"When I was in middle school, I was a huge fan of yours. I visited your homepage often and so on. If I asked you to become friends, I thought you would say yes to my request," DK explained.
Hearing this, IU couldn't help but laugh out loud, and DK added while embarrassed, "I was naive. I thought I could be friends with IU. That was my simple thinking, but I didn't get a reply."
DK then revealed that he had almost 40,000 people sending him friend requests, but not receiving IU's made him "a bit upset."
