IU explained that she had been caught by her gym teacher for talking in the middle of class.�For punishment, she was ordered to go up in front of the class and sing.�Unlike what was intended, IU's vocal talent ended up flooring her classmates and teachers alike, and she was offered a chance to sing for the opening of the school's athletics competition.
"I was really nervous, but standing under all of the lights and feeling everyone's gaze towards me felt exhilarating," she explained.
On her escalating fame, she commented, "I'm trying not to focus too much on my popularity and just enjoy what I'm doing."
