On the most recent episode of SBS ‘K-Pop Star’, Yang Hyun Seok surprised Park Jin Young with his unexpected singing.

The 2nd round ‘Ranking Audition’ took place and contestant Lee Da Young chose to sing 2NE1’s ‘Lonely’. She wasn’t able to find the right pitch from the beginning of the song, so as a result, her tone was off and her overall performance was a bit unstable. So, to show her an example, Yang Hyun Seok personally sang the first verse.

Surprised with what Yang Hyun Seok was doing, Park Jin Young looked directly at Yang Hyun Seok with a shocked look on his face.

Yang Hyun Seok then said, “’Lonely’ is a difficult song to sing. It’s even difficult for Mr. Park Jin Young to sing while playing the keyboard.”

Different from her usual, always cute and adorable appearance, a photo of singer IU looking like a rebellious student has caught fans’ attentions.

On January 7th, a photo was uploaded on a community site with the caption, “IU looking rebellious at school“.

In the photo, IU is seen in a classroom surrounded by her friends. Maybe because she had a broadcast that day, but she is seen wearing thick makeup with her school uniform which made her look like a delinquent student.

Netizens were especially talkative about the lollipop stick hanging out of IU’s mouth, which almost appeared as if she was smoking a cigarette.

After viewing the photo, Netizens commented, “Nation’s little sister IU, you look adorable no matter what you do“, “Rebellious student IU is so funny“, and “Rebellious IU, that’s too much“.
