In the July 7th episode of SBS "Healing Camp," IU shared her hardships and trials in her family life before her debut.
In an all-out interview, she frankly revealed that there was a great strain put on her at an early age when pressures financially resulted to difficult times for her family.
She stated, “My father’s business project failed, and it meant that various members of my family ended up living in different places.”
The singer was reminded that her reaction to a traumatic occasion when her mother asked her if she would prefer to live with her, or to go to stay with her father. “I told her I’d rather live alone than live with her,” IU said. “And it’s something I regret saying to this very day.”
IU got to debut in a musical at the age of 15, when she released the mini album “Growing Up.” The singer is featured on a track for g.o.d’s comeback album, “Chapter 8.”
