The second song, Dear Name, was a song addressed to the names of everyone worldwide. So Dear [insert your name here]. The lyrics are aimed at everyone. The message of the song is the "story of someone who once lost hope in a painful heartbreak, but she eventually is able to keep her faith and hold onto a hope she keeps deep down in her heart. And that is why she put this song as the last track; it concludes her journey of growing up with a hint of hope for the love in the future." For this performance, IU selected 60 aspiring singers, some new to the industry, some backing vocalists, some with disabilities, some buskers, and showcased them with those solo slots and as a choir. Their names appeared on the screens (in connection with the song's name). IU basically used her clout to showcase a bunch of people and make their year. IU won album of the year later that night for Palette, which I think to date is her proudest award. She said (rough translation) "I yearned for this award, and it indeed feels good to hold it in my hand. I thank all the listeners and fans. I'll continue aspiring to become a singer, songwriter, lyricist and producer who understands the significant value of 'music,' and stay away from perceiving music solely as a means of fame and wealth"

To international fans, IU is already amazing because of her vocals and her music in general. But if you actually understand Korean, her lyrics TRULY hits different. It's just kinda different if you just read the english translations. They're very poetic, very beautiful especially in Korean. The lyrics might seem simple but the meaning and intentions behind them (as explained by IU) are just so so amazing. Some sad, some nostalgic, some happy, some dark even, but always beautiful aaahh I love IU. And yes her pitching is PERFECT. Her live singing is always so good

WATCH THE BLUEMING and HOLD MY HAND CONCERT PERFORMANCE THAT EVERYONE ELSE IS TALKING ABOUT PLS~ You were right about her being like the girl from coin btw girls got a hell of a cheeky side to her. If you watch the performance you’ll see how a little girl has managed to be adored by an entire nation for so long because her crazy charisma really comes through on there

The story of "Coin" is partly that she took the feeling of a popular gambling movie. It was the first "Tazza" movie. I can't remember the whole name. But the guy who she played at the end was the guru gambler of the movie. The point is that he beat her, but gives her a chance to continue, but she decides to leave gambling behind. She has said that in her 30's, she plans to take more time for herself because to continue at her current pace could do her harm. She is not giving up, but she is adjusting. The guy (guest/feature) was significant. Think about having Al Pacino doing a cameo in some pop star's MV. That is sort of what happened in that MV. Looking at the songs from that album, I like Lilac, but I was a bit disappointed that Coin was not as well received. But I'm old and pop charts are young people's territory. . . .

Others said it correctly. IU explained in a concert that Throught the Night was prompted after her company asked her to write a love song for her new album and since she suffered from insomnia she was up all night pondering and began to wonder what other people like her are doing and thinking while everyone else is asleep. So it kind of includes a message to them. Dear Name is for people who feel lost and the name is meant to include anyone who needs it. She used her time to highlight people who are otherwise nameless in the industry or who couldn't break in and all of their names flash on the screen. She wrote the song with Kim Eana who was helped a lot by Jonghyun. He passed away 2 weeks after this and this song and Lee Hi's song by Jonghyun were seen as tribute songs. It became so synonymous with him that she began having anxiety singing it... when we found out about Goo Hara during her 2019 concert we knew in the audience that she had heard because she came out and sang Dear Name. Kin Eana is actually a radio dj now and after Shinee's comeback this year she held a special episode to open up about Jonghyun and the pain of not being able to talk about him or like Dear Name almost becoming a reserved song rather than celebrating everything he stood for and his impact. Onew actually showed up as a surprise on the show to show his support. It's also an additional reason for why Shinee performed it on IU's show. IU actually has a song by Jonghyun too. Basically, mention this MMA and Dear Name and you will get several fandoms being emotional in your comments as it means a lot to her fans and Shawols.

(1)This is MMA 2017, Melon Music Award 2017, annual award in K-music. IU got Best Album in that night, and FYI ... this highest awards (daesang) is so hard to be achieved by a soloist ( you need a massive support from fandom), and she's a FEMALE soloist. (2)I hope if you have time, you can read and understand Dear Name's and Through The Night's lyrics, bcs they are so beautiful. (3) The context on Dear Name performance: Unknown artists, a newbie only a month after debut, chorus singers, buskers, and many more musicians joined in on IU's singing. Their names appeared on the large screen, further giving meaning to the track title. The song stopped for a brief moment, giving artists to state their names. "My name is Yang Seung-ho" "My name is Kim Ga-hee" "My name is Shin Moon-chul" "My name is Um Tae-woo," representing something of a breakthrough moment for those pursuing a career in the music industry. (from JoongAng, a news site in S.Korea).

