Stephen Adams (29, Memphis Grizzlies), who plays in the NBA, mentioned singer-actress IU.
The interview about IU shared by Adams on SNS on the 21st (Korea Standard Time) has attracted attention again.
In 2019, Adams visited South Korea as a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder. A South Korean reporter asked Adams, "Do you know the IU?" ”
Adams said: "I know the IU very well. I always look at IU's pictures and listen to her songs. I listened to a lot of pop songs, like "Good Day," and I really liked them. I would really love to be friends with her if I get the chance. ”
Adams is 211 centimeters tall, 50 centimeters taller than an IU of his age. In addition, many Korean NBA fans compared the young and beautiful IU to the mature Adams and gave him the nickname "Friend of the IU".
Adams later moved to the Memphis Grizzlies, where he continued his NBA starting center career. Meanwhile, IU has now grown into one of South Korea's finest female solo singers, with 27.4 million Instagram followers, attracting more than 1 million albums and about 120 million downloads.
On the other hand, IU will be the first Korean female soloist singer to hold a solo concert at Jamsil Main Stadium in September.
