IU doesn't need a special fandom, because every fandom loves her.

BBIBBI (2018) - YELLOW BLUEMING (2019) - BLUE EIGHT (2020) - ORANGE LILAC (2021) - LILAC

Jungkook and Gyu are so real for saying she’s their crush, same boys same.

Never gonna change the fact that this is my fav song of IU

Now I see why all kpop stars are also whipped for her

If mermaids existed, I feel like they would have her voice. Beautiful, melodious, and mesmerizing. You somehow can't help but be drawn to it.

The lyrics are so sad yet the m/v is so beautiful 😭

Theory: IU is leaving her twenties, and when she reaches the train station there is a board saying "where are you going". The list is about the first and last song she wrote in her twenties, from the spring of twenty to LILAC. On her card it says "departure: HYLAC , destination: BYLAC." This technically means that she is departing from HYLAC (hello twenties) and travelling to BYLAC. (Bye twenties, hi thirties) when she gets on the train she experienced many stuff including friendship, sadness, love and hate."i bear my tears" which means she's sad to say goodbye to her twenties. She then meets friendship wearing a purple suit, the train is full of happiness. After that, there's a scene showing IU fighting strangers which MAY be haters and the food or whatever it was is a music award. She encounters many experiences until she reaches her destination, BYLAC. In BYLAC, we can see she looks scared and lonely, looking around since it's a new environment for her. But she still smiles thinking "it's alright" . (Btw im a smol yt so it will help i alot if u watch my videos :]) Edit: we can see at the beginning, before joining the train IU is wearing a cute vintage outfit but after reaching her destiny she's looking tired, her outfit looks messed up as well as her hair which tells it was an amazing but exhausting and also interesting journey. Edit 2: we can see when the train is filled with petals, or its raining petals, we notice the women and other few people are unhappy about the petals. This means "many people hate your success". IU is saying that she was getting more and more successful and many people were happy for her, but like the women were annoyed (they're pictured as haters) haters would still hate. But IU is still happy and smiling which gives another meaning "never give up" or "don't let People who hate your success enjoy your happiness"

Fun fact: this song isnt actually about forbidden love or saying goodbye to a lover. Its actually about memories of youth. IU embraces the symbolism of lilac flowers as memories of youth to bid an emotional farewell to her 20s and a hopeful hello to her 30s.the train she takes is actually a train from her 20s to her 30s! Edit: HOLD UP JSHSHD 192 LIKES IN 3 DAYS??¿¿¿¿ Edit 2: I think I’m gonna pass out *inhale* THREEE? THOUSAND?

Just said bye to my 20s and hi to my 30s with this song! Such a beautiful moment🌙

I’ve always gotta play LILAC during spring!!! It’s such a beautiful song that’s always in my head! IU looks so beautiful!!!

Ngl every fandom literally adore and appreciate her 😭😭😭

She came back from a very poor background, she failed 20 auditions yet didn't give up, she didn't get right after debuting, she faced criticism on her first live performance (fans saying dirty things to her), she faced body shaming and due to that eating disorders (like Jimin), her parents were cheated in business and lost all the money ,so she had to live her grandparents ...she didn't had enough to eat and proper shelter to live. She said she used to stay in her dorms so that atleast she'll have enough food to eat, she started training at a very young age of 15 and had to go through all of this...yet she never gave up. Now she's the top soloist of Korea , youngest philanthropist of Asia...infact she donated in every month of 2020 , she lets juniors practice in her training room for free(which is in her office..which she owns), she's very kind and down to earth, super talented and her songs are really great, she's an actor, singer, host, songwriter, composer, producer, youtuber...etc. She treats her team members -> her band players, backup dancers, manager, bodyguards, make-up artists and stylists as her own family...she performed in their weddings for free. While renewing her contract, she gave up her payment and instead of that she asked to raise the salaries of her team members and give them a permanent job. She buys snacks and gifts for fans everytime she travel to another country and give them to fans by herself. She performed in graduation ceremony of a fan just because she promised. She always supports her junior artists and other artists and help to bring them up (You will get to know this if you see her performances). During rehearsal of an award function fans were waiting outside and it was getting late because of rehearsal of artists was taking longer..she literally brought food and hot packs for all those fans who were waiting (because they were waiting for long and they would be hungry and it was cold..there were nearly 500 fans). She gives more than what she receives, she's known as donation angel in Korea. She's also very beautiful, talented and witty.. she's really mature , the way she sees life , her perspective of things I guess everyone will fall in love with her for that. She's really strong and won't easily give up. The way she shuts her haters shows her wittiness. Also Jungkook told that he's her fan since her debut, when she debuted she was 16 years old and he was 12 years old. So he has been a loyal fan of her since 12 years starting from auditioning with her DEBUT song Lost child (even though it wasn't a big hit compared to her other songs) still continuing being her loyal fan even after becoming so successful himself. He recently covered 3 of her songs Rain drop , You and I... I don't remember the another one. He recommended her song Merry Christmas in advance in BTS Christmas playlist. He had earlier said that he listens to this song every christmas 😭😭. This fanboy story is so beautiful...... I hope they both collab soon Here are some things you should watch about IU, 1.Age of the cathedrals cover. 2.Kiss and cry (ice skating performances) 3.MAMA 2018 performance 4.Hotel del luna drama and my mister drama 5.Infinite challenge 6.House on wheels 7.Persona movie 8.IU's video on Kakaoo webtoon 9.IU in Yoo hee yeol's sketchbook (2020.09.18)

