Singer Juniel discussed how she met IU as a trainee.

In an interview with Sports Korea on June 11, Juniel revealed, "I met IU a couple of times during my trainee days through an acquaintance. Since we were around the same age and both of us had similar interests, we got along very well."

She also commented on the rumors that she was IU's guitar teacher, explaining that though she introduced IU to the guitar, she has not given IU any lessons.

Juniel went on, "Whenever I ran into her, I always had a guitar strapped to myself. Since she showed interest, I suggested that she learn how to play. I later heard that the agency made a proposal, and IU was able to learn the guitar."

Juniel released her debut mini-album 'My First June' on the 7th. She's reported to have co-composed most of the songs on the album. Both her title track "Illa Illa" and duet with CNBLUE's Jung Yonghwa, "Stupid", have been ranking high on music charts as well.
