IU’s long love for BIGBANG’s Taeyang
As one of BIGBANG member Taeyang’s biggest fans, there was no way IU could control her inner fangirl when she finally got the chance to speak to him over the phone during this 2010 episode of “Heroes.”
But no one could prepare IU for when Taeyang actually stepped onto the set and complimented her music. IU was a complete ball of nerves next to her favorite artist, and she hid behind a fellow cast member the moment he appeared.
IU’s love for Taeyang is a lengthy one, and it’s had some major high moments that would make every Taeyang fan jealous. Like when she kissed Taeyang on the cheek during a performance of “I Need a Girl,” sang a duet with him at his solo concert, and even got an impromptu hug from Taeyang during an episode of “Inkigayo.”
Ailee’s surprise phone convo with Taeyang
IU’s not the only Taeyang fan, though. Ailee is a huge fan of him as well. During her 2014 guest appearance on “Yoo Hee Yeol’s Sketchbook,” the powerhouse singer even covered Taeyang’s “This Ain’t it” and shyly revealed her desire to obtain a signed album from the BIGBANG artist. But Yoo Hee Yeol surprised Ailee with more than just an autographed album – she also got an actual phone conversation with Taeyang himself.
Listen to Ailee’s full conversation with Taeyang below.

So, when Taeyeon teamed up with fellow Girls’ Generation member Seohyun to send Sungyeol a personal video message of support on “Law of the Jungle,” Sungyeol couldn’t stop blushing.
Sungyeol turning into a complete fanboy when Taeyeon finally noticed him is definitely all of us when it comes to our faves, and it was even more adorable seeing how hard he smiled throughout the whole thing.
