Jong Hyun seemed quite impressed with IU's acting skills and passed on words of encouragement. He told TV Report: "In terms of IU, I listened to her music a lot before I met her. I thought she was very delicate person, and after meeting her my opinion didn't change."
"Because she's someone who does music, she was able to express sensitive feelings well. She was also mature for her age. She looks very small, thin, feminine, and like she'd get tired soon, but she's not like that at all. I don't know if it's because her stamina's good or if she just withstood it, but she has more strength than an average man, " adding that he was right on judging the songstress's skills.
