Singer and actress IU recently revealed the behind-the-scenes of the 'Keyring Challenge.' On the 25th, IU's agency posted a video along with the message "Christmas gift IU keyring has arrived!" on their official account, accompanied by the hashtags "#IU #IU #KeyringChallenge."

The released video uses 'Not Cute Anymore' by Ailett as background music and shows IU taking on the 'Hood Jab Shot Challenge' and the 'Keyring Challenge.' This challenge uses a perspective shot from above to create an optical illusion that makes it look like a keyring is hanging from a bag, and it is currently trending among many stars.

Contrary to the seemingly perfect results of the challenge, IU revealed that the process was not easy. She posted a behind-the-scenes video with the caption "The challenging(?) process of IU's challenge," including the hashtags "#IU #IU #KeyringChallenge #ItWasNotEasy."

In the video, IU starts the challenge with a serious expression but soon her hands and feet move out of sync, and she appears clumsy and broken, bringing laughter to viewers. Fans responded to her cute appearance and awkward attempts with comments like "The behind-the-scenes is cuter," and "Did she put in this much effort? I'm touched."

Meanwhile, IU is currently filming the MBC drama <21st Century Great Lady>, set to air in 2026. In this work, IU will share a romantic storyline with actor Byun Woo-seok. Fans' anticipation for the drama is growing.

IU's challenge and behind-the-scenes videos showcase her various charms and serve as an opportunity to strengthen communication with her fans. IU continues to take on new challenges, deepening her relationship with the public.
