Park Myung-soo Reflects on the ‘Naengmyeon Incident’ 14 Years Ago, I Apologize To IU Once Again

On July 19th, KBS CoolFM’s “Park Myung-soo’s Radio Show” welcomed guest Jeon Min-ki who discussed various topics from the week.

On that day, Park Myung-soo expressed remorse for the “Naengmyeon incident”that occurred 14 years ago. He has also publicly apologized to IU on television multiple times.

Park Myung-soo and IU’s first encounter occurred when Jessica was unable to join the rock festival of “Infinite Challenge”and sing “Naengmyeon”alongside Park Myung-soo, leading to IU taking her place.

“Reflecting on that time, Park Myung-soo shared, “Jessica, formerly a member of Girls’ Generation, was unable to participate due to her busy personal schedule. In her place, a girl with a guitar appeared. It was none other than IU, who had just debuted at the time.”

The broadcaster recalled, “I asked IU, ‘Who are you?’ and requested, ‘Bring Jessica here’. IU still remembers our conversation and responded by reassuring me that she understood the situation and that it was acceptable.”

Park Myung-soo once again expressed his apologies to IU, stating, “I want to apologize to you once again. I am deeply sorry for any reason. IU, I am truly sorry.”

Despite Park Myung-soo’s inquiry about her identity, IU remained unfazed as she confidently introduced herself as a “new singer.”Her self-assuredness paid off as she went on to garner recognition for her exceptional singing abilities and establish herself as a thriving solo artist. Park Myung-soo has since proudly boasted about his strong bond with IU.
