  (Redirected from Lee Ji-eun (singer))
Lee Ji-eun (Korean: 이지은; born May 16, 1993), known professionally as IU (Korean: 아이유), is a South Korean singer-songwriter and actress. The name IU is a combination of 'I' and 'you' meaning "you and I become one through music."[1] She signed with Kakao M (formerly LOEN Entertainment, now Kakao Entertainment) in 2007 as a trainee and debuted as a singer at the age of fifteen with her first mini album Lost and Found (2008). Although her follow-up albums, Growing Up and IU...IM, brought mainstream success, it was after the release of "Good Day" (Korean: 좋은 날), the lead single from her 2010 album Real, that she achieved national stardom. "Good Day" went on to spend five consecutive weeks at the top position of South Korea's Gaon Digital Chart, and in 2019, it was ranked number one on Billboard's "100 Greatest K-Pop Songs of the 2010s" list.[2]

With the success of her 2011 albums, Real+ and Last Fantasy, IU established herself as a formidable force on the music charts of her native country and further cemented her girl next door image as Korea's "little sister". She is known now as "The Nation's Sweetheart".[3][4][5] 2011 also saw her first foray into songwriting with "Hold My Hand", which was written for the television series The Greatest Love. IU's third full-length album release, Modern Times (2013), showcased a more mature style that marked a departure from her earlier girlish image, with several tracks reaching the top 10 positions on Gaon Digital Chart. The album was ranked number two on Billboard's "25 Greatest K-Pop Albums of the 2010s" list.[6] While her subsequent releases, including albums A Flower Bookmark (2014), Chat-Shire (2015), Palette (2017) and Lilac (2021) continued to deviate from mainstream K-pop styles, IU retained her dominance on music charts.[7][8][9] Chat-Shire marked the first time she is credited as the sole lyricist and composer of her own album.[10][11]
IU has released a total of five studio albums and nine extended plays in her career, scoring five number-one albums and twenty-six number-one singles on the Gaon Music Charts. One of the best-selling solo acts in the group-dominated K-pop industry,[12] she has been included on Forbes magazine's annual Korea Power Celebrity list since 2012 and reached a peak ranking of number three that year.[13] Billboard recognized IU as the all-time leader of its Korea K-pop Hot 100 chart with the most number-one songs and the artist who has held the number-one position for the most weeks.[14] She was named Gallup Korea's Singer of the Year in 2014 and in 2017.[15][16]
Aside from her music career, IU has ventured into hosting radio and television shows, as well as acting. Following her supporting role in teen drama Dream High and minor appearances in several television series, she starred in You're the Best, Lee Soon-shin, Pretty Man, The Producers, Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, My Mister, Persona, and Hotel Del Luna.
IU was born Lee Ji-eun on May 16, 1993, in Songjeong-dong, Seoul, South Korea.[17][18] At an early age, IU became interested in pursuing a career in the entertainment industry and began attending acting classes.[19] Soon after her elementary school years, her family's financial situation deteriorated, and they eventually moved to the nearby Uijeongbu in Gyeonggi Province.[20] She and her younger brother lived apart from their parents in a studio room with their grandmother and cousin for over a year in conditions of great poverty.[21][22] IU had little contact with her parents over this period of time but felt reassured under her grandmother's care.[22]
During her middle school years, IU found her passion for singing and decided to become a singer after being applauded for a performance she gave at her school's sports competition.[23] She attended 20 auditions but failed all of them, and was also scammed by fake entertainment companies.[24][25] IU used to train at Good Entertainment with Uee, Yubin, Heo Ga-yoon, and Jun Hyo-seong.[26] After signing with LOEN Entertainment in 2007, she moved to Bangbae, Seoul.[27] Despite the prospect of her being put into a girl group, she made her solo debut in 2008 after ten months of training.[28] Due to her living conditions at the time, IU stated that she "loved being at the studio", where she could eat as much as she wanted and had a place to sleep.[22] Prior to her debut, LOEN coined her stage name "IU", deriving it from the phrase "I and You" to symbolize the unifying force of music between people.[28]
