IU is so cute and pretty.”
Tang Wei further reminisced about a touching moment in the music video where she and IU, portraying a younger version of her mother, share a heartfelt embrace—an expression born from Tang Wei’s improvisation. She confessed, “When IU was looking at me, her eyes contained too many stories. Upon seeing those, I just wanted to hug her right away.” The host commented, “So sweet. You’re guilty,” resulting in Tang Wei humorously replying, “IU’s eyes are guilty.”
Recalling her reasons for the spontaneous action, Tang Wei stated, “I was looking at IU and saw my mom in her. So I went home and looked at all our old pictures. When she was young, her hair was really short and IU’s eyes were very similar to her eyes. Their images overlapped, and I felt that they looked very similar.”
Besides her recent venture into music videos, Tang Wei has been actively involved in the movie industry, with her latest work alongside Suzy and Park Bo-gum in the movie “Wonderland.”
