glitteryvLegendary K-pop singer-songwriter and actor IU has her own YouTube channel in which she tends to post vlogs and music videos. IIRC, sometime in 2020, she also started uploading episodes of a talk show called IU's Palette--which she hosts herself.
The show has a casual vibe. It doesn't have a set release schedule (which makes sense cuz IU is BOOKED AND HELLA BUSY), but each episode is (at the v. least) incredibly watchable. The format includes IU and whoever her guests are (sometimes it's solo members, sometimes a full group) chatting abt anything, then a bit of promo talk, and (in between) the guest will sing an IU song, IU will sing a song from the guest(s)'s discography, and there will usually be a duet of sorts as well. Most of the episodes tend to run a tad longer than expected (the average length being around 40-mins.)
As a talk show host, IU radiates a friendly and warm persona that relaxes even the most nervous of the guests. It's pretty lulzy at times (especially when the guest are her peers (in age).)
ANYWAYS, back in July 28, 2022, Hobi appeared as a guest. And, wow, talk abt a DELIGHTFUL EPISODE!!!
IU is really good at being playful in a way that never comes across as pushy. In this episode, frex, she chided Hobi for not inviting her to his listening party. And Hobi had one of those O___O moments that was disarmingly charming. I also liked the moment he tried to teach v. simple steps to IU. Cuz IU's talents do not extend to dancing. Which is fine! She's a great singer, songwriter, and actor! But she does not have sense of rhythm. At least of the type that would make her a decent dancer, frex.
ANYWAYS, it's just a cute interview all in all.
Fast-forward to April 10 of this year...and we get an episode featuring Yoongi!!!!!
One thing that was v. clear from the start was how casual Yoongi was from the get go. He volleyed a lot of the sweetly mischievous vibe IU had back to her. It helps that not only are they the same age (so they address each other w/o honorifics OR have to keep in mind to be more respectful than usual, frex), but that they've been friends for years.
Yoongi was also more candid than even I expected abt his solo album's songs, the way he saw himself as a solo artist vs. a member of BTS, etc. It's an insightful episode for sure.
