Stephen Adams (29, Memphis Grizzlies), who plays in the NBA, mentioned singer-actress IU.
The interview that Adams shared about IU on SNS on the 21st (Korea Standard Time) is drawing renewed attention. As the media Basketball Network wrote an article about it, the word started to come out among SNS.
In 2019, Adams visited Korea as a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Adams was asked by a reporter in Korea, “Do you know IU?”
Adams said, “I know IU very well. I always look at IU’s pictures and listen to her songs. I listened to a lot of popular songs like “Good Day” and liked them. If I have a chance, I really want to be friend with her.“
Adams is 211cm tall, which is 50cm taller than IU of the same age as himself. In addition, many Korean NBA fans compared IU with young visuals to Adams with mature visuals and nicknamed him “IU’s friend“. Adams was aware of this fact, too.
Adams has since moved to the Memphis Grizzlies, where he continues his career as a starting center in the NBA. Meanwhile, IU has now grown to become one of the best Korean female solo artists with 27.4 million Instagram followers, drawing more than 1 million albums and about 120 million digital downloads.
On the other hand, IU will be the first Korean female solo artist to hold a solo concert at the main stadium in Jamsil in September.
