In the released photos, Kim Tae-yeon stands shoulder to shoulder with IU, smiling brightly. IU also looked affectionately at her younger junior, making a cheek heart and creating a warm atmosphere. Kim Tae-yeon's mother expressed her gratitude, saying, "It was so nice and nerve-wracking to meet sister that Tae-yeon teared up throughout the performance… It was truly a happy time!"
IU and Kim Tae-yeon formed a special bond while respectively portraying young Ae-sun and child Ae-sun in the Netflix series When Life Gives You Tangerines. The meeting of the two actors who together depicted one character in the work held deep meaning for fans. Kim Tae-yeon also revealed sincere fandom, saying, "Sister, you were really amazing. You're so pretty. I love you, sister IU."
IU held the fan meeting *'2025 IU FAN MEET-UP [Bye, Summer]'* at Seoul KSPO DOME on the 13th and 14th, meeting about 20,000 fans over two days. She added warmth by showing genuine "IU-style good deeds" through warm exchanges with her juniors, not just on stage.
Meanwhile, IU is scheduled to return to the small screen next year through MBC's new drama *"21st Century Dae-gun Mama."*
