Singer and actress IU drew attention for her caring gestures toward Lee Sang-soon and Lee Hyori as a couple.
On the 21st, a video titled "IU, the Human Cherry Blossom of Wanharu Appears. Radio Behind-the-Scenes with Oh Raen-man-e (President)" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Idol Radio Universe'.
The released video featured IU as a guest on "Perfect Day, I am Lee Sang-soon." Upon seeing IU, Lee Sang-soon warmly embraced her, saying, "Oh my, it's been a while." The two first met in 2017 on the JTBC variety show "Hyori's Homestay."
IU then said, "Have it with your sister. It's a treat," showing care for Lee Hyori as well, creating a heartwarming moment. In response, Lee Sang-soon also gifted IU chocolate, asking, "Do you still eat sweet things these days?"

Previously, IU, Lee Sang-soon, and Lee Hyori as a couple received widespread affection for their unique chemistry on "Hyori's Homestay." However, after the broadcast, baseless rumors of discord emerged, citing reasons such as Lee Hyori not being invited to IU's concerts and the lack of further interaction between them.
Especially, IU's rumored discord with Lee Hyori spread further after she was photographed on a private date with Girls' Generation's Yoona, who had appeared alongside her in Season 2 of "Hyori's Homestay." However, Lee Hyori dispelled the rumors last year when she mentioned IU on the YouTube channel "Excuse Me."
At that time, while discussing gifts, Lee Hyori said, "There are people who take care of me, like Yoo Jae-suk oppa and IU, and a few others. I am so grateful. Even if it's something small, I am truly thankful," revealing their unchanged friendship.
