Yet, one moment definitely stood out during the event, and it was during the show’s actual premiere. IU actually is known to be a certified “hater” of aegyo, although she is aegyo personified!
Well, during the premiere, IU seemed to embrace her role as an idol and when the camera panned on her at one point, she busted out an iconic aegyo heart for the world to see.

In an interview, IU has recently revealed her thoughts on that moment. Although netizens seemed obsessed with it, it seems like the case couldn’t be said for IU, who had very different thoughts on the adorable moment. In particular, the idol revealed that it was something she regrets a lot, especially when watching it back.
It’s a moment I’ve regretted a lot. Even when I look back at it, I look like an idiot. It’s really hectic and a large camera zooms in on you. So I didn’t know what expression to have, it was a mistake.

IU then explained that it was an instinctive action because of her idol training. Although she revealed she is embarrassed about the moment, even she realized how popular it was with fans and even mentioned the number of memes there are.
Because I am an idol, I was taught not to have a ‘blank take,’ so I attempted a heart. As soon as I did it, I remember being embarrassed. Of course, the fans have made many memes out of the moment.

Even though IU might not have been a fan of the moment, it will definitely go down in history as the idol became the main event at the festival. After that aegyo, it seems like IU might not be doing it again any time soon but netizens are glad she did it because it was truly iconic.
