IU shared it on her Stories and commented, “He’s totally a pro… RIIZE’s ANTON!” drawing the attention of many fans of the genre due to this closeness between the idols, which is because they are seemingly connected by producer and singer Yoon Sang.

The two artists have known each other as siblings since they were young, as this producer is Anton’s father and also has a close relationship with IU, who in the past has referred to him as ‘father’, growing as an older sister for the RIIZE member.