그녀의 목소리는 너무 매혹적입니다. 떨어지고 있어요

IU is a good actress and soloist I can't believe she is so talented

“Spring is short. But it comes again.” -IU Lilac

This is a whole movie

Even after two years this song hasn’t gotten old , love iu Main vocalist of the vocal line of K-pop

I'm a big fan of iu for her elegance 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

*L = LOVELY* *I = INCREDIBLE* *L = LIMITED EDITION* *A = ADORABLE* *C = CHARISMA*

The video ends with the text “Spring is short. But it comes again”. Spring is associated with youthfulness, the "springtime of life" as some call it. In this comeback IUʼs saying her farewell to her 20s, sending them off with bittersweet feelings. So many people think youʼre at your best when youʼre in youʼre 20s and therefore feel pressure, but this message at the end tells us that "spring will come again" - youth isnʼt something measured by numbers, and entering your 30s doesnʼt mean youʼre "past your prime" or that you can no longer progress in life and prosper anymore as society tends to push onto us (especially on women). I think this is a very powerful and important message for anyone who is afraid of "aging" and I think IU did it gracefully.

얼굴도 이쁘고 노래도 잘부르고 어쩜 저렇게 완벽할까ㅠㅠ

2025년 에도 들을사람 손 ✋️

Not many kpop idols got the qualities like IU nowadays. No wonder JYP is quite mad when he heard that someone from his company reject IU during an interview. IU = easy money. no scandal, no high demand, creates her own lyric, great voice, plus good looking. Basically they only need to make sure no one stealing her chocolate while she was away.

LILAC Means a flower. 1.White lilacs = purity and innocence. 2.Blue lilacs = happiness and tranquility. 3.Magenta lilacs = love and passion. *** Lilac, the color for which this flower is named, is a light purple that symbolizes a first love.***

She’s so pretty and such great vocals 🫶🏼

One of the best soloist,still sad that she has less views and stuff...she deserves sooo much hype

My friend:Who is your favorite actress? Me: IU. My friend:Who is your favorite idol? Me: IU. My friend:Who is your favorite dancer? Me:IU. My friend:Who is your favorite beside IU? Me: Lee ji eun. My friend:Who is that? Me:IU. STAN IU FOR BETTER LIFE!💓

My first comeback as a UAENA! So proud to be a part of this family!!

IU has the face of a princess straight out of a manga or a fairy tale ✓

This song feels like it was released yesterday

MAN, THIS MV KINDA HAD CHARACTERS SHE'S PREVIOUSLY PLAYED.

IU literally owns the word "angelic"

이 노래는 역사상 최고의 노래 중 하나야.

2024년도에 듣고 있는 사람?

This is why I pay for my wifi .

cant believe IU has been dominating the industry as a soloist for over a decade & she’s still delivering how time flies 🥺

Listen Spring Day is the BEST!. IU BEST VOCALIST!, BEST PERSON! And BEST ALL!. UAENA FROM ARGENTINA ALWAYS SUPPORT IU!

Anyone listening to this masterpiece in 2024❤❤

IU's music is so different. They get the views they get because she has mastered a diverse aesthetic and theme that everyone enjoys. She really does a great job with her songs, and her company with her MV's. They never shy away from telling apart of her story in a way, so it never feels like she is forced to comply and conform to a manufactured or rehearsed setting. It's just a beautiful, enjoyable, free flowing masterpiece.

