There isn't much if anything IU can't sing. But she is far from only a singer. I know what you meant when you said that, but it gave me the opening to educate you a little about one of the most remarkable talents in the world today. I discovered IU through her acting. In particular her leading role in the kdrama My Mister where she captured my heart from the first episode. I didn't know she was a singer until later several weeks later. After hearing her I became a fan of hers. It didn't take long before I knew her vocal talent was on an elite level. I knew she was one of the best vocalist in the world today. In January on 2023 Rolling Stone Magazine agreed with me and placed her on their list of the 200 Greatest Singers of ALL Time, becoming the 1st korean singer to make the list. She debuted in Sept of 2008 at the age of 15. She has had over 31 songs reach #1. She has won numerous awards including Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Artist of the Year, Producer of the Year, Song Writer of the Year to name a few. She is also a very successful model for several international, national and local brands including being a Global Ambassador for GUCCI. She was nominated for Best Actress at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. She is ranked as the 4th richest celebrity in Korea. Come join us down the IU rabbit hole, there is plenty of room.
Thanks for all the info! Super interested in checking out more from IU! Insane vocals and from what you wrote she is very successful in all field of the industry!
IU is her own genre. Thank you for the reaction. IU's music video for her pre-released track, 'Love wins all' was released on her official SNS channel at midnight between 23rd and 24th January and has become a hot topic. As soon as the video was posted, the unique video aesthetics of director Um Tae-hwa, who directed the passionate performance of IU and BTS V, resulted in 'nth viewing' (t/n: repeated viewing) by not just uaena, but music listeners as well Regarding the main keywords that led to the 'nth viewing', her agency released this interpretation guide and short interview with director Um Tae-hwa. 1. The "square" (t/n: cube) chasing after the main characters The identity of 'square', which relentlessly pursues the two of them, is the most divided among the fans (t/n: It is actually a cube, but calling it a 'square' is a more explicit way of describing a discriminatory world that only squares fit and not circles). Fans responded with various theories, such as, alien forces that have occupied the world", "zombies infected with a virus' and 'ghosts that cause odd phenomena (t/n:). 'Square' refers to the discrimination against the main characters and can also be interpreted as various kinds of discrimination and oppression that are prevalent in our daily lives. 2. The meaning behind the KEY ITEM, a 'camcorder' Next is the existence of a 'camcorder' that appeared in every promotion teaser. The time period background in the video is the present, but the scenes that are taken with the camcorder show a world that was intact before it became ruined. The lens of the camcorder represents a filter of love. It can also be viewed as an important device that can be used to see beautiful things in the world, beyond the internal and external appearances of characters. In the world within the camcorder, rather than their messy appearance in reality, they look lively and tidy and they eat delicious food that is nicely prepared for them and enjoy the happiness they have only imagined, while wearing glossy dresses and tuxedos. . 3. Outer appearance of the main characters The curiosity of Internet users exploded at the outer appearance of the main characters. There are many symbols in the music video, which show a 'survival story in a dystopian world, of those who cannot speak and those who only see the world with their left eyes. If you look closely at IU's lips, there is a small chain hanging there, which means that it is difficult for her to fully communicate with the world. V also has a white lens in his left eye, so even at a glance, it seems that the two of them will have many difficulties in navigating the difficulties of the world. Nevertheless, in a world ruined by the 'square', they have no choice but to rely even more on each other, as they try to overcome adversity until the very end, even when they are hurt and exhausted. 4. Why the wedding dress and tuxedo? Lastly, it is the wedding dress and tuxedo. IU and V chose a wedding dress and a tuxedo from the ruins. Here, a wedding dress and a tuxedo is the most clichéd way of symbolizing the 'fruit of love'. In the music video, the two of them put on these clothes, take pictures, sing and have fun together, doing things that have been difficult for them to do in their daily lives and enjoy some happiness momentarily. However, the 'square' eventually destroys their bodies, leaving behind only the 'clothes' they were wearing. The two are implied to be floating in the air on the last camcorder screen, which means they can fly freely, free from all kinds of oppression and pressure. Crucially, the dress and tuxedo falling from the sky also implicitly question whether conventions that are considered meaningful and important in real life actually really show the true essence of things.
