It’s been rumored that IU experienced an assault by an overzealous fan at actor Seo Ji Suk’s wedding, where she was invited to sing.
After news hit the SNS world, fans went wild with worry, tweeting and posting up a storm. According to a shared account of what occurred, a young male who looked to be in his early 20s suddenly grabbed the mic after IU’s performance and asked her if she’d like to marry him.
