What song should we listen to next for IU? 😅 There’s a lot to choose from.

IU is simply unique. As another commenter mentioned - have a look at Hyori Homestay to see her true personality. It's kind of heartbreaking in a way how humble and selfless she is...even at a time (2017) when she was arguably at the peak of her popularity. You would never know she was a major celebrity. She is so well grounded as a person. The agency she signed with was not a major one (they were nearly bankrupt) - and IU essentially recovered that company...and has stayed with them (they created a new company, EDAM, for her - with her first manager as the CEO). You can see her freedom to control her image and music (whatever genres she feels like), etc...and that isn't typically the case with other artists. But she's not typical either.

In Korea, IU is the number one singer in cumulative streaming and downloads on domestic music sites, including both groups and solos. She ranked 2nd five times and 3rd once once in the Koreans' Most Favorite Celebrity Survey every year from 2018 to 2023. (She was pushed to 3rd place. That year, BTS took second place.) I think it's great that she's been at the top for 16 years in the Kpop market, where trends change rapidly. She said at a concert this year that her goal is to be a singer on stage by the time she's 70. I sincerely hope that she will remain a beloved singer for a long, long time.

IU is called the Queen of Honesty, she just speaks her mind without fear because she's so intelligent & sincere. There's video about those moments.

If you want to see the real Lee Jieun, you can watch Hyori's B&B, a reality TV series where she works for Lee Hyori & her husband who turned their home in Jeju Island into a B&B homestay with their interactions with the diverse groups of guests. She remains friends with them & one of the guests, the 3 siblings even attended her recent concerts in Seoul.

Discovering IU's personality is a real journey, because it's like her discography: never the same 😂 ❤❤❤

This is fan-made Documentary film. , not the official one but well made by true love of Uaena. IU’s narration voice in this vdo was from her former interviews most of them were from early years of her career Her real documentary film was in a dvd which included in “ Pieces “ album (limited for preordered only). Enjoy your vdo as always.

Few facts about IU:- 1. Except during and for acting and sometimes for performance, it's difficult to see IU cry publicly. There's one interview, when this is being pointed out when at that moment, IU did cry after seeing one of her fellow artist finally debut. 2. IU take care of her team/staff very well and many stayed with her for long. In fact, in one of her earlier contract renewal negotiation, IU stated that her one condition for her contract renewal is that all her staff will stay and get a raise 3. As shown in the documentary, IU was shouted off the stage during her debut, and some audience in factr called her pig (IU was chubbier when she was younger). During one of her first chart winning performance, fans (mostly girls) of boy groups were shouting for her to be off stage, as they were eagerly waiting for their idols to perform. Only one fan shouted loud enough to cheer IU, and from that moment IU's goal is to make her fan(s) happy. That one fan has been a true Uaena ever since. 4. IU is an award winning singer, actress, songwriter and lyricist. In fact, I first knew IU when I watched one of the best k-drama of all time, the underrated "My Mister". Her performance in that drama is mindblowing. Watch it...it's really a great drama and her acting is superb. 5. IU always championed for mental health among the artists. Reason being 3 of her famous friends commit suicide, 2 i believe in the same year, and IU got to know about the death of one of those friends, while performing at her concert. This is captured in the documentary. Fans believe the song "Eight" was produced in memory of her 3 friends. P/s: her co-star in "My Mister" also commited suicide recently.

I agree with Loo. IU is a light for a lot of her fans. I have heard her greatness years ago but I just became a really big fan last year and it was such good timing too because I was always stressed out and anxious every day at that time but when I started to listen to her music and watched her videos, it gave back my strength and joy. And I started to be more optimistic and believe that I can always get through a bad day bcoz of her. She is a saviour to a lot of people. ❤

A perfect human being. She is like my guardian angel, without her purest smile and comforting voice l don’t know how could I go through my cancer treatment process..

Enjoyed watching your reaction to this fan made documentary. You both have really picked up the essence of who IU as an artist and human being in such a short time span. Looking forward to more IU reactions! ❤

Thank you for the reaction to moore IU content. Especially since you choose non music content, very nice thank you for your elaboration.