[My interpretation of the MV] I JUST FELT LIKE, 1. The first time she rode the train where she's in all purple outfit, it represents her first few years in the industry. she looking at everything in awe, trying to mimic everyone's dance steps because she's still unfamiliar with it. 2. The part where she's partying in a black dress may represent her successes being an artist in the industry 3. Her with her beat up face and tackling down bad guys may represent the challenging experiences that she had. (haters, rumors, etc) BUT if you noticed, she kept a good smile and I believe it's her embracing those challenges and allowing her to grow through them. 4. And finally when she was back at the platform it's like she was initially confused how she got off the train. then a new train comes, maybe signifying that she will now enter her 30s and it's time to say goodbye to her 20's. And at the last second when she realized that she had gotten out of the train and the machinist waved at IU, which means "20 year old life train" had passed and IU had to get on the next "train of life", IU looked worried. But then IU smiled and looked at the camera as if believing that all would be well, "Spring is short, but it's comes again" !! IU WE LOVE YOU. I will answer your bridge and say I will never forget you, your name, your existence. Thank you for creating music that brings people together. White lilacs symbolize purity and innocence” Lilac, the color for which this flower is named, is a light purple that symbolizes a first love. And maybe the outfits she wears represents different moods or emotions like this mv for example uses Lilac ( light purple) quite a bit which could mean happy or tranquil emotions. Also this comment is not mine. I just wanted to share with other people so they could understand the MV better. So credits to whoever made it. :) 이것은 내 코멘트의 한국어 번역본이다. 번역기를 사용하고 있어서 오류가 있다면 죄송합니다. 하지만 내 의견을 이해해주길 바래. [MV에 대한 나의 해석] 그냥 기분이... 1. 그녀가 보라색 옷을 입고 기차를 처음 탔을 때, 그것은 그녀가 업계에서 처음 몇 년을 보낸 것을 의미해요. 모든 걸 경외하는 눈빛으로 바라보면서 모든 사람들의 춤 스텝을 흉내내려고 해요. 아직 익숙하지 않으니까요. 2. 그녀가 검은 드레스를 입고 파티를 하는 것은 그녀가 그 업계에서 예술가로서 성공한 것을 의미할 수도 있다. 3. 얼굴을 치켜들고 나쁜 남자들을 상대하는 그녀의 모습은 그녀가 겪었던 도전적인 경험을 대변할 수도 있습니다. (혐오, 소문 등) 하지만 만약 여러분이 알아차렸다면, 그녀는 좋은 미소를 지었습니다. 저는 그녀가 그러한 도전을 받아들이고 그것을 통해 성장할 수 있도록 하는 것이 그녀라고 믿습니다. 4. 그리고 마침내 그녀가 승강장으로 돌아왔을 때, 그녀는 처음에 어떻게 기차에서 내렸는지 혼란스러워했던 것 같아. 그리고 나서 새로운 기차가 오는데, 아마 그녀가 30대에 접어들고 이제 20대와 작별할 때가 된 것 같다. 그리고 마지막 순간 자신이 열차에서 내린 것을 깨닫고 기계공은 '20세 인생 열차'가 지나가고 아이유가 다음 '삶의 열차'에 올라타야 한다는 아이유를 향해 손을 흔들었을 때, 아이유는 걱정스러운 표정을 지었다. 하지만 아이유는 "봄은 짧지만 또 온다"는 믿음의 미소를 지으며 카메라를 바라보았다. IU WE LOVE YOU. 당신의 다리에 대답하고 당신, 이름, 존재를 잊지 않겠다고 말할게요. 사람들을 하나로 뭉치게 하는 음악을 만들어 주셔서 감사합니다. 흰색 라일락은 순수와 청순함을 상징한다. 라일락은 이 꽃의 이름이 붙은 색깔로 첫사랑을 상징하는 연보라색이다. 그리고 어쩌면 그녀가 입는 옷들은 이 MV와 같은 다른 기분이나 감정을 나타낼지도 모릅니다. 예를 들어, 라일락은 행복하거나 평온한 감정을 의미할 수 있습니다. 또한 이 논평은 내 것이 아니다. 그냥 다른 분들과 공유해서 MV를 더 잘 이해하려고요. 그럼 누가 만들었든 신용을 얻었군. :)

I was having a headache leaning linux from course, her voice is healing me now, love u lilac song

Every time i listen to this song i get more in love with it..iu's vocal so clean and sweet to hear like a drop of honey!!

I always forget she's an actor when she sings and forget she's a singer when she acts.

I never really listened to IU. But I'm on a IU binge spree tonight. I see why she's popular. She's mad talented

Her voice is just so beautiful ❤️ It's a mixture of soft and firm but it's totally soothing 😌

아이유 노래 다 좋지만 그중 라일락 제일 좋아요 봄느낌 물씬❤ 향긋하고 달콤한 노래😊

20대 열차에서 내리고 30대 열차를 기다리고 있다는 메시지를 담았네. 아이디어 좋다.

