IU introduced her radio show with a heart swelling with joy, gushing, "Hello. This is Melon Radio Star DJ, IU. It's great to meet you all. I've been dreaming about presiding over my own radio show for quite a while now, and I've got butterflies in my stomach, it feels strange." 

In the special corner dedicated for her to introduce her favorite songs, IU recommended Zion.T's "Zero Gravity," evincing her deep love for the soulful singer's music.
