MC Boom has attempted a mannered back hug for IU.
On December 25th, a photo of IU was uploaded on the official homepage for SBS Power FM “Boom’s Youngstreet“.
In the photo, IU is seen dressed comfortably in a hoodie with a fun, relaxed expression. Her weight loss and distinctive face has attracted her fans’ attentions.
The other thing that caught fans’ attention was that DJ Boom, as if he was conscious of IU’s fans, posed with a ‘mannered back hug’, which caused much laughter. Boom wrapped his arms around IU without actually touching, possibly for fear of her legions of protective fans.
Netizens who visited the homepage left comments such as, “Take care of the nation’s little sister“, “Thank you for inviting IU to Youngstreet“, “Thanks to IU, my eyes and ears are happy“, “I hope that DJ Boom and IU become close friends“.
Meanwhile, IU is currently promoting her 2nd full album ‘Last Fantasy‘ that was released last month. She was also recently voted as the #1 Netizens’ choice for top singer of 2011.
