On March 30, IU attended an event for her upcoming movie “Dream” and once again gained attention for her visuals.
While the idol is always beautiful, netizens pointed out that she looked as if she was aging backward in the latest images. In particular, many joked that IU seemed much younger with her visuals and couldn’t stop praising the star.
In particular, netizens pointed out that along with seemingly putting on weight on her cheeks, the idol had cut her hair short for the first time in a while. Because of this, many thought her face looked rounder and showcased her youthful visuals.
When stood next to co-star Park Seo Joon, IU’s visuals were just as youthful, and combined with her new haircut, it seemed like fans had gone back in time.
When the photos were posted, there were mixed comments from fans. While some believed that IU looked healthier and had gained weight, others didn’t see it, but they all agreed that IU looked much younger and looked extremely good at the event.
