Guy: So you performed as a guest on Lee Seung Gi’s concert.
IU: Yes.
Guy: Did he give you anything in return?
IU: Yes, he gave me a really expensive-looking bracelet.
[TEXT] Flustered
Lady: A bracelet?
Eunhyuk: This guy is too much!
SG: That’s because she helped me as a guest…
Suju guys: We’re guests too, aren’t we?
Guy: I want one too!
[TEXT] Roaring crowd
Guy: Me too!
Another guy: Hold on, Lee Seung Gi, she only guest performed once,
Another guy: we’re fixed guests on this show, you know.
IU: It was a really flashy bracelet.
IU: Really, just one look at it and you can tell it’s really expensive.
Jealous yeoja: A flashy bracelet?
Eunhyuk: A branded item.
Jealous noona: Seung Gi, look how empty noona’s arm is that she has to wear gloves!
Jealous noona: Noona wants a bracelet too, really!
Guy: Why are you being like this?
SG: Since it has great significance,
SG: I went down personally to pick a gift for IU.
[TEXT] Touched
SG: That’s because only if I went down personally
SG: would I be able to get a discount.

IU’s dream date - 1:07 to 1:20
LT: IU has a dream date too. What kind of date could it be?
IU: It would be nice to go on an overseas trip,
IU: and sit in the last row of seats on the bus,
IU: sharing earphones while listening to music.
IU: That’s really romantic.
Someone: It would be great to take the bus together like that.
Someone: Hey… What are you doing?
EH: I’m a pitiful child too.

IU tells ghost stories - 1:20 to end
SG: Who are you?
SG: What’s your story?
IU: It’s a scary story.
Girl: A scary story?
Guy: Oh, a horror story?
Someone: It’s something about horror.
IU: Yes, it’s a horror story.
IU: When I was recording my title song ‘You and I’,
IU: I just… just felt weird that day.
SG: For some reason…
IU: For some reason, I had a strange feeling.
IU: Nothing happened at all initially,
IU: but both the people outside and I were having this strange feeling.
IU: Lee Min Soo, who wrote my title song, also wrote ‘Nagging’ and ‘Good Day’,
IU: as well as songs for others like ‘Abracadabra’.
IU: That day we were recording for the album,
IU: but from the start to the end, nothing was going well.
IU: He would be like, “You should sing like that for that part,”
IU: but I would reply, “No, oppa, shouldn’t it be this way?”
IU: Just like that, both of us became frustrated.
IU: So oppa went, “Hey! Then compose the song by yourself!”
IU: And I went, “Then oppa, why don’t you sing it by yourself?!”
SG: Ah, that’s childish! That’s childish.
Boom: You compose the song! Oppa, sing it by yourself!
Someone: That’s right, sounds like what an elementary school kid would say.
IU: Then oppa left and went to the next room.
IU: Not the recording studio, but his own room. He was furious.
IU: I was feeling upset too. After all, this was going to be the title song.
Everyone: Yeah.
IU: I was feeling down and said I would be going back first.
IU: I returned to the recording studio and bid farewell to everyone.
IU: Then I told the staff working at the studio,
IU: “Goodbye, I’ll come back again to record tomorrow.”
IU: I thanked them for the trouble and was on my way out,
IU: when the engineer oppa held me back.
IU: He persuaded me and told me that I couldn’t behave that way
IU: since Minsoo was very much my senior.
IU: He was talking to me like this,
IU: while my manager oppa was standing at the side like this
IU: and kept nodding his head.
IU: Even though our eyes didn’t meet,
IU: I was aware that there was someone beside us.
IU: Oppa just kept nodding
IU: and inwardly I started to get annoyed with manager oppa.
SG: Because he kept nodding.
IU: Yes, since he kept doing that,
IU: then engineer oppa told me to work well with Minsoo oppa
IU: when I returned the next day and apologise to him.
IU: I told him alright, that I understood.
IU: He told me to hurry home,
IU: so I left, but manager oppa who was on my left returned to the recording studio.
IU: My heart was beating wildly as I wondered if this was some kind of joke,
IU: or was he recording?
IU: After I bid farewell to engineer oppa,
IU: I followed manager oppa back into the recording studio,
IU: but found out that there was no one in there at all.
SG: What?
IU: I thought it was strange so I came out
IU: and asked engineer oppa where manager oppa was.
IU: Wasn’t he just standing right there before?
IU: He asked me what was wrong with me
IU: and I told him manager oppa was standing right next to us just now as we were talking
IU: and he went back into the recording studio, didn’t he?
IU: But engineer oppa told me that there was no one around except the two of us.
[TEXT] Goosebumps~
IU: I then retorted, saying that wasn’t true and that he was there all the while!
IU: So I went outside and asked where manager oppa was.
IU: As I was asking the question, he returned from all the way there.
Someone: Oh my, from a totally different place.
IU: Ah yes, from a totally different place.
