The grandfather uploaded reaction videos to IU's music videos such as 'Through the Night,' 'Love Poem,' and 'Love Wins All,' and even posted a video of himself making gimbap while listening to IU's songs. In broken Korean, he said, "I am UAENA Grandfather," and "Hello. I like IU very much," expressing how he eagerly awaits IU's album releases every day.

Then a miraculous event happened. IU personally watched the grandfather's video and sent a greeting in English on her Instagram story. She wrote a letter over the grandfather's reaction video to IU's new song 'Shopee.' IU said, "Hello, Grandfather. Your videos make me happy," and "Thank you so much for your smile. I want to invite you to my concert in the U.S. The company will contact you, so please come." She added, "I hope you enjoy my new album 'The Winning.' Thank you very much."

Later, the grandfather learned about IU's concert invitation from comments by netizens. Not knowing how to use Instagram, he received help from his family and, upon seeing IU's invitation post, covered his mouth and said, "My heart is beating so fast," and "I really can't believe it! I can't believe it!" in amazement. In a video titled 'I received the best news in the world' posted on the 22nd, he said, "IU is truly a kind person. Her heart is as wonderful as her talent," and "Thank you so much for inviting me. This means a lot to me," expressing his deep emotion.
