There were so many reporters gathered at IU's school during her graduation ceremony that they had to borrow a whole classroom in the end.

The scene at the school during IU's graduation was broadcasted on SBS 'One Night of TV Entertainment' on Feb 15th. There was a whole long line of reporters such that LOEN had to seek consent from the school to borrow a classroom for a moment to hold a press conference. Wearing her graduation cap, IU expressed, "I feel like I've become an adult."

At this moment, reporters from Japan asked IU a question in Japanese, taking her by surprise, but she greeted everyone and introduced herself with simple Japanese, before making her escape from the classroom.

(Note: Another video from youku showed that the Japanese reporter actually asked IU to say a few words to her Japanese fans in Japanese. IU went, "Ah... I didn't expect there to be Japanese reporters here today", then in Japanese, "Good morning. I'm IU." Then she asked the Japanese reporter how to say 'graduation' in Japanese, so that she could continue in Japanese, "I graduated today. Thank you to everyone who came down today. Thank you.")

During the ceremony, she also took many selcas with her friends and gave other kinds of fanservice.

this is the power of " Nation's little sister" . IU is so cute speaking Japanese in the interview clip. AH...aH....ah

IU so cute posing for every photo/selca with a peace sign . Sad that she got to spend her graduation with a bunch of reporters instead of her friends .

I wonder how she answered questions with so many lights flashing at her during the press conference, even i had difficulties watching the video with the amount of flash .

Loved it when how the press conference was going fine until a wild Japanese reporter appeared.
thanks for sharing and translating

Thank you for translating! Oh goodness, there must have been so many people, I'm glad they were able to at least sort of organize them all in one room. Hopefully, she was able to just celebrate with her friends, too--it did look like she had a good time taking selcas with them and stuff. Her reaction to the Japanese reporter was adorable, too. :3