The bears are so cute, if we had one that'll be awesome, but I don't have ideas for it. Love dandy tho. Btw, actually i got into IU because of her lyrics and she is just a genius for that. I was actually a boygroup fan, just because they look cool. After some time getting into IU, i found myself smiling to everything she does. one time I saw myself in a big mirror beside me, me smiling and it's a long time since forever, I realized how beautiful I am. My insecurities were gone, I can pick myself up, I can make myself happy from little things, things can go wrong, but I can find a new path with some positivity. She was my comfort, and I just want to be like her, as a human. With her cuteness, funniness and coolness at a different level. She always has something to talk about and to show to us that can be a heart opener. ~Thank you for reading. U - you Ae - love Na - me = you love me it works in both ways, to me. for fans and IU herself

I found her through a drama hotel del luna. At first i was like what a pretty and cute girl... Few episodes later i came to know how good actress she is. Few days later i saw a KZfaq shorts of her live performing through the night. Since then she is my favourite singer. Everday i feel I love her a little more than yesterday. She is my favourite celebrity in the whole world. P.s. i liked loo's character more in previous videos but now i feel i gradually falling for lean's personality 😂😂. You both are a perfectly balanced duo as sassy and soft girls.

Unlike other reactors, it's nice to see you guys having deep conversations and enjoying it through IU. Maybe it's because you're writers. Since the age of 23, IU has written almost her own song lyrics, lyrics are very poetic and contain good metaphors. I'm glad that I met people who can recognize it. Most of IU's songs have relatively less explosive rhythms or melodies like other idol songs. But if you listen to it for a long time, it's comfortable and addictive. And once you get to know the lyrics and the background of the song, you fall in love even more. I hope you can have a richer and more enjoyable life through IU, just like I did. Thank you for your good reaction video ^^

Thank you for the IU documentary. I find that the more I learn about her; the more I like her.

thank you for the IU content. This documentary starts off with her showing resilience as a young singer. What it skips over is why she is so resilient. She was living separately from her parents for years (financial troubles), living with her grandmother and relatives...attending 3 different middle schools, and she was happy to basically live at the company training studio and have access to food and a place to sleep. That makes you pretty tough - and also very loyal to everyone around her. Her IU Team is recognized essentially as an extended family. I'd suggest watching IU TV episodes. You get to know those around her, and they are so precious not only to IU but to her fans...as they have been such an important support system for her. Other good documentaries include: Another uplifting and good documentary: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMmAYJyf3bjTfnk.html Here's a documentary that goes more into her childhood and other challenges: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brtgmZmkmsWvn2g.html

She is also philanthropist she donates to a lot of charities ie Single parents, disability, elderly, children etc.. every year since she earned money. 😂

Gosh how did u know she did rebel against her company. She fought for what she wanted to do with her music direction.

It's impossible to choose some but "Killing voice of IU" would be a good introduction of her 20's, and songs like Autumn morning, Eight, Hold my hand, Meaning of you, Friday, Twenty three, Palette, Through the night, Lilac, are in there, and songs like Celebrity, Coin, Love poem, Blueming, Epilogue, have MV, and songs like Havana, My sea, Rain drop, The shower, Heart, Knees can be found in various concert, and songs like Good day, You and I, the red shoes are more earlier songs and various stage versions. Any would be a good choice.

When you have some free time on hand, watch these 2 recent (2024) talk shows (English subbed) with IU as their guest. You will get to see the natural and genuine IU. Enjoy. m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obuUeq5ztK-YaaM.html Ep 172 with iu m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLyIgc9-rtTFnKM.html&pp=iAQB Ddeunddeun ep38 with iu

Thank you.. Proud to be UAENA.. Proud of you always jieun

What does Uaena mean? ‘You’(U) is from English, ‘ae’(愛) is Sino-Korean for ’love‘, and ‘na’(나) is Korean for ‘me’. IU’s official Daum fancafe used to be called ‘U愛나 Fancafe’ and over time, IU’s fans were called ‘Uaena’. Eventually, IU’s official fanclub started recruiting in 2017 and is also called ‘UAENA’. Why are IU fans also called biscuits or star candies? IU said on her fancafe that male fans are 건빵 (geonbbang or biscuits) because that’s her favourite snack and female fans are 별사탕 (byeolsatang or star candy) because IU used to have very few female fans, just like the rare star candies you would find in a pack of biscuits. Also, antis are milk. What else does IU call uaena? IU has also called uaena 제비꽃 or ‘violet flowers’ as her fans are quiet, but always there for her. She used the message, ‘Violet flowers, I’m always on your side’ for her first soundwave (couple) ring with uaena and also used the violet flower logo on one side of her custom in-ear monitors (the other side is the uaena logo).