Her burgeoning career led to her decreased attendance at school and declining grades, with the exception of Korean literature.[29] After graduating from Dongduk Girls' High School in 2012, IU decided not to pursue post-secondary education in tandem with her singing career.[30]
After training for ten months, IU released "Lost Child" (Korean: 미아) as her debut single. She performed the song live for the first time on the music program M! Countdown on September 18, 2008, making it her debut performance as a professional singer.[31] Regarding the performance, IU recalled the crowd had hurled insults at her and though she initially felt discouraged by it, she now considers it a beneficial experience.[32] "Lost Child" is the lead single from her debut extended play Lost and Found, which was released on September 24, 2008. For the album, IU was awarded the "Rookie of the Month" by South Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in November that same year.[33] However, the album did not do well commercially. During an interview in 2011, IU said, "My first album failed, but I'm grateful for that. If I had become successful as soon as I made my debut, I wouldn't appreciate my staff members and the popularity that I'm enjoying now."[29]
On April 23, 2009, IU launched her first studio album, Growing Up, with the lead promotional single, "Boo". She began her album promotion the next day, performing "Boo" on KBS2's Music Bank.[34] The song was noted for its stark contrast in musical style to "Lost Child", which was described as a "heavy" and "dark" ballad compared to the 1980s "retro sound" of "Boo".[35][36] Deemed as a "strategic" transformation, the dance choreography, stage costume and hairstyle shown in live performances were used to emphasize her youthfulness and project a "cute" image.[35][37] Although it drew a favorable response from the public, IU, who was fifteen years old at the time, admitted that the image made her feel awkward.[37] The song was nominated as a number-one contender on the popular music program, Inkigayo. Along with several songs from Lost and Found, "You Know" (Korean: 있잖 아) was also featured in Growing Up; a new rock-style arrangement of the song was released as the follow-up single to "Boo".
Towards the end of 2009, IU released her second extended play, IU...IM. She began promoting its lead single, "Marshmallow" (Korean: 마쉬멜로우), on music programs across the three major television networks from November 13, 2009. The song was described as "saccharine" with a style that was a hybrid of the rock-and-roll of the 1960s and "French pop".[38] Recalling the performances, IU stated on a 2013 episode of Happy Together that she disliked having to wear the girlish costumes and hairstyle fashioned for the song promotions.[39] The performances were well-received and were once again labelled "cute", reminiscent of reviews for "Boo".[40]
In addition to her album releases in 2009, IU participated in her first soundtracks via two MBC television dramas, Strike Love (Korean: 2009 외인구단) and Queen Seondeok (Korean: 선덕여왕). She also collaborated with artists such as Mighty Mouth and The Three Views on their albums. As her popularity began to rise, IU made more frequent appearances on variety shows, performing on Star Golden Bell, Kim Jung-eun's Chocolate and You Hee-yeol's Sketchbook. Her acoustic covers of other artists' songs such as Girls' Generation's "Gee", Super Junior's "Sorry, Sorry", and Big Bang's "Lies" (Korean: 거짓말) featured in these live performances gained tremendous interest online.[41] In late 2009, she became a TV presenter for the first time, hosting a weekly music chart show on Gom TV,[42] while appearing as a fixed guest on multiple radio programs such as Kiss the Radio, Volume Up, MBC Standard FM's Starry Night and MBC FM4U's Best Friend Radio.[43][44]
On June 3, 2010, IU released "Nagging" (Korean: 잔소리), a duet which she recorded with 2AM's Lim Seul-ong. The single debuted at twelve on the Gaon Digital Chart and shot up to the number-one position the following week, where it remained for three weeks.[45] Written by Kim Eana and composed by Lee Min-soo, the pop ballad duet was used as one of the theme songs for the second season of the variety show, We Got Married.[46] The song was popular on music programs, where it won the Mutizen award on Inkigayo and was placed first on Music Bank.[47] Soon after, IU released "Because I'm a Woman" (Korean: 여자라서), one of the theme songs of MBC's historical drama, Road No. 1 (Korean: 로드 넘버원). The song peaked at number six on the Gaon Digital Chart.[48] IU's collaboration with Sung Si-kyung on "It's You" (Korean: 그대네요) for his album, The First, debuted at number one on the Gaon Digital Chart.[49]
