Another heartwarming story about IU, revealed by a former girl group member!

Former FIESTAR member and IU's fellow trainee, Hyemi, recently appeared on a YouTube channel program on the 18th and shared, "I'm currently running a business renting out practice rooms. The space is about 50 pyeong, and we also have a recording studio. Besides that, I rented another space to learn about interior design, but there are more factors to consider than I initially anticipated. The cost was around 100 million won, and my earnings are on par with a regular company employee."

Hyemi said, "IU and I were from the same company, and she even helped me with promotions. During our trainee days, I lived in a dormitory with IU, and it was a really pleasant experience. The dormitory was about 60 to 70 pyeong in size, with marble floors. At that time, IU was also a trainee, and we got along very well."

She continued, "IU didn't save her first paycheck. Instead, she used it to give gifts to those around her, and she even bought me a designer bag. She's a truly loyal friend. IU also gave expensive gifts to others. During our trainee days, we used to wear masks and go to Lotte World together to ride the rides."

Hyemi expressed her thoughts on the girl group FIESTAR, stating that it was a "pity." She said, "We were always busy with numerous activities, but unfortunately, we didn't receive proper compensation. We worked for about 5 years, and I understand that the company needs to surpass the break-even point before we can be paid off. Despite that, they treated me the best, providing me with things I needed for daily living and giving me pocket money every month."
