so glad she debuted as solo artist not girlgroup member

Her eyes so beautiful. From 15 to 25, her eyes has not change. It likes a shining star.

15 years old here..

Today she is known by the title "NATION'S LITTLE SISTER". She is the most respected kpop idol in the history today because of her unique vocals.She has really come a long way. QUEEN IU FOREVER. 👑💛

i can't believe people ignored this talented girl during her debut days :( EDIT: omg i just realized after two years,, i got 1.2k likes lol but look at her now, dominating charts every time she releases a new song, whether an ost, single, an album, she’s just DOMINATING aaaaa i’m beyond proud of what she has achieved as the years go by

she was 15 in this?? im 15 now bUT I DONT LOOK THAT PRETTY

Debuting as a soloist at 15 years old and doing THIS....Q U E E N S H I T

IU debuted at 15 with this song, gained her stardom at 18 and is considered as a national singer now.. While I'm here about to turn 20 still a potato supporting IU

I wish she would re-release this song. Its such a masterpiece. So theatrical and dramatic. Since she has achieved success through her hard work, this song will receive the love and attention it deserved back then.

she's just 15 here??? why does she still sound the same and looks the same as today??? you're gifted IU we love you

she was born to be a star for real flawless in every way

It pains me how she's been mistreated by haters before plus the emotion of this song is overflowing.

The reason why she is the most respected artist in kpop history, It's because of her strong passion in music! She struggled a lot because of haters at that age but that does not hindrances for her to continue making great music and also she is not scared to do some different concept but it always look wholesome, aside from that she is very strong and have a deep passion. that is why she is my role model, my ultimate queen IU.

I'm here after *CELEBRITY*

This video shows how talented she is even at the age of fifteen. I can't believe people ignored her talent in her debut days and sent hate. IU definitely deserves the best. Love from India 💜

난 갠적으로 이 노래 아주 좋아함. 아이유 데뷔곡이기도 하지만 뭔가 지금은 조오금 볼 수 없는 처절한 감정연기와 발성이 너무 좋음

stop bringing up jungkook and make it as if she doesn't gain any popularity and recognition w/out jungkook, please stop mentioning jungkook and appreciate the sound of goddess thanks

Imagine working hard for your first debut stage and getting insulted while singing😭.They told her to get out of the stage and even called her a pig. One girl yelled " Did you even practice!!!" while she sang the first line.They didn't even respect her hard work.I don't understand why they did that.I get Goosebumps when I hear this song. Her vocals are so amazing ❤️.No wonder Jungkook is her fanboy.He even sang this song on his audition.Only one legend can understand another legend. I am so happy that she overcame all this and became one of the most respected solo singer in Korea.I am sure those girls who yelled at her are regretting now. I love IU❤️

She's so cute but there's so much sadness in her eyes, i get it that the song is a bit tragic but I feel like she's really sad like literally!!!

here after LILAC, Queen IU has really been through a lot and now her achievements are overflowing. I am so proud of her. WE STAN A STRONG QUEEN!

어린나이에 데뷔를 해서 긴장도 많이하고 떨릴텐데도 아이유만의 감정을 잘 담아서 부른 것 같아서 좋다..미아 진짜 너무 좋다..데뷔곡이 밝아도 좋지만, 이렇게 간절한 마음을 담아 부른 곡도 많이 기억될 것 같다..누가 뭐래도 미아 최고...

I can see how much she has improved ♡ still a true talented artist back then and now. IU is real (:

Birth of a superstar.

At 15, to produce such power vocals and such emotion is just amazing! Extraordinary talent then, and today an absolute legend! salute to the one and only IU

That time people didn't recognize her talent. But now, she's the most popular and respected solo artist in K-pop industry. I'm proud of her(IU). 💝

I don't know why they recjected her but I fall in love with her voice I listened her song 4 to 5 times in day I love her voice so much love you IU keep it up

This is one of masterpiece debut song of a korean female soloist . There is no one in south korea who debuted a ballad song with orchestra like IU.She is awsome and stunning in her own way.

You can feel her emotion when she sing this. It's not easy to stand on a stage alone for the first time. I'm so proud of her. Look how 'big' she became now. 🥰

The best solo debut at that time.

