In an episode of her ongoing online series IU's Homebody Signal, K-pop star IU did another "mishmash live" where she challenged herself to do semi-impromptu performances.

This time, she took some requests sent in by her fans.

"Because we're not supposed to prepare, I sorted out several songs among those. I thought that they would send us my songs. There are no songs by me," she says in the video.

One of the requests is K-pop favorite "Spring Day" by global superstars BTS.

"There was 'Spring Day by BTS. I really like this song personally," IU says before she sang a song four notes higher than the original key.

Another request was the song "Love Again" by EXO's Baekhyun.

However, IU admitted that she didn't know the song and decided to sing another one of Baekhyun's songs which she likes a lot.

"There was Baekhyun's 'Love Again.' I don't know 'Love Again.' I like 'UN Village.' I like the song called 'UN Village.' Shall we sing that song briefly?" she says.

She also recalled how they worked together in the series Scarlet Heart. Baekhyun played the 10th prince Wang-eun while she played the lead Hae-soo.

Watch IU do short covers of other K-pop songs in this video:

IU was chosen to sing the theme song for new South Korean idol survival show Into the I-LAND.

She also released a song called "Eight," a collaboration with BTS's Suga last May.
