Feb 12, 2012 // Posted by Michelle // Category: News // Leave a comment
Singer IU who is known for being a tad clumsy, but still adorable has once again tumbled on the floor, this time — on a basketball court.
On February 11th, IU attended the ‘2011~2012 KB Kookmin Card Pro Basketball All-Star Game‘ which was held at the Jamsil Stadium. It was a face-off between Seoul Samsung and Wonju Dongbu.
IU who made a special appearance to open the game by shooting the first goal, tumbled on the court on her first try. The singer did appear to be a little embarrassed, but laughed it off in a cute manner. Although she messed up the first time, IU scored on her second try.
This wasn’t the first time the idol has shown her clumsiness. Back in 2011, IU fell on the stage while going to receive her Daesang at the ‘Melon Music Awards‘ in September. Her acceptance speech was a full mix of emotional crying, joy, and embarrassment.
Netizens who saw IU’s tumbling video for the All-Star game commented, “At this rate she will no longer be called the ‘Nation’s little sister’, but the ‘Tumbling Idol‘”, “The way she fell was so cute~“, and “LOL I just love IU <3“.
Check out the action below for yourselves!

IU Gives a Middle School Girl Cheerful Advice
Feb 08, 2012 // Posted by Michelle // Category: News // Leave a comment
IU’s cheerful advice given to a middle school fan is making waves around the internet. On IU’s official fan café “U Ae( Chinese Character for Love) Na” a 15 year old girl wrote about her problems. The girl wrote, “I want to be a robot engineer. However, I am always getting teased for the fact that I make robots. It is hard for me because of the people with prejudice. Should I merely leave my robot making a hobby?”
IU replied by saying, “Wow you are so cool. You have parents to help you at and you seem to have the ability yourself. Aren’t you merely just afraid yourself? Do what you want to do. It seems like that job might cost a lot of money. Try your best while thinking about your parents that trust you! I will cheer you on!”
Netizens that have come across the post stated, “This is probably why IU is loved so much,” “IU knows how to repay the love from fans!” “You can’t dislike her. She is pretty and has common sense,” and IU is a real angel.”

IU’s pictures in Japan resemble ‘gravure’?
Feb 01, 2012 // Posted by Ty // Category: News // Leave a comment
Some photographs of IU in Japan have got fans talking.
On the January 28th, photos of IU in Japan appeared on an online community under a thread titled, “IU in Asakusa, Toori no Still Cut”. The photographs showed a girlish and innocent IU as she enjoyed herself in Japan. In one picture, IU can be seen posing with a sand writing she did saying, “IU desu!” (“I’m IU!”).
Netizens revealed all sorts of different reactions. “Have fun in Japan!”, “I couldn’t tell if this was gravure or not,” and “The more I look at these, the more charming you become”.
[TL Note: Gravure is a popular industry in Japan. It can vary from normal photoshoots, to bikini shoots. Basically, gravure tends to be high quality photos of women that are professionally taken. I can’t really explain it well in English since…gravure is gravure ^^;]
