Lee Ji Eun: Singer and actress IU also known as Lee Ji Eun, has announced that she will henceforth use only her stage name IU.

It’s quite confusing
She continued, “I am constantly active as a singer. For example, if I came out as IU in March and then appeared as Lee Ji Eun in May, it might be confusing.” she said.
Meanwhile, IU and Park Seo Joon recalled the moment they first met for ‘Dream’, which had already been filmed three years ago. Park Seo Joon said, “I started filming ‘Dream’ after the drama ‘Itaewon Class’ ended. There were many twists and turns until I met the audience,” he said. I am also worried. I have mixed feelings,” he said.
About the film’s cast
IU said, “I filmed dramas mainly for roles with a lot of stories, but when I thought I wanted to play a role without a story, I was offered ‘Dream’ and I was happy to participate.” Both of them said in unison that they had a lot of expectations for working with each other. Park Seo Joon said, “I’ve always been a fan of IU. I thought it would be nice to have them. It was nice to meet you, it was fun, and it was the best time.