Hahahha. You're right! IU radiates that kind of energy whenever she performs in her concert (stages). For starters you can watch Blueming, Hold my hand(it's a concert with 360 audience). And also, Last night story, Raindrop live concert perf. Uploaded from her official YT channel. Thank you for your great reaction!

One of her best LIVE performances from her concerts I'm sure you will enjoy for the next IU reaction: 😊 *Blueming & Hold My Hand (Love Poem Concert) *Black Out & Last Night Story (Palette Concert) *Jam Jam & Dlwlrma (Palette Concert) *Eight Acoustic Live Clip & Sleepless Rainy Night Live clip

If you want a fun concert experience, the Blueming performance from the Love Poem concert is a good choice! Her Red Queen performance in her Palette tour in Cheongju is also nice. Her Blackout + Last night story performance in her Palette tour is also fun! Basically she acts drunk and hungover in her cool IU way! For songs that are unconventional, you should check out her Modern Times album. It's a bit of a jazz, bossa, and theatrical album. Definitely one of my faves! The title track is called Red Shoes. :)

Shinee covered "dear name" on her show "pallette", there, she said about the song that is a pretty nerves wracking song. It's about a someone who is lost, his/her wishes, his name even and all about him is forgotten, but she knows the hardship he suffered, his wishes which are destroyed and also his name which is forgotten, and she will call his name over and over, and find him in some place which is not this sad and harsh. She also performed that song after hearing the news of one of her colleges suicide.

What you said around 20:20 is kinda true hahah she once said in an interview that ‘Every End Of the Day’ (it’s also a song about loving someone so much you feel like dying lol) is a hard song to sing live not because it’s requires a lot from her vocally, but because she has to act lovely and happy and she’s usually tired by then 😂

Blueming ,from the love poem concert live, when you see the stage and reactions you will be very happy,

abt coin and straw moon : (1)coin is abt workaholic IU. She worked super hard before this, so she want to be take it slower after she reach 30 y.o . (2)abt straw moon, she said she want to make a super simple/ easy listening/ happy song. The point of Strawberry Moon is its released on midnight, on fullmoon time. This is unusual release time in S.Korea, bcs her song wont show up on the charts even after 8 hours since it has been released. Most listeners listen to new music that is seen in the chart ranking; therefore, singers who release their songs at 12 AM will be at a loss.

If you want something that sounds completely different, I definitely recommend ‘between the lips (50cm)’ and ‘Love of B’! It’s really different than the type of music she usually does and I believe there’s a live performance for 50cm!

Since you've already watched Shinee covering her song, I really recommend watching her cover of Sherlock on IU's Palette ! It's a treat and it could surprise you !

I still love her reactions, I died laughing at her "almost kiss" 😂. You are correct, she is more of a Coin girl than a Strawberry Moon girl. On your KZfaq channel you have several videos to get to know her personality better. I would like to see you react to Lullaby live and Kness.

If u wanna see other sides of her i really recommend 1.IU- Lullaby kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7eGqrR8r9qldaM.html for an emotional ballad with lots of runs 2.IU- By the stream kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odBnZM2rtJu5aJ8.html this one iu said herself that is its her best performance. This one gives goosebumps! 3.IU-Can’t love you anymore (with Oh hyuk) for r&b track 3.IU-Bleuming/ Hold my hand live at her love poem concert 🎵

i think you'd enjoy her live red queen stages!!! when she performs the song in concerts, it has more of a jazzy sultry arrangement, which really suits her voice nicely :D

IU has such a huge discography though and as you go through them, you’ll definitely encounter a lot of surprises in terms of the range of her musicality. For now, I definitely suggest going through her Modern Times and Chat-Shire albums as the songs there are definitely different from what you’ve heard from her so far ☺️ ps. I kinda find it ironic when you’re surprised by her belting when she originally shot to stardom because of it lol

YES YOU SHOULD WATCH A DRAMA! "MY MISTER" IS THE BEST THERE IS!

Love this! You may wanna react to IU's live performance of Jamjam ♥️ Can't Love You Anymore🥀 By The Stream 🌊 Love Poem 💯 Zeze ⚘ Red Queen 👑 Blueming 💙 Hold My Hand 😍

I think you would enjoy her Modern Times album! Red Shoes is the title song that has an MV but the whole album is such a journey!

When you want IU's more vocal songs and more belting you can react the Live Clips of Love Poem, Dear Name, Lullaby perform in sketchbook and I recommend My Sea from her latest album Lilac sadly there's no full live performance for that so you can react just the audio or with lyrics it's 5:16 minutes stands for her birthday May 16😊

The great thing is that she wrote most of her song and writting as well. Please react to more her songs ^^

BLUEMING and HOLD MY HAND in Love Poem Concert 2019, LOVE POEM and BLUEMING in Golden Disc Awards, CELEBRITY MV and special live clip. BBIBBI Stage Mix and many more.

really really love how honest you were with your reactions. rare to see someone react with an inclination or background in music. it's great to end the day with your reactions! as for recommendation, i would recommend her rendition of the song "by the stream". i think you'll hear more of her low registers there and more of her chest voice. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odBnZM2rtJu5aJ8.html

She's a really good actress as well. Watch Hotel Del Luna. She's in it. It's on Netflix.

