jiyeon's best friend IU had to sing for them.

She chose "Blueming," which was an unusual choice. Most of the time, the song sung is a ballad or a song with a sweeter sound, but IU chose "Blueming" because it is the most touching. Jiyeon had asked for a happier song, and IU did her best to give it to her.

IU told, "She was asked to sing a song today. She didn't want to cry too much today, so she asked for the happiest song she could find. So, I picked "Blueming," and she told me to sing it like I was dancing ".

She said, "I don't know if it's right for this event, but I'll do my best to sing it in a way that works for a wedding. I'm glad they asked me to their beautiful wedding because they look so good together. Jiyeon doesn't like to cry, so I hope that my brother-in-law gives her only happy times. Be happy, Ji-poop. I'll sing "Blueming" now ".

The audience cheered loudly as IU sang "Blueming" perfectly. She even asked the crowd to give her some screams.

The most helpful friend, indeed. IU made sure to get many photos of the bride. Watch her little waves as she records the whole walk. IU also danced to Hwang Jae Gyun's version of T-ARA's "Roly Poly" in the cutest moment.

Lastly, here's a look at what IU wore to the wedding. She wore a tweed co-ord that was simple but stylish. IU was there with her well-known bodyguard.

Congratulations to the couple!

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
