Comedian and TV host Park Myung Soo recently bragged about how close he actually is to singer IU.
On the latest episode of MBC’s C-Radio program “Idols’ True Colors”, which is hosted by miss A’s Fei and Jia together with Super Junior’s Zhoumi, Park Myung Soo said, "IU and I are close, but we barely contact each other. We're friendly, but it's not like I can call her and ask, 'What are you up to? Do you want to get something to eat?'"
Through the radio show’s producers, IU relayed a comment, "Park Myung Soo is youthful. He talks about how much fun he has composing and laughs brightly, and I feel youth from him,” Park Myung Soo, touched by IU’s statement, said, We did a program together, and for Chuseok, IU gave me a full set of ginseng. As an idol definitely, but the fact that she thought of her sunbae like that made me thankful."
He added, "After three months, I sent IU a text message saying, 'You haven't contacted me at all lately. IU, I ran out of ginseng.' IU responded jokingly, 'Oppa, if you don't ask me again, I'll text message you.'"
IU and Park Myung Soo previously co-hosted the MBC show “Best Victory Quiz Show Q” in 2012.
