Yet, they never actually got to spend much time together during the shooting of Broker, as most of their scenes were filmed at different times.

According to Lee Joo Young, they finally got the chance to hang out properly when they shared a hotel room on the last day of the Cannes Film Festival, where they got to really talk together. Now they will even be doing promotions together in Japan at the end of the month.

…and it probably won’t surprise fans. IU’s trip to Cannes alone was enough to prove how kindhearted she is, as she proved she’s the queen of fanservice, and even showed how protective she is of her fans, asking her bodyguards not to push fans upon her arrival at Incheon Airport.

오늘 공항에 브로커팀 단체 입국에다 시간도 공지돼서 기자님들도 팬들도 정말 많았는데 아이유웅니..🥺🫶 경호원 분이 안전이랑 길 뚫느라 좀 세게 하셨는지 그렇게 많이 밀지 말라고 하심 ㅜㅜ pic.twitter.com/tFCjQDZRPQ
