IU is getting candid about her real dynamic with G-Dragon—and it’s not what fans might have expected.
On the March 27th episode of her YouTube show “IU’s Palette,” G-Dragon joined IU for a playful sit-down. IU kicked things off by asking G-Dragon about something that came up in the pre-interview. “I heard you said things were actually kind of awkward between us?” she asked, smiling.
Caught a little off guard, G-Dragon replied, “No, I mean… haven’t we gotten a lot closer than before?” IU laughed, “That’s how you feel, huh?” G-Dragon nodded, and IU reflected, “I thought the same, because at the time I was 25 and you were 30.”
Trying to clarify, G-Dragon added, “It wasn’t exactly awkward, just…” trailing off before IU jumped in with a grin: “Awkward. It was awkward.” The playful moment got a laugh from both artists, as IU admitted, “Yeah, I found you a little difficult then.”
G-Dragon agreed, saying, “Back then, I didn’t really know how to act around people either. But I recently saw you at the concert, and that was the first time I saw you in a long time, and I think it definitely got better,” referring to her “The Winning” concert in September of last year.
IU echoed that, saying, “It was the first time we met in seven years, but somehow, when we said hi, it just felt natural. Like something had shifted between us.” G-Dragon added, “We haven’t seen each other often over the years, but we’ve known each other a long time, like exchanging New Year greetings.”
