IU’s ‘Snack of Choice’ on Set: Is This the Secret to Her Glowing Skin?

IU (31), known for her glowing skin and healthy lifestyle, was recently spotted enjoying tangerines on set during her promotional activities for the Netflix drama ‘When Life Gives You Tangerines’ (폭싹 속았수다). The moment was shared in a video on IU’s YouTube channel ‘IU TV’, titled "[IU TV] A Day in the Life of IU, When Life Gives You Tangerines" on April 7.

In the video, IU and actor Park Bo-gum take a break from their busy schedule and share a light snack of tangerines. When Park Bo-gum commented, "You haven't eaten anything yet," IU responded, "If I eat something, I have to touch up my lipstick," hinting at her preference for a minimal yet effective snack on set. Despite the temptation of other snacks, IU opted for the refreshing tangerines, which she ate while continuing her promotional duties.

Tangerines, rich in Vitamin C, are known for their health benefits, including boosting the immune system and preventing colds. Vitamin C acts as a powerful antioxidant, helping to eliminate free radicals in the body and slowing down cellular aging. This is why it’s often praised for its skin brightening and anti-aging properties. The fruit also promotes collagen production, contributing to skin elasticity and a healthy complexion.

Moreover, tangerines help inhibit melanin production, which could contribute to skin whitening effects. The fruit is also high in dietary fiber, which promotes healthy digestion and prevents constipation. Its high water content makes it an excellent option for hydration.

Tangerines are a great snack for a healthy lifestyle, offering a range of benefits from skin health to immune support. However, like any fruit, moderation is key, and it’s essential to maintain a balanced diet with a variety of foods to ensure optimal health.

A YouTube Milestone

IU (31), the beloved singer and actress, has reached a major milestone on YouTube, surpassing 10 million subscribers. On April 6, IU shared a video titled ‘10 Million YouTuber IU (이지금)’ on her official YouTube channel, celebrating the achievement. According to the post, her channel, ‘이지금’ (which is a play on her real name, Lee Ji-eun), crossed the 10 million mark on that day.

In the video, IU shared the moment with her fans as the subscriber count moved from 9,999,997 to 10 million in real time. Excited about the achievement, she exclaimed,

“I’ve surpassed 10 million subscribers and earned the Diamond Play Button! I’m officially a Diamond Button YouTuber!”

Expressing her gratitude, IU added,

“I will continue to create even more fun content to be a 10 million subscriber YouTuber. A big thank you to all 10 million and 13 subscribers for your support!"