아이유 컨셉 노래들 보면 옛 선배가수들 영향을 많이받거나 좋아하는거같음 뭔가 겉멋부리지않고 순해 그러면서 아이유만의 색깔이 꼭 담겨져있어 노래가 대중성같지 않으면서도 대중성 같아 트렌드따라가지않고 그곳이 어디든 자기길을 걷고있는거 같아

Happy birthday IU 🎉🎉🎉

Now i realized why jk liking her so much

Entering the train while everyone is looking = the beginning of her career, some people are skeptical but then dance with her Party in the train = her wins in the music worlds (keeps going!!) Fighting scene = her career going forward with the bleeding effort, standing strong fighting other idols from time to time Arriving at the train station = now she arrives at the beginning of her 30s. Looks scary and dark, leaving her 20s memories on the train but she will keep going on to a new station 👏

IU is so lyrical its crazy! And the visuals match! This is a beautiful farewell to her twenties. She released Pallete in her mid twenties expressing how she had grown to know her likes and dislikes, saying She likes purple more than pink. And here in lilac she rode that train, taking us through her good times and times she had to fight. Standing alone on the platform not knowing what to do, and the the next train comes taking her to her thirties she’s nervous but excited. So beautiful I could cry

Imma hitting Marshall 1taps with this one 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

2023 and this song still the best

She looks good in every single outfit, especially that white dress, it's so gorgeous

Note: this is only my personal interpretation, I don't claim it's the only one. The song lyrics and MV seem to be telling IU's experiences with the reality of fame and fickleness of the public's love, and how vulnerable she feels knowing this truth but still trying to enjoy it while it lasts. In the beginning when she gets on the train she's full of hope and naive anticipation at chasing her dream, she completely ignores the sleazy guy (who maybe represents the powerful agencies and executives in the K ent industry?) checking her out and foreshadows the obstacles she'll face as an attractive, talented young woman. For a while it goes her way, and she's partying it up as she seems to be achieving her dream and the public love her and dance along with her. Then the reality hits her (literally) in the next train car when in order to eat/make a living (the plate of mandu) she has to fight for it through all the obstacles thrown her way like thugs. But at the end she gets abandoned on the platform and the train of fame (the ent. industry) moves on with its next "big thing" that it'll pick up and take on the same illusory journey. This is her fear, and the reality that the public's love for a celebrity is fickle. Despite the bright visuals this is actually quite sad and poignant.

I can’t believe it’s been two years this song makes me want to dance,be in my feelings,etc. I love it

The reason why she's the nation's crush 💯

Everyone can sing, but nobody can sing like IU. She's angel🌸

she’s literally the most beautiful person in earth in the inside and the outside

Its 2023 still its a masterpiece ✨️ 👌 and Iu dressing sense is cute❤

i love kaemi

IU said "I want it to have mainstream appeal with the general public. Rather than ‘It’s IU so I guess I’ll have a listen’, I want people to think ‘I want to listen to this because it’s actually really good’. The whole songs on the album was so good that I can't ever choose my favourite track.

IU is not only an idol (singer and dancer). She is an actress. A composer. A director. She has it all.

Lilac is best kpop song😍

Haters Should Consult A Really Good Eye Doctor. I'm A Blink But I Love IU So Much. You Deserve The World ❤❤❤

This LILAC comeback of IU is seriously insane

This is such a bittersweet album. She's basically saying goodbye to her 20s.

Jungkook was right about her ❤❤❤IU❤❤❤

IU is SO freaking gorgeous and her voice too, I love you IU 💜🤍

Beside of her natural beauty, She is so talented , Her songs never gets boring , Glad that there’s a solo artist like IU in Kpop and in this world.

in palette she said she prefers purple over hot pink and now we have this, lilac (a shade of purple) she celebrates her 30s with colors of purple/lilac edit: she’s in her 28 which is technically her late 20s now but soon she’ll be spending her 30s ;-; and my point still stands that she might be talking about her 30s in this new song

I LOVE U

타고난 재능이라는게 바로 이런걸 말하는구나싶음💐

'하얀 우리 봄날의 클라이막스'라는 가사가 너무 와닿는다...10대부터 시작해서 20대는 끝나가지만 이지은이라는 한 사람의 봄날은 계속 되기를 바랄게요

This soloist actress has no haters

i addicted to this song cuz of kaemi ❤❤❤

I love you Lee Ji-eun!!

She has a voice that you just cannot stop listening to.

아이유 진짜 예쁘다

this woman is INCAPABLE of making bad songs. PERIODT.

4:18 IU onboard to the next train which leads to the Sunshine Mart in the Shopper MV, marks the start of her 30s. PLEASE WATCH SHOPPER & STREAM THE WINNING ALBUM

The "Oh Lilac" part is so innocent, fragile, and quite scintillating

She can do no wrong in my eyes. I love literally all of her songs.

My favorite K-pop song as always ❤️✨

Love you most beautiful Lilac, I dont think Ill forget you. Love you most beautiful.

If IU isn't your idol , then she is your idol's idol...

This song and her sweet voice are so addicting no wonder why she’s the most successful soloist in kpop

This is the definition of Kpop subtilty🪄

스물아홉 넘어 드디어 서른, 시작을 맞이하기에 라일락만한 노래가 없다 2024년과 함께 잘 부탁해!

Fun fact: Whatever your fandom is in kpop, when The Nation's Little Sister and Sweetheart comes back with a new song, we all come together to support her!
