IU Talks About Her Chemistry With Park Seo Joon In "Dream," Lee Jong Suk's Support, And More
IU has dished on her relationship honestly and cheerfully like her character in “Dream”!
Created by director Lee Byung Hun of “Extreme Job” and “Melo is My Nature,” “Dream” tells the story of a group of people playing soccer for the first time for the Homeless World Cup. Park Seo Joon stars as Yoon Hong Dae, a professional soccer player on disciplinary probation who becomes the coach of the ragtag soccer team, while IU plays producing director Lee So Min who is making a documentary about the team.
Ahead of the release of the film “Dream,” IU joined an interview and talked about various topics regarding her film.
IU said, “It was about four years ago when I first received the script. At that time, I had a strong thirst for [taking on] a bright character because I had done a few dark characters with lots of backstories in a row. I couldn’t help but be attracted to the character So Min.”
Regarding her chemistry with co-star Park Seo Joon, IU remarked, “I had high expectations for filming together [with Park Seo Joon]. Park Seo Joon is a flexible and quick-witted actor. We started filming with some nervousness without having talked much in private, but it was rather comfortable once filming started. Since the relationship between So Min and Hong Dae is not so good, I think a little bit of nervousness helped.”
IU added, “When it was possible to get close [with Park Seo Joon], [filming] got interrupted repeatedly due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, so we couldn’t get much closer personally.”
Toward the end of the interview, IU was asked about her boyfriend Lee Jong Suk. Recently, photos of Lee Jong Suk wearing IU’s fan merchandise and promoting her activities as her boyfriend drew great attention from fans. Regarding the goods, IU explained, “He came to the concert, and those items are what we distributed to all those who came to the concert. It wasn’t a special gift for Lee Jong Suk or anything, but it got a lot of spotlight.”
IU shyly said, “I’m surprised that [so many people] show interest in my relationship and cheer me on a lot. I think fondly and quietly keeping this relationship going is the best way to repay that love.”
“Dream” will hit theaters on April 26. Stay tuned!
