K.Will choosing Yuri over IU because IU has been in two of his MVs while Yuri has only been in one. (*NOTE: The title of the video is inaccurate because the question was not who his 'ideal girl' is, but rather who he would choose between the two of them. The person who uploaded this video is a soshi fan.. which explains why ^^)

수원 팬들, 전반전 끝나도 화장실 못 간 이유
아이유가 10분 넘게 노래를 부르는 탓에 팬들은 화장실도 가지 못하고 자리를 지켰다. 경기 진행 스태프도 넋을 놓고 아이유를 바라봤다.

The reason why Suwon fans couldn't even go to the toilet after the first half of the game
As IU sang for over 10 minutes (during halftime), fans couldn't even go to the toilet and had to stay in their seats. The staff at the game were also mesmerised and staring at IU.

[tk198]

^seems true, I mean why would you bother missing those 10 minutes just to use the bathroom

[starmint]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA yes who would go to the bathroom when they can watch IU sing instead LOL

[jmilardo]

LOL @ the fans XD well i'd probably do the same thing... >< aha who would wanna miss IU sing!?!

IU was attacked by laser while she was singing at Spring Festival of Kyungwon University. Poor IU.

[squishyblob]

She was really steady even with the laser and crowd attacks though Apparently the guy got pummeled for pulling that laser stunt. He deserves it too! rawr!



Also Shayne Orok, one of the Top 5 finalists of MBC Star Auditions, was interviewed today on MBC section tv and he confessed that his ideal type is IU.
