IU says, “I’ve been to karaoke with my dad since kindergarten”

Singer IU revealed that her parents had a unique way of raising her.

In a recent shooting for KBS 2’s Kim Seung Woo’s Seung Seung Jang Gu, IU said, “It was my dad who developed my talent in singing.” Looking back on her past, she added, “I’ve been to karaoke with my dad since kindergarten, so I heard and came to know a lot of songs from the past.”

“My parents never hit me when I did something wrong. Instead, they gave me a thick book and told me to read it for punishment. I got into a habit of reading since then.”

Also, IU drew attention by talking about an entertainment agency which swindled her before the debut.