IU: When I told others about it, no one would believe me.
IU: But I thought to myself, there’s a rumour that if one meets a ghost in the recording studio,
IU: the album would become a great success.
Someone: Yes, that’s right.
IU: Now that ‘You and I’ is doing so well,
IU: I’m starting to think positively.
IU: Yes, I’m working towards that.
[TEXT LINE 1] The person who was nodding by the side
[TEXT LINE 2] remains a mystery…
SG: Ah really, I kept getting goosebumps!
IU: While recording for ‘Good Day’,
Lady: Oh you mean that wasn’t your first encounter?
IU: Yeah, I used to live in the dorms,
IU: I was sleeping in the room alone,
IU: when I felt someone hug me from behind
IU: and tell me he loves me.
IU: He kept stroking my hair too.
SG: When you were sleeping?
IU: Yes.
IU: I could feel the warmth from his hand
IU: and he even tucked my hair behind my ear.
IU: I felt completely pressed down by a pair of scissors (a case of sleep paralysis, basically you feel like something heavy is weighing down on you so you can’t move)
IU: He kept saying he loved me while stroking my hair
IU: and even blew in my ear.
SG: No, but he seems strange.
SG: He must have been a perverted uncle fan.
IU: At that point in time, I woke up
IU: and then I went back to sleep
IU: and this time, in my dreams, I was in my room.
IU: The ghost opened the door and stepped into my room.
IU: He opened the door to my room and
IU: he turned out to be really good-looking.
SG: You mean the ghost?
IU: Yes!
IU: He was really tall and good-looking.
IU: That’s the sort of dream I had.
Guy: It’s here. (Scaring her I think)
IU: I even wrote lyrics about waiting for him before
IU: and there was this one time…
Guy: Ghosts seem to like IU too.
Someone: They are fans of IU too.
Someone: Ghosts usually tend to scare people.
IU: I had such a dream.
SG: Why is it that all you ghosts are male?
IU: But in my dream, In Young-unni appeared too.
IU: Seo In Young.
Someone: Oh, Seo In Young?
IU: In Young-unni… has a really high-pitched voice
[TEXT] For some reason, it already sounds scary~
Someone: It’s high-pitched.
IU: Especially so when she laughs.
IU: In Young-unni went, ‘Gagagaga!’ and suddenly appeared while laughing
IU: as she trudged towards me in my dream.
IU: She kept laughing as she came towards me
IU: and then she touched my ear as she continued her ‘gagagaga!’ laugh.
IU: I felt really scared in my dream,
IU: but suddenly I thought this didn’t seem like it was a dream.
Guy: What do you mean?
IU: The sound didn’t seem to come from my dream.
IU: As I was thinking about that,
IU: I woke up at that moment and as I lay there,
IU: the sound kept resounding in my head.
IU: I kept hearing the ‘Gagagaga!’ sounds
IU: but then the moment I opened my eyes, the sounds had vanished
IU: and I opened my eyes to see someone curled up right in front of me.
Someone: What’s that? Ahh!
Someone: Stop it!
IU: It was a shabbily dressed ghost sitting in front of me.
Someone: Was it male or female?
IU: It was a female ghost and her hair was bunched up like…just like this.
IU: It really looked like this.
Lady: Did you really see her in person?
IU: Yes, I did.
IU: How do I put this… her hair was messed up like this
IU: and she was wearing really filthy and oversized clothes
IU: and just crouching over there like this.
EH: Vintage style.
IU: She was crouching like this.
Someone: It’s a vintage ghost.
Guy: Weren’t you scared?
IU: It was really scary,
IU: at that moment I was taken aback and as I was staring at her,
IU: she lifted her head and it turned out to be me!
Lady: What’s going on!
Someone: That’s scary!
SG: Was it just your reflection in the mirror?
IU: No, no, that’s not it.
IU: She was just sitting there staring right at me.
Guy: Really scary. That must be really scary.
IU: So I was really scared and asked, “Who are you?!”
IU: and as I shouted that, the ‘scissors’ was lifted from my body.
IU: After that, I told my boss that I couldn’t stand living in the dorms anymore
IU: and that I even saw myself today.
IU: That’s what I told him.
IU: In the end, I went back home to stay.
IU: But our company also has another group called ‘Sunny Hill’,
IU: a different group of singers.
SG: Yes, yes.
IU: Yes, they were sleeping in my room,
IU: and they experienced the same thing I did.
SG: Sunny Hill saw themselves?
Lady: They saw their own face.
IU: No, no, they met the handsome ghost.
Lady: The one who said ‘I love you’?
Guy: Oh, it was the male ghost.
Girl: I want to live there too.
Guy: Just to meet the ghost?
IU: They received hugs from the ghost like I did.
IU: Every time just before I release an album,
IU: there would always be such ghostly encounters.
SG: This is a Christmas special but…
[TEXT] Suddenly [sending chills down everyone’s spines~]
Someone: A christmas nightmare?
