“Appearance makes an impression, but it’s the personality that makes an impact”
#IU
I knew of #IU’s gift as a singer,
I knew of her talent as a songwriter,
I knew of her brilliance as an actor,
But what that finally made me fall for her was her. Just her.
When she went on Hyori Bnb as herself, without all the flair, without any sponsors, without her stylist..
Just her...
Shy, awkward, quiet, a lil slow, with quirky mannerism...yet still oh-so-endearing..
#IU
When the fame, her title as #IU were left behind, what we got in return was the purest form of her, as Jieun, one who spaces out at every opportunity she gets...
The employee who tries her hardest yet falls a lil short, who’s always keen to learn, an earnest worker..
#IU

*Vid ctto
One who loves her chocolates, as much as she loves to read...
#IU
The fashion terrorist, the sleepyhead, the kid who beamed proudly when she succeeded in making rolled eggs..
It was the most ordinary side of her...yet it was incredibly charming..
#IU
It is through the lens of Hyori Bnb that we see her as just Jieun, not #IU. One that runs awkwardly, one that Hyori made fun of, one that laughs at her own awkwardness.

I didn’t see a mega-superstar in Hyori Bnb. All I saw was a grounded & humble person. A slow worker; a slower eater, and one that didn’t seem to mind eating the guest’s leftover, not even a bit...
#IU
Not a singer-songwriter battling insomnia, but a teenager who’s sleeping well, who sleeps soundly...
#IU
A smol bean who always tries her best to help, even if she doesn’t necessarily knows how...
#IU
She formed the most sincere relationships with those whom she crossed paths..
She treated those around her as equals, respected the elders, cheered on those with dreams, and always being so considerate of people around her...
#IU
While she had a therapeutic 2 weeks in Jeju, resting, re-charging,
I was falling for her. For all the small acts of kindness, & even smaller acts/ gestures.
For all the considerations given to others, for her innocence, her clumsiness, her sometimes stubborn character.
#IU
That beyond her persona as #IU the singer, the superstar, the producer, and the actor, we have Jieun who’s quiet, introverted & unpresumptuous.
A beautiful soul.
That’s what made her so precious.
