The meaning behind this space is to get fans to imagine the IU they want to see.

However, it has been decided that the name of the album will be ‘아이유(IU)’, as it will be a ‘best album’ (Note: I’m guessing that means it contains Japanese versions of IU’s hit songs.) There will also be a small rectangle between the ‘아이(I)’ and ‘유(U)’. The promotion activities after her showcase are also still being drafted. The plan is to have 5 or 6 hit songs performed together with an orchestra during the showcase. The title song for her Japan debut and date of release has not been decided yet. Well if things don’t go well, I’ll just find fault with someone (Laughs).” After about 2 or 3 years after my debut, people started to know me, so won’t it be the same in Japan too? If I don’t do well straight away right now, it doesn’t mean I won’t be able to become a famous singer. When I debuted in Korea, nobody expected me to do well either. I’m making preparations with the mentality that I want to enjoy myself, rather than to get 1st place. I think of it as merely standing on a different stage. “There isn’t any great significance attached to my Japanese debut. We asked, “Is there really nothing troubling you at all?” Despite the burden of her overall performance in Japan weighing down on her, she looked calm and relaxed. She seems to have no intentions to come out on top as the ‘Gayo queen’ in the Japanese music industry. I’m not going to Japan with the mentality that I’m out to accomplish anything, but simply with a tranquil mind,” spoke IU with maturity. “We received lovecalls from Japan and I’m preparing for it with my mind at ease. She will be holding her Japan showcase at Orchard Hall on Jan 24th. The show will be broadcast on Jan 24th 9:30 AM.įollowing the success of her title song, ‘You and I’, IU said, “Next time, I’ll take on the challenge of bossanova, or jazz even.” In response to IU’s affections, Jung Dabin said, “To sing and dance at the same time, IU-unni is such a prodigy.’Īlso, IU told actor Kim Busun, “Your expressiveness gave me goosebumps” and Gong Hyungjin, “As a singer, it got me thinking, what makes a good stage?” I can sense you ulterior motives,” said IU reproachfully, although she didn’t mean it as a criticism. “After watching Dabin’s performance, I think I should hurry and come up with my follow-up song.

But she expressed, “What if I end up in last place?” In reply, IU showed the girl her full support and said, “As the judge, I’ll help you so that you won’t end up in last place.” “You look really pretty.” She sang the song as well as followed the choreography perfectly, showing great enthusiasm. One contestant in particular, received a lot of love from IU and it was none other than the child actress, Jung Dabin, reason being that she performed IU’s “You and I” for the contest. She did not hold back with her comments for every contestant, yet rounded off her comments kindly, creating a warm atmosphere during the filming. On the show, she was forthright with her opinions and gave witty comments to the contestants. IU participated as a judge on the singing auditions show for actors, SBS New Year Special ‘Actor POP-STAR’. I hope Korea’s figure skating will continue to make good progress.”

I’ll continue to support the figure skaters so that they can work even harder.

IU also said, “I’m a fan of Yuna-unni, so not only was I glad to sing this song, it’s also such an honour for me to be here with her today” and “I didn’t expect myself to be doing such a good deed. Kim Yuna said, “The number of training environments have increased compared to when I was younger, but there are still many lacking areas” and “I will continue to train hard and I hope to become an even more excellent athlete than I am now.” In doing so, they kept to the promise they made during the recording of ‘Ice Flower’, which was to “use all the profits from the digital single sales to benefit young figure skaters”.

These are profits from the duet ‘Ice Flower’, which they sang when filming for the SBS TV show, Kim Yuna’s Kiss and Cry, last year. ‘Figure skating queen’ Kim Yuna and the ‘Nation’s little sister’ IU donated 73 million won to the national figure skating team.
