In my opinion, IU is one of the best female vocalists in "k-pop". Her voice is crystal clear and emotive (and she is doing amazing job with live performances) and as far as I can see she also has a beautiful personality. I follow you for BTS reactions but I will happily join you on your way into IU rabbit hole :)

IU is my fav Female Kpop idol. She is a brilliant songwriter/poet. I often think she and Joon sits on the same table on their introspection, metaphors and profound writings. Plus she is also a brilliant actress! More IU content please!! Our top Khiphop artist 💜 Great video, Loui!

I consider myself a casual listener (borderline fan) of IU and I love her voice so much...but I have this thing when it comes to branching out into new territory that holds me back and it's the fear of leaving what's familiar. There's only brief moments where I feel "brave" enough to take a plunge into an artist's entire discography, but I've been dying to do that with IU...this video might just be the push I need to do so! Edit: YUP! It's gonna happen by the end of next week!

IU is the epitome of Koreas sweetheart. She is an incredible vocalist and songwriter. I'm so glad she's been interacting more with the tannies lately.

If you don't know she's also a very talented actor!

Jang Yijeong who is featured in her song “Friday” is elxcaptxn, the one that also help yoongi produced his albums. They 3 are friends with same age

I discovered IU after discovering BTS and she is honestly the only solo kpop artist that I enjoy. Her acting is ABSOLUTELY TOP TIER omg. The kdramas that she has been in are some of my personal favorites and her acting is so good that at times I forgot I was watching THE IU and was just watching the character. Her acting is That Good. “My mister” and “Hotel De Luna” are my faves. Then you turn around and remember she is a ppp star. She blows me away. I’m ARMY btw

IU is a crazy good vocalist! She's been nicknamed South Korea's little sister because she's so beloved there. Fandoms (ARMYs especially) playfully call her a chart/award eater because of that lmao, she wins awards easily and tops Korean charts pretty much immediately with her releases.

IU’s acting in My Mister is one of the best The kdrama is very deep and introspective Something I think you will enjoy

I dropped everything I was doing and flew over here. Obsessed with this talented woman and the emotional nuances she adds in her lyrics, her voice, and her performance. I'd love to watch some album reviews! and if you also watch her dramas or movies, I wouldn't be mad either.

The thing about IU is, she's been in the industry since she was a teenager; 13-14 years old, in international age. Others have said that she's known as, "Korea's Little Sister," among other wholesome nicknames, but all of this also means that she's been under unimaginable public scrutiny & pressure for a VERY long time. I think the closest equivalent in the Western industry is probably Britney Spears (in terms of being under a microscope + expectations around conduct, not the familial nightmare). IU has been expected to not just conform to S. Korea's socially conservative Idol standards, but to model them for everyone else - in many peoples' eyes, she's forever 16. I always liked her voice, but I fell in love with her music from, "23," on. That was the song that gave me a glimpse into how thoughtful, poetic & funny she is. Despite everything she's been through and seen, or perhaps because of it, she's remarkably reflective & self-aware. I can only imagine how amazing her voice & songwriting will be in years to come.

I love IU, shes definitely my fave female Korean soloist (although I love a bit of Taeyeon) and i think her popularity is completely deserved. Blueming and Eight are my fave songs of hers but tbh I need to delve deeper in her discography.

IU is not only amazing in terms of voice and visuals, but also her bravery and versatility to try different kind of genres throughout her career.

IU's probably the most beloved k-idol for us Armys, we got a lot of "carinho" for her (that's Brazilian Portuguese for having a certain cute and endearing affection for somebody). I saw your tweet on this, that Tribe would help you decide which artist to check out, and i'm glad you chose her first :) can't wait for her to come back releasing music, it's been a hot minute cause she's busy with her acting career, she's a wonderful actress too

i personally really love her vocal colour, shes one of my favourite female vocalists in kpop. 🔥

Being exposed to the idol/music industry so young had me worried but I’m glad she seems to be doing well after all the stuff she’s been through. IU the nations princess

IU is the epitome of a real musician.. a composer, lyricist, producer… who plays guitar, piano, recorder, harmonica, drums.. and who knows what else. She is practically a poet and musical prodigy since a very young age. Once you also discover her profound lyrics, it will move your soul. You won’t regret following her music & journey. It’ll change your life and how you view K-pop.

We love IU💜

So glad you checked more of her stuff, one of the best singer in SK in my opinion

i love IU's voice and music so much. i remember when i was in high school before i even got into "kpop" i'd just listen to her music while i study without really knowing the lyrics or her lore, so her songs are kinda nostalgic to me 😭

you watching iu’s killing voice is the realest reaction ever

IU is one of THE best vocalists out there

You will absolutely love her acting in Hotel Del Luna

The joyous, nostalgic "it was good while it lasted" message of Lilac is so special to me, because without reading the lyrics you'd never guess it was a breakup song and yet it makes so much sense. Lilac is a representation of choosing to remember the good times rather than allowing those memories to be tarnished by the end - choosing to treasure that person's time in your life rather than mourning their departure.

