She further added about how IU reminded her of her mother,

“In the middle of the shoot, for a split second, I could see faint overlapping images (of you and my mom). It felt as if the younger version of my mother, that I’ve never thought about, was right next to me. I thought to myself that, ‘she was probably a cheerful, intelligent and innocent kid with a slender figure and smooth skin (like you) too.”
