IU is also set to embark on her ‘Love, Poem’ Asian concert tour. It hasn’t been clarified if this will be also affected.
The two have been friends for a long time. In August this year, Sulli made her appearance as a special guest in tvN’s “Hotel del Luna”, where IU is the main lead actress, boasting their close friendship. They also worked together as music broadcast MCs. -HallyuLife.com