Queen IU ❤❤❤ She tries diff. genre everytime She is an amazing actress, host, producer, singer, composer, charity angel and sooo much more. To be honest she is the only one i've followed in kpop since 2010. She is the reason PAK exists 😁

IU is just amazing. Period. Brilliant writer, brilliant vocalist, brilliant actor. And she's so genuine. She is absolutely BELOVED in Korea. For good reason.

I first knew IU from the show Running Man.. i love her! And i like some of her songs so much specially the one with SUGA, Eight..

I love IU! I'm mostly just a fan of BTS and I listen to other K-Pop groups every once in a while... But IU is probably the only other K-Pop artist who I am a genuine fan of. She's a girl crush for sure 😭💜

IU is just. . . incredible. She always lifts my mood, her smile is angelic and her music is the absolute best.

I'm thinking about watching "Hotel Del Luna" again. If you haven't already, definitely check out this k-drama. Love her as an actress as well. 😁

The live version of her and Suga singing Eight for the first time is wonderful. She has featured Hobi, Suga and now V on her "Palette" show. "Is G-Dragon good?" (Inwardly drawn breath) oh Jonathan.... Tribe, your thoughts???

15:28 this song is what got really into IU, I used to be a more casual listener and would mostly be into her big hits but this song made me interested in seeing her other works and that’s how I got really into her artistry. I have the lyrics to this song on my wall in a painting I made, Eight is such a relatable song and so incredible. IU is one of my Spotify top artist, she ranked #2 for me last year and the year before (obvi BTS was #1 for the past 5 years for me 😂)

theres a music video for COIN!!!!!!! ^^ jonathan please also listen to these songs by IU: - Jam Jam - LOVE STORY ft Epik High (namjoon, yoongi and hoseok's rolemodel) - Can't love you anymore ft. OHHYUK - OBLIVIATE (yes, the same as in harry potter 😉)

You missed the ‘annyeong’ part in Lilac. I feel like you’ll love it since annyeong is one of korean words you know other than ‘eo-i eobso’ (ridiculous) 😂

IU is a queen, an angel, a goddess; she's everything

this is great timing bc i just watched her concert film in the cinemas last week and I’m still not over it 😂😂 looking forward to more of iu on ur channel 💜💜

I really love IU ❤️ she's a sweetheart ❤ love her music too❤

I love the song eight and lilac by iu ....her voice is beautiful!

Oh this is just all the vibes!! IU is always a win~ I had the biggest smile on my face the entire video! Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm, as always!

wow this was such a pleasant surprise but i LOVE iu!!! her voice is so beautiful and calming... and i loooove the melodies of her songs if that makes sense (not sure how else to explain it). i knew you would love her even before i finished the video! also side note: whoever recommended you these specific songs of hers to react to knew what they were doing

her lilac album and love poem album are so good. give it a try tribe

although I find her voice a bit nasally but damn her lyrics and melodies are fantastic! her b-sides are also very good

IU is such a gem, i like a lot of her songs!! that performance of her surrounded by plants reminded me of another artist with an angelic voice, her name is Aurora if you wanna check her out (Seed is one of my favorites of hers)

6:20 IU’s 23 is my song rn, since it’s my age and it’s such a relatable song

So happy you dived into IU, she is one of the artists I listen to and enjoy! Thanks for reminding me of why I enjoy her😊

Casual listener but I agree one of the best if not thee best female vocalist in kpop

I didn't dive into IU discography much but I've heard few songs and I watch IU Pallet. I love her voice and she's my favorite k-actress.💜 She has beautiful personality too. It's really hard not to like her💜 I'm here for BTS but I will definitely watch other music reactions with you. Maybe I find new artists I would like 🤷

oh my god i was waiting till when you would check her out. i never really got into IU even though i wanted to but then hobis pallet ep came out and i was enamoured by her too so i checked out lilac and i instantly loved it so much i knew you would like her as well ( strongly reccomending strawberry moon and celebrity by her. also sea )

You gotta watch some of the concert clips from her golden hour concert last year, it was amazingggggg

love her voice so much, her and jk make my insides hurt, but like, in a good way

so many good comments here abt IU, thank you :') iu is a special case in many things in S.korea entertainment industry, she's a multifaceted celebrity, and I cant explain everything abt her in just few sentences. In short, she's a legend. :D my recommendation : pls alternate between "personality" videos, MV, and lives IU's real charm is her personality ... my recomm : Eight live clip (Golden Hour concert) Blueming live clip (Love Poem concert) Palette MV Through The Night MV Celebrity MV [IU TV] So awesome! 360° concert [IU TV] Bonjour! Vlog from Festival de Cannes

i really love her voice

Not to flex but I own two IU albums, Palette and Lilac 💜✨ they were gifts and they are beautiful

18:03 this is a comfort watch for me, as well as Ailee’s episode in Killing Voice 💜

28, Bbi-Bbi, Lilac definitely my fav IU songs

love her voice and the messages of her songs specially eight, my sea, ending scene and love poem.

