In a recent episode of MBC's 'Radio Star', singer and actress BIBI shared some interesting anecdotes about her journey in the entertainment industry and her interaction with actor Song Joong Ki.

BIBI, who has been in the industry for about four years, has made significant strides in both her music and acting careers.

Her accomplishments didn't go unnoticed by host Kim Gu Ra, who acknowledged her impressive achievements, including her film's selection for the Cannes Film Festival.

BIBI confirmed, "Yes, my film 'Hopeless' was featured in the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival. It was my first time attending any film festival."

The conversation then shifted to her experience working with Song Joong Ki, the lead actor of 'Hopeless'. BIBI had nothing but praise for him, stating, "He was fantastic."

She then revealed a surprising gesture from Song Joong Ki. "He bought me a new phone. It was the latest model at the time," she said.

Kim Gu Ra, taken aback, asked, "A new phone? Were you using an outdated phone? It's unusual for someone to gift a phone to a colleague, considering most people already have decent phones."

BIBI clarified, laughing, "No, I wasn't using an old phone. Another 'Hopeless' actor, Hong Xa Bin, also received the same phone from Song Joong Ki."

She then shared the backstory, "During a break in shooting, I was browsing my phone and casually mentioned, 'Oh, this new phone is coming out soon!' Song Joong Ki overheard me and immediately said, 'Order it!'"

She added, "Soon after, Song Joong Ki transferred the exact amount needed for the phone to my bank account."

The hosts and other guests were amazed by Song Joong Ki's generous and spontaneous gesture, praising him for his thoughtfulness.

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