See this is why i love kpop and their videos because they always have such great meaning to them. It makes it so much more intriguing, especially when people start theorizing. Thank you so much for all the info! 😄
IU fandom name : Uaena IU/Lee Ji-eun is a South Korean actress, singer, songwriter and record producer. She debuted in 2008 with her 1st EP or 1st Album "Lost and Found". IU is called "Nation's Little Sister". I love her music so much. She is phenomenal. She is one of my favorite solo artists.
I'm now listening to love wins all again and as soon as it started I had tears in my eyes it's so emotional qnd that wqt I love also like I said before these two need to act in a kdrama with a similar concept to the mv. Also IU's voice is amazing and she I mý ult fav female idol It's Such a emotional yet awe inspiring message in the lyrics which is love conquers all no matter the ending. Also I cried as soon as the song started qnd get tears in my eyes whenever I watch the mv and hear the song
V AMAZING acting out all these emotions of fear happiness sorrow furious, in a 5 minute music video is crazy because we see actors failing to act out a single emotion in an 1 hour long episode but here he is, the versatility is showing 😭They they forgot what they were running from because through the lens of the camera, they were able to just love and enjoy life until the reality caught up to them and they were taken away ICRY 😭😭❤😢
Hi ItBudz, if you decide to react to or only listen to IU you will be in for a ride. She covers quite a bit of genres. She has 15 years of music to her name. She even has some songs were she raps bids. ==> Coin, BBIBBI for e.g
IU can't hear and V’s one eye can't see ,in the end IU covered the good eyes of Taehyung so he won't see the horrible ending in front of them ,im Stuck at how a single tear from Taehyung’s good eye traced its path down his face and IU’s hand gently covered his eyes, It's as if he found a momentary refuge in her touch, offering a subtle relief from the overwhelming sensation ... AH I CAN'T STOP CRYING 😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
He’s blind in his right eye, she’s deaf. The cube is getting rid of all that aren’t perfect by their society’s standards. She covers his left eye so he won’t see their end.
IU is not a rapper and I think that's not her expertise...she did a little bit of rap in her song Coin, but it's a soft one. She has arrays of genres tho, she likes exploring new kinds of music in every album she released. If you prefer upbeat songs, from IU I would recommend Hold My Hand, Blueming, and Jam Jam (all in live concert version, bcos that's way better than studio ver)
IU debut around 2008, this is her 15th years in the industry, so she basically try everything she can do in the entertainment industry, she did acting and singing and producing her own album, occasionally rap in her own song like Bbi Bbi, Leon, Coin, and also do all different genre of song.
Over the past year there have been a lot of 'mini-movie' music videos. Suga (Agust D) did the mv 'Heageum', NewJeans did the mv 'Cool With You', Kim Sejeong did the mv 'Top Or Cliff'. All were basically short form movies with not much correlation to the songs themselves. And we got another short form movie here.
She was born deaf and he was born blind in one eye so they were considered defects, they were not perfect so they had to go ... pretty true to the society we live in now.... Just listened to a version where they duet. czcams.com/video/0634Gc3wSvA/video.html
If anyone has not check the different theories about the back story. The general idea of this movie is a dystopian future, IU seems to be deaf and V can't see with his right eye, that's why when the end comes she covers the good eye trying to at least protect him from the shocking end. You can interpret it as a world where people out of norm should be disposed of and a bunch more of different ideas from the fans. You can read so much more details about this. I just wanted to plant a seed of curiosity here. Every IU MV has a story.
There isn't much if anything IU can't sing. But she is far from only a singer. I know what you meant when you said that, but it gave me the opening to educate you a little about one of the most remarkable talents in the world today.