IU is so pretty wow!

Really love her voice and personality but know her more as actress

I LOVE IU 💜💜💜

Your reaction to lilac is so relatable 😂😂😂💜

I love IU❤ Sorry but now you must watch Hotel del Luna 😅

FINALLY YOU LISTEN TO HER SONGS, WISHING FOR ANOTHER VIDEO FOR IU. SHE'S SUCH A GREAT SINGER, SONG WRITER, PRODUCER, AND ACTRESS. THIS VIDEO MADE ME HAPPY.

Lilac is such a good song omg? Imma check out iu..

im so glad you finally reacted to iu!! been waiting since iu palette with suga. some of my favorite iu songs are through the night (complete), can’t love you anymore, above the time & love poem please react to these next!!

I came across IU first as an actress before I knew she made music because I'm more into kdramas than kpop and that was a learning curve in improvement that made me like her a lot. She's very talented and has great range and emotion in her voice. Though her songs tend to be hit or miss with me I appreciate her as an artist and genuinely think shes great. I prefer more when she doesnt lean too much into her breathy tone, which she likes to do a lot especially in early songs, because her full voice is excellent; probably why eight is still one of my favorites from her.

IU is a queen 👑 💜😘

Yo Loui ! Amazing IU rabbit hole you choose to follow here. Thank you for your funny and energetic reaction. Wuz up with your machete dancing dude ?

funny you mentioned her stamina coz that woman may look small but she’s known for her long concerts, with some even reaching 5 hours and 5 hours 30 minutes! :)

I discovered IU thanks to Suga. Now I listen to her with pleasure.

Love her voice and her music/songwritting, plus she seems like an amazing human being!! I don't think you've done her 'Palette' episodes with Hobi and Yoongi, right? I hope you do them at some point, they're really great!

An Army’s cannon event 😭😭

My favorite IU’s song is ‘the red shoes’ 👠

Hi! Thank you for deep diving into IU!

So happy you finally got into her music!! Her ballads are mostly my favourites though I love her pop sounds just as much. Lilac gave me so much happiness and comfort during covid lock down, it has a special place in my heart 🥹 Thanks for the great video!! 💜

idk if anyone mentioned this and i’m a bit late but the “jang yijeong” that was featured in one of her songs (Friday) is the same guy known as ELCAPTXN who produced PLENTYYY of songs with yoongi and was even on tour with him

IU? I'M SOOOO HERE SHE'S MY GIRL

I absolutely love IU; I also love how you have always done reactions to new artists by checking out various songs in one go. Keep it up man!!

you’re energy is everything I love your lil dances 😅💜

I really enjoyed that! Been meaning to check out IU. Thanks for taking us along in your journey.

Omg this made me so happy. Thanks for reacting to her 😊

IU is talented & humble a perfect role model. Sad to see that new girl group never really mention her. They're too busy naming artist with media play their inspiration. They just want fame. IU is a gem.

oh my gooood i need u to go into her acting too please!! absolutely life changing shes so so good ,, i rec my mister

OMG YES I WAS WISHING FOR THIS! Thank you! Made my weekend 💜

IU is the best!!!! ❤🎉

IU is one of my favorite korean soloists. Between her and Younha, it's a toss up who is my favorite. They have botb collabed with BTS rapline members which is how I was introduced to both of them.

I love your iu reaction

You must react her live performances, super incredible ❤

I can't believe I'm seeing loui reacting to IU 😭 aside from BTS, IU is my favorite singer that I respect so much.

I only know Through The Night because of that fancam of JK watching her sing it at an awards show lol. She's an incredible vocalist and she seems like a nice person 💜

Heyyy plant person here. That snake plant looks good but you should get a proper pot lol. It needs a drainage hole so that the water doesn’t just sit there forever rotting the roots. Also make sure you protect the tips. If a spider plants tips get broken and turns brown, they’ll stop growing. They aren’t dead but they’ll never grow taller. Protect the tip! Lol

on the second song and you're literally watching all my favourite songs of hers, it's like you asked me for a recs list hahah

OOOOH I was waiting for this video 💜

Once falling into the rabbit hole of IU, there is no exit. 😊😊

20:21 on Fridays I always sing Friday by IU on my drive home from work 💜

Wow that was great.. i had fun Hope you will have a IU marathon again soon. Some recommendations are Coin official mv Blueming live love poem concert clip Hold my hand love poem concert clip Last night story official mv Last night story and blackout live concert clip Above the time special live clip Zeze special live clip.. There are many more.. actually our IU has vast discography. I have recommended some according to your taste.

LOUI i had the worst day ever. thank you for this

I love IU. Been a fan for over a decade.

her genre of song i usually don’t vibe with, it’s too bubblegum pop for me, but i do have a few songs of hers that i love, like her more chill sadder songs 😂

IU is a good singer