This debut song is everything really, it shows how great her voice is, this song is really IU

Born to be a star💕

15살치곤 예쁘고 노래도 잘부르는거 같은데 너무 저 어린 나이의 아이유님을 성숙하게 보는거 아닌지..;

It's her first performance and she was getting curses here..thank you for not giving up baby IU or else the world would have lost a gem

I envy her. the fact that she's now 24 but she looks younger than before // *cry Han river*

Iu is such a cutie here but i’m crying rn maybe bc i’m reminded of how cruel the audience of her debut stage were considering of what she’s been through! Look at what she is now! I’m so proud! 😭💞

I watch this right after finishing my scarlet heart.. u hv my respect IU!😘😘

Wow her voice is so mature at the age of 15, and I really like this style of song for her

iu bfore n now... here she look so nervous....but her look nvr change since then...

it gave me goosebump. I can feel her power. She's so stunning... Was she know that she'll come to be one of the most popular artist in kpop industry??

I am a new IU fan from Singapore, knew her talent through acting in Kdrama My Mister on Netflix this year ... and now i am her bigger fan of her music... so glad that her debut was same date as my birthday 18th Sept ... wish her all the best in years to come! Blueming! Eight! Love Poem 💖💖💖

미아는 데뷔때 창법이 좋아요 좀 거칠고 절규하는 듯한 이노래는 지금 나와야 할 노래인데 데뷔곡으로 나오다니 휴~~~ 명곡임

Coming here after Hotel del Luna and becoming very curious about IU and her music. To think she is 15 is really crazy, probably quite unknown back then but not anymore thats for sure😌😌😌

Back then, Everyone hated IU for this song. They said that the song is not appropriate and deep for her age.. but guess what.. IU is now singing the same type of meaningful song when she got older and she's famous because of that. *I'm crying because I've been a fan of her since Good day era*

IU...an idol for 14 years now...I can't believe it. And her debut song is her first few songs were not popular at ALL. It's just sad for me! I love you IU.

진짜 애기네 .. 기여워 ..

귀엽다 .. 이때 힘들었을 겄같은데 지금까지 와줘서 정말 고맙고 뿌뜻하다 우리 징짱 꼭 행복하기 ❤️❤️

look at her baby face. she had so much passion in her. good for her she has come so far

I now understand that whoever called her a pig was just being a toxic stan of some other group that IU was maybe competing with because no sane person could even begin to associate this girl with lack of talent, or sub par looks..she looks stunning here wtf...and the emotion in her voice omg..so much maturity at that age. I think people destined for greatness are the ppl who are put through the hardest of tests...like she had already had a difficult childhood..then rejected by so many agencies, then having to choose between college or auditions..then having to hear so many discouraging comments like this..weaker ppl would have chosen the safer option 10 hardships ago but IU held strong to her soul and passion...and now she is at the top. i cannot understand how she can be so sincere and pure after having been through so much...she's a jewel

She has not aged one bit omg my queen ❤❤

Are people crazy?! how was this not a hit? This is one of the most musical, beautiful melodies I have ever heard. It sounds heartbroken and lost, and the instrumentals alone are so powerful her voice is already unique. I wish I knew Korean just to be able to sing this! ...yk what? I'm gonna search up the romanized lyrics rn and give it a shot

Today she is the First Korean Female Artist (Solo and Girl Group) to hold a concert at Jamsil Olympic Stadium. Talk about being powerful, A true empress

"Valeu a pena? Tudo vale a pena quando a alma não é pequena." - Fernando Pessoa. A alma gigantesca da IU fez ela vencer a rejeição de inúmeras pessoas que não conseguiram reconhecer seu imenso talento. IU por algum motivo nunca desistiu. Por alguma razão ela sempre acreditou em seu potencial. Hoje ela desfruta o sucesso de anos de trabalho intenso e principalmente de não ter desistido lá no início quando todos fecharam a porta na cara dela e disseram para ela desistir. Por não ter desistido, por ter persistido e vencido, obrigado, IU. Você inspira milhões de pessoas com seu talento. Mesmo que não possa te conhecer verdadeiramente, sou grato por ter um pouquinho de você entrando em meus ouvidos e chegando em meu coração todos os dias.

전설의 시작 ♾

와 진짜 넘 귀엽다 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 진짜 씩씩하게 부른다 아이유 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Even I'm still impressed with her gift of singing. She's only 15 at the time of debut and already sang such a complex beautiful song with feeling. Korean fans are hard to please I guess and expect the little cutie to only sing the cute shallow songs with a lot of dancing and aegyos.. Not expect such a mature and deep song. Thanks God IU's hard work paid off and now she could sing whatever song she likes.. Love IU.. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

아이유는 진짜 어렸을때부터 노래에 소질이 있었던것같다. 데뷔때 별 보컬트레이닝도 많이 못받았을텐데 이정도 실력이었다면 정말 잘하는듯.. 얼굴도 지금이랑 달라진거 없고 신인치고 너무 감정도 풍부하다.. 아이유 흥하세요!

