IU collapsed when her 4 best friends Sulli, Goo Hara, Jonghyun, Lee Sun Kyun left one after another

IU has faced grief four times due to the death of her best friend and brother in the profession. Lee Sun Kyun co-starred with her in "My Mister." Meanwhile, Sulli, Goo Hara and Jonghyun are close friends of the "nation's first love" as singers.

Born in 1993, IU's real name is Lee Ji Eun. She possesses a small figure, a cute round face. Everyone thinks that with such a look, IU must definitely grow up in wealth. However, it is quite the opposite.

In fact, IU had an extremely destitute childhood after her family went bankrupt. The singer at that time had to live with her family in a small room. Because of the huge debt, IU's mother had to send her and her younger brother back to her hometown to live with her grandmother.

While appearing on a show, IU opened up about the small room her family used to stay in after bankruptcy. The singer described it as a cold room, and the family never had enough food to eat. The whole family even lived mainly on the money her grandmother earned from selling hair accessories at the market. Not only that, IU rarely saw or talked to her parents at the time. Because of that, whenever IU feels lonely, she comforts herself that she still has her grandmother.

Despite her gifted singing skills, IU still had to go through a difficult internship. At the age of 14, the singer had to go everywhere on her own in search of competitions. Before becoming as famous as she is now, IU was rejected in 20 competitions big and small. Not only that, the singer has also been tricked out of her savings by some "ghost" companies. She said that usually when some entertainment companies ask interns to pay for their training, it is a scam.

Having encountered difficulties, IU later helped her management company overcome the risk of bankruptcy. After being rejected several times, IU joined LOEN Entertainment. From the song "Good Day" that took the world by storm, IU has become the "nation's sister".

After helping LOEN Entertainment increase 10 billion won (about 170 billion VND) in profit in a year, IU has become the most influential name for this company in nearly 10 years.

Fame always comes with notoriety. Perhaps this is not too strange to the Korean entertainment world in particular and the world in general. The same goes for IU's case. In 2013, IU was involved in the biggest noise of her career. In addition, she faced loss when she repeatedly watched her best friend die.

Recently, actor Lee Sun Kyun died on December 27, 2023, amid police investigation on suspicion of using banned substances. During the actor's funeral, the media did not record IU visiting.

Some sources said IU visited her colleagues late at night, when the media was no longer taking photos. The media paid attention to IU when Lee Sun Kyun died because the two had acted together and had kind words for each other many times.

The nation's first love and Baeksang starred in My Uncle (2018). The drama is about Ji An and his uncle Dong Hoon, two people who have different lives, but what they have in common is living a difficult life in the midst of pragmatic Korean society. Together they overcome the pressure, heal the scars of the past. It was critically well-received, winning Best Drama Series at the 55th Baeksang Arts Awards.

During her promotional interview, IU stated that Lee Sun Kyun is one of the best co-stars she has ever worked with. The actress said she was always grateful to be taught acting by her "uncle" during the filming of My Mister.

Previously, in 2019, two famous idols Sulli and Goo Hara - two close friends IU respectively left the world due to depression. Within a month, IU saw off two close friends. Goo Hara and IU grew close after the music show Inkigayo, while Sulli was close friends who were always present at IU's concerts. The trio then bonded, becoming friends, often posting snapshots together.

During her performance in front of an audience, IU is heartbroken over Sulli's passing. "In the past, you always came to my concerts no matter how busy you were. It's been a month without seeing you, but I don't want to cry. I can't let you see my weak and miserable appearance. I believe that you are here as always and I will perform better than the previous times," IU said during the concert.

The actress also wrote two songs Peach and Red Queen for her ill-fated friend.

In 2017, Jonghyun died at his home for the same reason. During the funeral of the SHINee member, the then 24-year-old burst into tears. She and Jonghyun debuted at the same time.

The singer said she once told the SHINee member to take care of herself and maintain her mental health. But in the end, Jonghyun still chose to be foolish due to a lot of pressure.
