Previously on Hangout With Yoo, IU revealed how her brother preferred not to tell people that his older sister was K-Pop soloist IU, trusting only a few friends with this secret.

My brother kept it a secret that I was his sister for the longest time. Aside from 4-5 close people, he didn’t tell anyone.

As he was very upset with her, IU then ended the video by making a public apology to her brother, hoping it’ll appease him a little bit!

I’m sorry about what happened. I’m sorry for talking about you going to the military on Hangout With Yoo. Everyone is recognizing who he is now.
