Singer and actor IU, who recently paused her activities due to health issues, showed her support for actor Byeon Woo-seok by sending a snack truck to his filming set.

On Wednesday, a food truck company posted several photos on Instagram with the caption: "Supporting the filming of the Netflix drama 'Solo Leveling.' Actor IU sent this to the set for Actor Byeon Woo-seok and the production team."

The photos show the snack truck IU sent for Byeon, with a banner featuring an acrostic poem using Byeon's name and his character's name, Sung Jin-woo.

The banner also carried a witty message: "Let's level up together… Anyway, fighting, Solo Leveling team."

IU and Byeon starred together in the MBC series "21st Century Daegunjubin," which wrapped in May. The two grew close through the production and have continued to support each other since the drama ended.

Byeon is currently filming the new Netflix series "Solo Leveling."

"Solo Leveling" is based on the popular web novel and webtoon of the same name. The story follows Sung Jin-woo, the weakest E-rank hunter, who awakens in the face of death and gradually grows into the most powerful hunter capable of saving the world. Byeon takes on the lead role of Sung Jin-woo, marking a new direction in his acting career.

IU has put her activities on hold for now. Her agency announced in July that her patulous Eustachian tube condition, which she had been managing for some time, had worsened, prompting the postponement of scheduled performances and a new album release.

At the time, IU also addressed fans directly about her condition, saying she felt she had "pushed too hard without properly taking care of my health." She added that specialists had advised her that performing would be difficult for the time being, and asked for fans' understanding.
