OSEN DB.IU and Yoo In-na’s Unbreakable 16-Year Friendship
The legendary IU Yoo In-na friendship continues to capture the hearts of fans worldwide as South Korea’s ultimate celebrity soulmates showcase their unwavering bond through music. On September 10, 2026, singer-songwriter IU released her new digital single album featuring the tracks ‘From This Star’ and ‘Dear my crazy soulmate’, serving as pre-release singles for her upcoming 6th full-length album. While ‘From This Star’ swept major domestic music charts like Melon HOT 100, Genie, and Bugs, as well as topping iTunes charts globally, the touching track ‘Dear my crazy soulmate’ drew massive attention for being a dedicated tribute to her best friend, actress Yoo In-na.
A Heartfelt Tribute Written in the Stars
In the music platform credits, IU explicitly dedicated the song to Yoo In-na, filling the lyrics with personal memories and affectionate inside jokes. The heartfelt lyrics feature lines like, “You confess your weirdness again today and ask if I’m disappointed, but in front of me, you can be weird for the rest of your life, which is why I like you even more,” and express a dream of growing old together as two quirky grandmothers. Their connection first blossomed in 2010 on the SBS variety show ‘Heroes’ and deepened when they played sisters in the 2013 KBS 2TV drama ‘You Are the Best!’, bridging an 11-year age gap to become entertainment industry best friends. Over the past 16 years, the two have continuously inspired each other artistically, cementing a friendship that truly embodies the purest form of love.
