T-ARA‘s Jiyeon wed baseball player Hwang Jae Gyun in a private ceremony in Seoul on December 10, 2022. It was previously reported that IU would be singing the congratulatory song. It is custom that married couples be sent off with a song, and Jiyeon’s longtime bestie, IU, had to do it.
She went with “Blueming”, an unconventional pick! Usually, the song sung is a ballad or a more dulcet one, but IU chose “Blueming” for the most touching reason. Jiyeon had requested a more upbeat song, and IU did her best to deliver.
Jiyeon asked IU to sing a bright song as much as possible bc she didn’t want to cry & requested her to dance so IU picked Blueming🌹
Jieun: “She’s a friend who doesn’t like crying so I’d be very grateful if you make her smile a lot. Be happy, Jiddong-ah.”https://t.co/K7hj61BhjV

She had a requested song for today. She didn’t want to cry too much today and asked for the most cheerful song possible. So, I chose “Blueming” and she requested for me to sing it as if I was dancing. I don’t know if it will be appropriate for this occasion, but I’ll do my best to sing it as best for a wedding as possible. The two of them look so good together, and I thank them for inviting me to such a gorgeous wedding. Jiyeon doesn’t like crying, so I hope my brother-in-law will only give her happy days. Be happy, Ji-poop. I’ll sing “Blueming” now.

The most supportive friend indeed. IU made sure to take many photos of the bride. Check out her little waves as she films the entire walk.
