Viewers of MBC’s Lunar New Year special, “Idol Star Athletics & Swimming Championships,” noticed that singer IU was not present during the program’s matches, and began wondering where she had disappeared to after taking the athlete’s oath誓詞.

A representative of MBC spoke through Newsen on February 7th and revealed, “IU took the oath alongside Nichkhun and Kim Dong Wan, but she was not able to participate in the matches.”

IU was put on the same team as Big Bang’s Seungri, but due to the heavy snowfall that day, recordings were delayed, forcing IU to leave the set hurriedly for her ”Dream High” schedule.

The representative continued, “If she did not take the oath as a representative of the athletes, she would not have participated in the matches at all. Her drama schedule is quite rigorous, so there were talks of her just briefly stopping by before leaving beforehand.”

2PM’s Taecyeon, Wooyoung, miss A’s Suzy, and T-ara’s Eunjung were also absent from the program due to “Dream High” as well.

Singer IU was given a unique opportunity to guest-perform for Corinne Bailey Rae’s first Korean concert! For those of you who aren’t familiar with Corinne Bailey Rae’s work, she’s a phenomenal singer/songwriter/guitarist, whose work leans toward contemporary jazz and soul.

Going back to IU, the young star revealed that she was delighted to perform for the British musician, simply because Corinne Bailey Rae is her personal role model. “As a dedicated fan, I am very excited to be on the same stage with her,” said IU. “It is an honor.”

The two previously met at the Jisan Rock Festival, which IU attended for a recording of “Infinity Challenge“. At the festival, the two exchanged greetings, which eventually lead to Corinne Bailey Rae inviting IU to be a special guest in her upcoming concert.

Corinne heard IU sing and complimented her with,“She is young but the soul in her singing voice is outstanding.” The concert will be held at AX Korea on March 10th.

IU’s English skills were revealed on the latest episode of “Heroes“. On this particular episode, the singer transforms into a hotelier, and tries her hand at leading the foreign hotel guests to their rooms.

While assisting one foreign guest, IU tries her best at explaining the emergency button to him. In a weak and diffident voice, she uses every English word that she can think of, closing her statement with the name of a famous song, “Run To You” by Whitney Houston.

Drawing many laughs for her cute English, she made further use of the song title by saying her goodbyes to the same guest, repeating “Run to you” once again.
