IU, whose real name is Lee Ji-eun, debuted in 2008 with the album “Lost and Found.” She gained nationwide popularity after the release of her hit single “Good Day” in 2010. Suga, on the other hand, is one of the seven members of BTS, which debuted in 2013. He’s also a songwriter who’s made a name from himself beyond his work with the group.
That's not all for IU, though: She has a lot more in store for her fans!
On April 22, her management team announced that she's set to open an online merchandise shop for her fans, lovingly called the Uaenas. It opened on April 23 to the delight of many.

And of course, IU is set to star in a new movie with Itaewon Class’ Park Seo-joon called Dream.
The two will start filming for this new movie next month, which will be IU’s first commercial film. She shared with W Korea that she’s nervous about it, but we have no doubts that IU will be nothing short of amazing!
In Dream, she will play Lee So-min, a character that IU describes to be “warm” and “caring.”
