Singer IU grew emotional on a recent episode of SBS 'Strong Heart' while talking about SPICA member Kim Boa.



On the May 22nd broadcast of 'Strong Heart' guest IU stated, "I first met [Boa] when I became a trainee at the age of 15. I thought she had the most ideal voice for a vocalist, and she gave me a lot of help. She's like my Savior."



"I never really cry," she continued. "When I receive awards or win K-Chart wins, I don't usually shed tears but I cried watching SPICA's debut performance."



"The reason why I became close with Boa unni was because we both couldn't dance when we were trainees," she explained. "When others were practicing difficult choreographies, we only did the basic moves. But seeing unni debut in a dance group and dancing as well as the other members made me feel so proud."



"Please don't edit Boa unni's part of the show today," she requested. "I'm so moved that I am able to feature in a great SBS variety show with the unni I endured difficult times with."



IU then shed a few tears, embracing Kim Boa with a warm hug.
