IU covers "Video Killed the Radio Star" on "Radio Star"

On April 6th, singer IU guested on MBC's "Radio Star" and surprised viewers a witty cover of a pop song classic. She introduced "Video Killed the Radio Star" as the song that fostered her dreams of becoming a singer.�IU stated, "In 'Dream High', I played the role of a girl who dreamt of becoming a singer, but couldn't because of her lack of confidence in the way she looked. The song she sang when she lost weight was 'Video Killed the Radio Star.'�While singing it, I realized that even if I wasn't popular, I want to forever be remembered as a 'radio star.'" When asked by MC Kim Gura as to whether she ever criticized herself for the way she looks, she replied, "When I began going in for auditions, I began to realize that my looks weren't up to par."
