"The first generation of the 'nation's little sister' is Lim Ye Jin sunbaenim and below her, everyone is equal."
IU continued, "I just want to be a nation's citizen...
There are a lot of celebrities who are holding the title of the 'nation's little sister' these days,so I don't think it holds much meaning."
