IU X RIIZE Anton, Childhood Friends to Colleagues

A photo of IU and Anton of RIIZE, known as sisters and brothers who have been friends since childhood, has finally been released.

On the 4th, Anton posted a picture of himself with IU on RIIZE's official social networking service. He said, "I'll always support you, sister! It was nice to meet you as Anton of RIIZE."

In the released photo, Anton was gently putting his hand on IU's shoulder. IU also made a warm hand gesture toward Anton. In addition to the photos of Anton and IU together, a shot with all the members and IU could also be found.

Anton said he will support IU's remaining concerts, hoping that IU, UAENA (IU fandom name), RIIZE, and BREEZE (RIIZE fandom name) will be loved more.

On the 3rd, IU held a solo concert at the Olympic Gymnastics Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul, and RIIZE appeared as a guest on the day.

IU said that they met for the first time since his debut in the entertainment industry as RIIZE. It felt strange but touching to meet Anton, who was short and cute, as a junior." Anton was born in 2004 and is 184 centimeters tall.

The link between IU and Anton is producer and singer Yoon Sang. Yoon Sang is Anton's father, who seems to have connected them. In fact, he is usually known for his close relationship with IU, who often referred to Yoon Sang as her "father." In addition, he wrote "Only I Didn't Know" (2011), which is known as IU's masterpiece.

Anton even mentioned IU on his social networking service when he wasn't a celebrity. Along with a photo of his Louis Vuitton shoes, he wrote, "Walking up to the top of Namsan to eat hamburgers. Thanks for the shoes noona. #IU."

IU also showed off her extraordinary friendship by leaving a comment saying, "What a great capture." She was even following Anton's account. The post is currently not available, but it has been re-examined by fans since Anton's debut.

Warm eyes are gathering on IU and Anton, who have become seniors and juniors in the entertainment industry, from a close sister-brother relationship.
