IU was moved by a grandfather fan of hers, so she personally invited him to attend the concert.
Recently, an elderly foreigner uploaded a YouTube video of himself reviewing IU's music videos on YouTube. In a video, he introduced himself as ‘Grandpa UAENA’ and wanted to join the official fan club of IU, which is UAENA.
Grandpa’s YouTube account name is ‘Zev Does KDrama’ with the account description of “I love IU and KDramas. This channel is my place to share my thoughts and spread the word.”
In his recent video where he reacted to ‘Shopper’ MV, it caught the attention of many fans and IU. The idol posted a picture of the grandpa and wrote a message for him. IU says that she is glad about the videos he made and wants to make grandpa happy for a long time, then invited him to her upcoming concert in the U.S. IU noted that her company will contact grandpa for the invitation.
This was the video IU noticed:
Many fans were touched by this adorable interaction, making the views of grandpa’s videos rise from time to time.

EDAM Entertainment then proceeded to reach out to Grandpa UAENA by commenting on his videos for the invitation. Funnily, the staff’s comments were continuously filtered so they had to make a new account.

And cheers! EDAM Entertainment successfully acquired Grandpa UAENA’s contact and commented that they would be contacting him soon.
Seemingly, he didn’t see right away IU’s Instagram story, the overwhelming amount of reach his videos got, and even the invitation from the company, so when he found out, he was really shocked!
Congratulations to the successful fan, Grandpa UAENA! His now most recent video is still a reaction video about IU, but this time, it was about the greatest news in his life.
Watch IU 'Shopper' now!
