In a video clip from the set of the music program, IU could be seen in a video saying, “As much as it’s your last shoot of The Seasons, I wanted to congratulate you via this video message. When you had your first broadcast, I said that I would definitely appear on the show. I apologize for not being able to keep my promise to be a guest.” Park Bo Gum can be seen shaking his head at her sorry feelings, assuring her that it’s okay.


“I’m really, really sorry. But you know my heart’s sincerity and that I watched the broadcast almost every week right? You were the best as an MC. I was able to enjoy singer Park Bo Gum, performer/ musician Park Bo Gum, so it was great. You were really amazing on Cantabile. I’m so sorry about not appearing that…I’m here.” And in came IU, hiding her face behind a flower bouquet, which she presented to him, getting down on her knees and patting his back.
