IU smiled and said, "Because I worked as an idol, I learned that I can't just sit around doing nothing, so I tried to make a heart. As soon as I made a heart, the camera moved to Jo Young's side, thereby becoming a tangled heart. and I was so embarrassed. As expected, my fans made a lot of memes since then".