A great loss for jyp 😂 even the CEO of jyp said he would fire those people who rejected IU during the audition 😂

아이고 지은언니 진짜 아기였구나 이때 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 지금까지 잘 버텨와줘서 고마워요 사랑해 ❤️

Wtf if this is considered as a pig, then i might be called dinosaur

Her expression are so real and pure unlike others, I cried.

이때 노래들도 너무 좋은데 다들 최근 발표되는 노래만 좋아하는 건 아닌가? 하긴 에잇은 너무 좋아.

Glad that I found out about this song, it sounds so great and her voice conveys exactly what the song is trying to say. She has done a very good job over these years, Im so happy for her.

Iu is the most beautiful Korean girl I have ever seen 😘😘😘😘😘

wow! i just discovered her by watching dream high i did not know that she can sing this good ... bravo

what a flawless voice.. and the fact that she's 15 years old here???? a queen indeed

she was only 15 here, dang she never gets old

Now she is my favourite artist .....

Who came to see this video after being an official UAENA?? ♡♡♡

Kung alam ko na nanjan kana sa simula palang na supportahan na kita sorry na huli ako kay tagal kitang hinahanap at 2015 lang kita nakita, hangang ngayon hindi parin ako nagsasawa sa kanta mo sana hangang sa mag ka anak ako anjan kapadin pupunta parin ako ng concerts mo kahit may family nako, iu thankyou ikaw ang dahilan bakit na babawasan un depression ko saranghaeyo iu,

Omo she's only 15 years old here? wow she didn't change, she's still young and she's more cute now and all of her songs are so good to hear everyday, such an angelic voice, she has a genuine heart and a lovely voice hayyst, such an idol unnie, Love you😘 You started here, so many fans hated you but now so many fans love you and you call us UAENA😍💜💜 #uaena forever #maaena forever💜

Aw little IU so cute, how far she came is truly incredible.

이때 중딩이였는데 얼굴 지금이랑 별 다를게 없네 너무 귀여움

Fun fact, she was so unknown at this time, a reporter thought her name was Mia and that the name of this song was called "IU".

It so easy to see how nervous she was during the first half of this performance. She loosened up in the second half especially hitting those high notes. Another video taken shortly after when she sang the song on a different stage was really good and she had very little nervousness!

How can they bullied at this talent girl? How can they curse at her first stage that she was so excited about it? I’m glad that she’s successful now.

waah! tis a voice that would give you goosebumps.

역시 아이유노래 조으다..♡ 이유 너무 어렸을때라서 하이힐이 너무 안어울린다ㅋㅋ 귀여웡!!

To the agency(cies) who rejected IU back then, just cry in the corner u just wasted a wonderful talent right here💜

From this to today our jiueni made her way and became a living legend. Idc what other says she is a prodigy and very less people come into such category

I swear IU never had an ugly phase

그때랑 지금이랑 예쁜건 똑같네ㅎㅎㅎ

얼굴이 딱 봐도 앳되네요ㅎ 애기애기하네용~:-)

And next year she'll be having her 10 year anniversary ❤ fighting, jieun-a!

when puberty hit u well 😄😭

I can see that she had a stage fear but she did so well I'm shook edit:thanks for the likes

She was only 15 and stand with power there💕 Look at her now dominating everything I feel sooo proud💜

*Clap*Clap *Sobbing so hard I'm so blown away!!! IU was so adorable and good here!!

HER VOICE OH GOOOD DEEEEYM

She looks like a princess from a fairy tale with her looks, her emotions and her amazing vocals.

Look at her now, she used to be that girl being cursed out by the people around her. But she showed that her dream is greater than anyone throwing stones at her. I'm really proud of her. What a strong lady. ❤️

tears always drop everytime i hear this. i cant imagine how heavy if i was on iu's shoes people mocked her because of her appearance.

EGAD!! She is incredible!!! Way to go IU!!! What a lovely voice!!!

her eyes look like a galaxy with a lot of stars, thats so cute!

스타일링은 별 차이 없고 노래도 잘부르는데 애기애기하네 ㅠㅠ 미아 개명곡

I can see why Jungkook is her fanboy ..

I have been singing this song way back then and I found out just now that it was IU's song. What a goddess

You can really hear how nervous she sounds at the beginning and then gradually relaxes as she lets her voice out

This such a powerful song to debut with and she slayyedddd!!! I literally cannot belive that people didn't take her seriously back then :'(

Im not a fan of her but I have to admit she controls her voice so well and looks so peaceful. Like how does that come out of her mouth? I dont get it

debuting at 15 must be scary but queen iu can do anything
