Lee Seung Gi gave IU a branded bracelet, but the Teen Top was disappointed?

On an episode of MBC ‘Section TV Entertainment News’, which was aired on Feb 19th, Lee Seung Gi revealed that the branded bracelet he gifted IU awhile back, “might have caused Teen Top members to be disappointed”, raising questions as to why that may be so.

It was revealed on a recent variety show, that IU received an expensive bracelet from Lee Seung Gi, which became a hot topic. It

turned out that he bought it for IU to thank her for guest performing at his concert.

Lee Seung Gi revealed another behind story today, saying, “Initially, I was going to pay for the presents for the guest performers out of my own pocket, but the total amount stays the same. Therefore, since IU is a solo singer and by herself, she might have felt it was rather expensive, whereas the 6 Teen Top members were probably disappointed.”

IU's graduation ceremony had so many reporters attending they had to borrow a whole classroom

There were so viagra for sale many reporters

gathered at IU’s school during her graduation ceremony that they had to borrow a whole classroom in the end.

The scene at the school during IU’s graduation was broadcasted on SBS ‘One Night of TV Entertainment’ on Feb 15th. There was a whole long line of reporters such that LOEN had to seek consent from the school to borrow a classroom for a moment to hold a press conference. Wearing her graduation cap, IU expressed, “I feel like I’ve become an adult.”

At this moment, reporters from Japan asked IU a question in Japanese, taking her by surprise, but she greeted everyone and introduced herself with simple Japanese, before making her escape from the classroom.

(Note: Another video from Youku showed that the Japanese reporter actually asked IU to say a few words to her Japanese fans in Japanese. IU went, “Ah… I didn’t expect there to be Japanese reporters here today”, then in Japanese, “Good morning. I’m IU.” Then she asked the Japanese reporter how to say ‘graduation’ in Japanese, so that she could continue in Japanese, “I graduated today. Thank you to everyone who came down today. Thank you.”)

During the ceremony, she also took many selcas with her friends and gave other kinds of fanservice.

the items sold within a month after it went to distribution and we immediately received re-orders. We’re definitely seeing the benefits of the ‘IU effect’.”

Singer IU tumbles to the floor….again

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!
