On April 4th, singer IU guested on the ‘Special Entertainment’ segment of SBS’s “Good Morning“, and talked about her influences in deciding a career in music.

She revealed, “My father really loves singing. I remember always listening to music with my dad growing up, and we’d often visit karaoke together as well. I think that had a lot of influence on me.”

IU also mentioned the deciding factor in her decision to become a star by adding, “In my first year of junior high, one of my teachers suggested that I perform at my school’s athletics competition. Once I stood on that stage, I knew that I wanted to become a singer and formally began looking for auditions then.”

IU confessed that she thought about getting rhinoplasty in the past.

A preview from the upcoming episode of SBS’s “Night By Night” played a clip of IU’s confession as she revealed she even visited a cosmetic surgeon’s office. “My company didn’t want me to get surgery,” she said. “But I wanted to get plastic surgery so I begged them.”

She continued, “I have a small and flat nose, and it’s always been a complex of mine. I asked my company before my debut, and I visited a plastic surgery clinic. They told me that I had such thin skin that if they raised my nose, it would only be raised 1mm. I was disappointed and just came back without getting the procedure.”

IU also talked about her scandal with 2PM’s Wooyoung, her love interest from KBS2TV’s ”Dream High“.

She laughed, “We had an uncomfortable relationship [because of the scandal]. There were rumors that I followed him around because I liked him. I also found out that the 2PM members knew about this rumor, and that’s why they started to view me in a weird way.”

She then added that they got past the awkwardness and became close friends.

Stay tuned for more details when “Night By Night” airs on the 4th!
