It's not completely obvious, but IU was once an honorable high ranking South Korean law enforcement officer in the police force!

She participated in numerous events and gatherings to try and stop bullying and harassment as well as advertise the 117 Victims of the Crime contact center. An honorary event of company advancement was held in her commemoration when she soared to top positions.
Life Safety Commissioner Seo Bum Soo made jokes at the time, "If she is appointed at least once a year, by the time she's 30, she'll be the chief executive! One sentence from IU has much more effect on Korean youth than on police chief speeches."
IU ended up taking her responsibility very sincerely, thanking the Korean police for the prompt advancement and pledging to work much harder in the role.
For two years, she was labeled Senior Police Officer, until November 5, 2016. All through her period as a public servant, she had done so much good in society, increasing social relations and promotes social protection.