I wish more videos about Ji-eun would focus on her background, because her young life was a real struggle and she suffered in poverty for a long time before she became IU. I think there are some short videos that talk about it, but it would be great if there were a more comprehensive overview of her.

Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤

Discovering IU was the best thing that happened to me... I really changed a lot when i started supporting her, i became more humble and a lot more kinder because of her.. she.. really inspires me a lot. Her songs too are so good and the messages behind those lyrics can be touching, healing, sad, can have a lesson, or you can relate to it.. And.. I also support her as a actress.. srsly as someone who's 15 y.o following her made me more a better person than i am in the past.. Ah.. srsly IU is the best..! IU JJANG!! [Sorry for my bad English I couldn't express that much on why I love her in eng hehe I'm not thay fluent lol]

she's one beautiful talented m.v song writer singer and brilliant actress watch her in my mister HOTEL DEL LUNA how talented she is love both movies I wish her the best I can see in this documentary how nasty people can be with her as a young age look where she is now with her working hard and not giving up very proud of her❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

IU is the idol of almost all idols and a national singer.

I found IU through Hotel Del Luna. IU is my escape from reality

Yes that was RM at 39:50 🙂 BTS were doing interviews in the U.S. and they asked each member what is the first album they bought. Jungkook replied “Do you know IU?” because that was his first album and he’s also a Uaena. RM then clarified to the interviewer who IU was. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/htl0h7B9zrnaYas.htmlsi=vSv8yqJG3O2kd-rT It’s hard to find a documentary of IU depicting her past cuz she hasn’t really disclosed her childhood struggles much in interviews. I’ve personally never seen her talk about it, other than one on YT of a man narrating her life of poverty, but don’t know about its accuracy.

You should also react or check "IU 'Shh..' (/W My First World)"...It's an interview on the background of the song Shh...the interesting part is that her mother is the interviewer....

I - is Jieun (IU's real name) U - is the fans So without fans (without U), there will be no IU.

저는 아이유를 대스타반열에 올린 노래인 '좋은 날'이라는 노래를 통해서 아이유의 대팬이 되었는데, 그 노래가 담긴 뮤직비디오는 지금까지의 제 삶을 통틀어 가장 신선한 충격을 준 뮤비입니다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 제게서 아이유는 언제나 제가 2번째로 좋아하는 가수였는데, 그러다가 '나의 아저씨' 라는 아이유 주연의 드라마가 수 많은 사람들로부터 진정한 인생드라마라고 불리우며, 워낙에 명성이 자자해서, 우연찮게 보게 되었는데, 이 드라마를 통해서 어찌나 많은 눈물을 쏟아내었던지 모를 정도로, 말로 다 설명하기 어려울 정도로, 너무도 벅차도록 가슴시리게 따뜻한 감동과 감명의 충격이 밀려오는, 진정 최고의 보석같은 예술작품이라고 할 수 있는 드라마였더랬습니다. 지금은 제가 세상에서 가장 좋아하는 이 드라마를 통해서, 아이유의 진가를 새롭게 알게 되면서, 이제 아이유는 제가 세상에서 가장 좋아하는 연예인이 되었는데요, 바로 이 드라마를 통해서 아이유의 엄청난 연기력 뿐만 아니라, 그동안의 아이유의 노래실력과 더불어 여러 존경스런 인품 등에 대해 서까지 새롭게 알게 되고, 다시금 아이유의 진가를 재발견하게 되면서, 지금은 아이유라는 늪에 완전히 푹 빠지게 되었네요. ^^

love this! hope you can react to iutvs :)

50:55 yes please!, yes to more documentaries😊

Thank you for this i love it ❤ I wish you can react to iutv it's in her KZfaq channel

For what it's worth, the booing incident was not an adult, it was a young girl (probably teenager) who was there to cheer on a guy singer. Still, the booing was rude, and if that girl's parents heard about it, maybe they would question whether she should be allowed to attend another performance very soon. But I don't know. . . .

❤❤❤

Me gusta leer sus comentarios Pero IU me alegra los días , soy lla una persona mayor , y ver sus entrevistas y oír su música , es bastante para mi
