[TRANS] 190612 IU’s China Fanclub ‘EunKnight’ shares adorable moments and conversation with IU on the filming set of Hotel Del Luna
We were informed that the staff would have their dinner around 6PM, so our members departed at 3PM. Upon arriving at the filming set around 4:30PM, there was a coffee truck right in front of us.
Initially, we thought it was sent by another fansite but the logo was nowhere to be found. So we asked the coffee truck owner and found out it was sent by IU, and we instantly went:
We also noticed a few new unseen photos of IU and took many pictures of them. We wanted to share with other uaenas but the staff told us not to leak it as for now (to prevent spoilers), so we could only...
(feel frustrated)
Since we were kind of late to the set, so we proceeded to pack the 100 gift bags for the staff members while scanning the set from time to time to look out for IU’s arrival.
While waiting for the clock to hit 7, one of the staff PDs saw the gifts we prepared and exclaimed “Daebak (amazing), there are bucket hats too!” while trying out one of it. He took a dozen of it away and told us that he would pass on the remaining hats to staff from other teams.
One of our members then saw a white van coming from afar and wondered if it was IU’s. Turns out if was indeed hers as Hyeseon and Hanteo got down from the car, and closely followed by IU in her tracksuit and mask with no makeup. (looking so smol)
She greeted us first and said she would be right back after putting on her makeup.
While waiting for her, manager Hanteo tried to put on the bucket hat but failed as the size didn’t fit his head. He also greeted us and asked whether we had the coffee (by IU) or not.
Around 7PM, actor Yeo Jin Goo got changed (clothing) and had dinner with most of the staff members. Some of the staff knew we were Chinese fans and expressed their gratitude too.
At last, IU finally came out after the makeover!!! She looked so elegant in her black dress (a bit see-through) and long curly hair. She greeted the staff and headed to the buffet section.
Since there were quite a handy of seats being occupied by the staff, so we waited patiently for them to leave before joining IU for dinner. IU waved her hands passionately and told us to “come quickly!”
(coming coming~~)
Upon finding out that we had yet to take our dinner, she urged us to get some food and join her for dinner. We were taken aback as IU exclaimed “好吃!” (yummy in chinese)
(You’re amazing)
IU tried her best to speak in Chinese since there were two members who didn’t understand Korean. She was worried that we waited her for too long in the cold weather and told us to be careful not to catch a cold (so thoughtful). Even looking at her from such close distance, her face was only this small...
She wore moon-shaped earrings and necklace, and red nail polish. She was so tiny and thin that she could pass being a skeleton (lol)... Her outfit was slightly see through and that made us a tad bit shy...
(S....Shy....)
IU was touched upon seeing the poster made up of pictures of C-uaenas writing “We are with IU” and told us to thank everyone who’s contributed in it.
As IU read through our donation certificate, she told us that she’s impressed by our dedication of donating trees for the past 3 years to help the poor and said she would visit the place one day when she’s free.
We also let her have a look at her 10 years worth schedule book that we had previously compiled as well as the fan made calendar. She flipped through each page thoroughly and gasped at how young she looked back then. She also complimented us for our creativity and thoughtfulness.
IU was fascinated by the tea biscuits that we gave her and did the ‘hammering’ action with her hand and asked whether that’s how the biscuits were made (LOL)
One of our members was preparing the bucket hats for the staff and IU said the hats looked lovely but she couldn’t wear it since she’s got her hair done for the shooting. We reassured her that it’s fine. But when we explained to her that both sides of the hat are usable, she reached out for the hat almost immediately to put it on, but was fortunately stopped by us lol. We told her to wear it next time.
She also told us that the bottle with ‘Hotel Del Luna’ printed on it was so pretty, and would bring it everywhere with her to show it off to her fellow staff members on set (with her arrogant yet dorky face... like this:)
We prepared Fujian (Hokkien) white tea as a gift for the director, but since he wasn’t there yet, so the staff said they would pass it to him on behalf of us later on.
Q. How did you hurt your arm?
IU: (pulls up the sleeves) that’s the scar from a previous injury. I recently caught a cold so I went to get an IV drip. 不要感冒! (don’t catch a cold)
Q. Do you have to shoot all night for today as well?
IU: We’ll probably have to film till late night, but we wouldn’t pull an all-nighter today since we have some scenes to film early in the morning tomorrow.
Q. How do you usually learn Chinese?
IU: Mainly through listening to Chinese songs and translating the lyrics to Korean. Normally, I try learn pronounce the Chinese words based on Korean (pinyins/ romanization)
Uaena: Your mandarin skills are great!
IU: You’re complimenting me for my mandarin???! (SHOOK)
Q. You said ‘新年快乐’ (happy new year) early this year, how did you know that?
IU: I learned it previously and kept it in my mind.
Q. Do you usually enjoy listening to Chinese songs?
IU: These days i’ve been working on preparing my new album so I wouldn’t really listen to other songs. But you can gather some opinions from C-uaenas and let me know which Chinese songs you guys want me to sing~
Q. Will you hold concerts in China this year?
IU: We’ve been trying our best to contact organisers in Beijing and Shanghai, but it’s not as easy as it seems.
Uaena: C-uaenas haven’t seen you in a really long time, so we always attend your domestic and overseas concerts in Seoul, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
IU: I know lots of C-uaenas came to watch my Seoul concert last year. I’ll probably cry or get emotional/teary if I hold concert in China now since I haven’t seen you guys in a really long while.
(looking forward to it)
Though manager Hanteo told IU to get ready for the shoot, IU still took her time and signed for us patiently, her pinyin skills were great (as though a grade 4 student in elementary school)
She let IU TV PD and Hyeseon took pictures of her with the fansupport. She also told us to have some coffee before she left to get ready for the shoot.
“Dear EunKnight ♥ Hao Chi (yummy)!! Thank you very much...♥ I miss you guys Becareful not to catch a cold! ♥♥ From IU Jieun”
Bonus by EunKnight: Since some members don’t understand Korean, so IU told others to translate for them since they seemed very curious about the conversation.