Don't be worried about IU almost having a kissing scene lol..she's actually a really famous actress too..she mostly gain a lot of fame internationally because of her dramas..she's in a drama called Hotel Del Luna and Persona which you can watch on Netflix..also Scarlet Heart which she acted with Exo Baekhyun too..My Mister which is named by most fans as her best drama..The Producers and of course the drama that everyone loves is Dream High..she has a lot more kdramas honestly you should check her acting side as well..IU is just one multi-talented woman honestly.

iu♡ i really love her modern time and chatshire album bc it included a lot of jazz or sassy type songs♡ Especially my favorite B side of her songs are love of B, red queen, black out, jam jam🎸 Anyway thank u for reaction☺ Subscribe👍💜

Ah whenever i listen to the strawbery moon's chorus it always remind me that the melody just came up to her mind then the song just start to process there (from the bts of mv)

The special clip & Live of Coin is so gorgeous. IU look handsome and beauty 🥰

Yasss!!! I was just commenting about her acting in another vid. If available in your region I highly recommend Hotel Del Luna.

I think that her drama hotel del Luna is really something for you 😂 btw love the quality of your video’s

Thank you for your reaction

If you want to be surprised try her modern times album.. It is a bit jazzy and definitely not safe in terms of kpop albums..

Her acting skill are incredible!!! She has hotel de luna, my mister and persona in Netflix

The songs on the same album as Coin and Lilac were SO GOOD, highly recommend

I like your honest reaction👍 I'd like to see your reaction to her "Blueming" and "Hold My Hand" LIVE concert performance (Seoul love poem concert 2019)

I'm think some good B-side songs that you would like are: Bad Day (Modern Times album) Every one has secrets Ft Gain ( Modern times album) Jam Jam concert clip (Palette album) Secret (Last Fantasy album) Last Fantasy (Last Fantasy album) A lot of her songs from her Modern Times are jazzy. BTW: I am not sure if Last Fantasy is a B-side or Title track.

My sea from her latest album, black out live concert

Please watch Blueming and Hold My Hand live ver from 2019 Love Poem Concert clips and also 이지금 and Jam Jam live ver from 2017 pallete concert live clips, you will see how versatile her voice is 🥰 Anyway, thanks for your reaction..

The concert pieces were recorded mainly from inside the concert hall (a choice of the sound designer) and the delay is the normal delay of sound travelling first electrically through the sound system, then again out the speakers and into the room. That's the real delay you see/hear in a really big hall if you are in the audience. Whether you like that experience or not is always a personal choice. . . .

♡

Watch her Love Poem.. and Pallete concerts..

iu so smart she knows how to making her own song properly

I think you'd like Lee Hi, please do a reaction to Lee Hi's Dingo " Killing Voice" and be captivated by her list of songs. BTW, IU is my #1 female solo artist with Lee Hi next.I think you'll be impressed by her.

#3 attempts of requesting these: @kzfaq.info/get/bejne/na6mrKZn1cfIeGQ.html --> IU 360 degree concert stage (2019), behind the scene The context : in 2019 she held Love Poem concert, and this is behind the scene of Love Poem concert in Seoul (2 days x 14.000 audiences. Yes, 14.000). There will be many super short live performances and preview. You can see how she behave in stage too @kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kMt3m66bxNGchqM.html --> her cute performances in Melody Forest 2015, you'll see how she talked w/ audience XD The context: her live stage in Melody Forest 2015, just a snippets of long performance. In this video she performed 3 songs, and all three are not full. 1st : cover of Wonder Girl (CMIIW) "I Feel you", then her debut song "Mia" and her earlier song "Hey (rock version)" . That three songs are kinda pop rock/ power ballads. You also can see her fun interaction with audiences. anyway, thank you very much :)

Bluming and Hold My hand Conert. Please🙏🏻

💜💜💜 my 👸🏼👸🏼👸🏼you should check out her drama hotel del Luna 👍👍

React IU BLUEMING please

I know what you mean =))))) because she is like that =)))))))

Listen to her Love Poem live clip, one of my favourites. It’s a live studio recording of a beautiful and meaningful song she wrote. She sang with so much emotions, sensitive, delicate and powerful. I think the sing is already a classic and is being covered by a number of artists. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hcmGoMR60a6-YaM.html
