Na Moon-hee: OK to Lim Young-woong's Concert, NO to IU's Concert Invitation

Actress Na Moon-hee flatly rejected an invitation to singer and actress IU's concert. When IU expressed disappointment, mentioning that Na Moon-hee had attended Lim Young-woong's concert in the past, Na Moon-hee gave a witty response: "We were still young back then." It seems the concert viewing opportunities that were open to Lim Young-woong hit an unexpected wall for IU. Na Moon-hee's signature honest wit filled the scene with laughter.

On the 14th, a video titled "IU came to Kim Young-ok's house, and even Na Moon-hee is here" was released on actress Kim Young-ok's YouTube channel. On this day, IU visited Kim Young-ok's house with Na Moon-hee, having a special meeting that transcends generations. The three formed a connection through IU's new music video, and in the video, they exchanged conversations comfortably like old friends.

On the 10th of last month, IU released the digital singles "Unknown Planet" and "Dear my crazy soulmate." In particular, "Dear my crazy soulmate" drew attention as it is known to be a song made for her long-time close friend Yoo In-na. In the music video, IU's friendship with Yoo In-na was expressed by comparing it to the relationship between Kim Young-ok and Na Moon-hee. As the image of the two senior actresses who have maintained their friendship for a long time was captured in the work, it recorded 3.6 million views just 22 hours after its release.

The conversation naturally led to IU's future activities. When Kim Young-ok asked, "Do you have any drama plans now?" IU replied that she is currently preparing an album and a concert. She then cautiously expressed her wish to invite the two seniors to her concert if their schedules allowed. Although it was a polite proposal from IU toward the senior actresses, Na Moon-hee's reaction was difficult for anyone to predict.

Na Moon-hee said without hesitation, "Don't invite me." Flustered by the unexpected rejection, IU brought up the fact that the two seniors had attended Lim Young-woong's concert in the past. It was essentially a cute protest, asking, "You went to Lim Young-woong's concert, so why can't you go to mine?" In response to IU's reaction mixed with disappointment, Na Moon-hee shot back, "We were still young back then." It was a joke implying that rather than choosing based on preference for the performance itself, she now has to consider her stamina and age, drawing laughter with the unexpected answer.

Kim Young-ok showed a special affection for attending concerts. She said, "It's true that it's hard because I'm getting older, but they say going to concerts is good for your health. Because it makes you feel good. If I can go, I want to go." She continued to explain the joy felt at concert venues, saying, "When you go to a concert, you get lost in ecstasy. It's so exciting and great." It was a statement that while going out and watching performances may become a burden as one ages, it is hard to give up the joy provided by the stage of a favorite singer.

The conversation, which started with IU's concert invitation, eventually led to the charm of performances that make one forget their age. The pleasant bickering between the three regarding the experience of attending Lim Young-woong's concert simultaneously showed the honest personalities of the senior actresses who have built long-lasting friendships and the friendly charm of IU. Interest is gathering on whether IU will be able to change Na Moon-hee's mind and meet her at a concert venue next time.
