IU probably wrote “Dear My Friend” to cheer Jiyeon up during “bullying” scandal

IU was on radio for Melon AzTalk yesterday, and during the show she sung a bit of an unreleased song called “Dear My Friend” from a while ago that was dedicated to a friend of hers.

It wasn’t too long before IU’s stans dug through the archive of the entire Internet to find out who this could possibly be about, and it turns out it was probably about T-ara‘s Jiyeon and was written during the time the “bullying” scandal was going on.