A 21-second sample of "Good Day", the lead single from Real. IU was noted for the "wide range" of her voice, while the song's popularity was ascribed to its lyrics and high-pitched climax.[50][51]

IU's third EP, Real, was released on December 9, 2010. Produced by Jo Yeong-cheol and Choi Gap-won, Real debuted at number four on the Gaon Album Chart.[52][53] The lead single, "Good Day" (Korean: 좋은 날), reunited IU with lyricist Kim Eana and composer Lee Min-soo after "Nagging", whom she would work with again on the lead singles of her next two studio albums. The uptempo song, as explained by Kim Eana, is about "a shy girl who is nervous about expressing her feelings to the boy she likes."[54] During the album's promotional period, IU also topped the charts on the music programs M! Countdown, Music Bank, and Inkigayo.[55][56][57] Both Kim Eana and Lee Min-soo considered the main factors of the song's success to be the use of the word oppa (Korean: 오빠) in the chorus, as well as the three high-pitched notes that IU sings in semitone increments during the climax of the song.[58] In addition to receiving praise for her vocal abilities, IU's fan base also expanded to a more varied demographic as compared to other K-pop groups.[51][59]
To maintain public visibility, IU joined the cast of the variety show, Heroes, which aired from July 18, 2010, to May 1, 2011.[26] Speaking fondly of the show, IU recalled the camaraderie she built with the other regular cast members despite the hectic two-day shooting schedules which only allowed them two-three hours of sleep.[60] Shortly after joining Heroes, IU was cast in teen drama Dream High (Korean: 드림하이). Filming ran from December 2010 to February 2011, during which time she remained committed to Heroes and her existing promotions for "Good Day".[61] In her first acting role, IU played Kim Pil-sook, a shy and overweight school girl who dreams of becoming a professional singer. Admitting that she was doubtful about her readiness to take on acting, IU remarked that she gained confidence in learning that the part would require singing and would later describe the experience as a tremendously enjoyable one.[28][59] For the series' soundtrack, she released the single, "Someday", which achieved number-one position on the Gaon Digital Chart on the week of January 30 – February 5, 2011.[62] By the end of 2011, the single had sold 2,209,924 digital copies and is one of IU's best-selling singles for a soundtrack.[63]
A follow-up extended play to Real was released on February 16, 2011, with the title, Real+, containing three songs.[64] The lead single, "Only I Didn't Know" (Korean: 나만 몰랐던 이야기), was composed by singer-songwriter Yoon Sang with lyrics written by Kim Eana. Yoon Sang wrote the song for IU after spotting her momentary sad expression on a television broadcast.[65] The ballad's tone was a departure from her more recent releases, with IU describing it as dark, sad and sentimental, which is closer to her music preference.[19][59] The song performed well commercially, debuting at number one on the Gaon Digital Chart.[66]
IU took on various side-projects after the end of Dream High. On March 10, 2011, IU performed as the opening act for British singer-songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae's first solo concert in Seoul with two songs, before joining Bailey Rae during her performance of "Put Your Records On".[67] Bailey Rae, whom IU described as her role model, said of IU, "It's incredible that her voice is so soulful even though she's young."[68] In the same month, IU was appointed as one of the new hosts of the music program, Inkigayo, a position which she held until July 2013.[69] For K.Will's extended play, My Heart Beating, she starred in two of his music videos alongside Lee Joon and No Min-woo.[70][71] In May 2011, IU recorded her first self-composed song, "Hold My Hand" (Korean: 내 손을 잡아), for the romantic-comedy television series, The Greatest Love (Korean: 최고의 사랑).[72] The song peaked at number two on the Gaon Digital Chart and sold 2,031,787 digital copies in 2011.[63][73] Between May and July 2011, IU took part in the reality ice-skating competition series, Kim Yuna's Kiss & Cry, as a celebrity contestant until she was eliminated in the eighth episode.[74][75] During this time, she also participated in Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend but eventually withdrew after recording one episode due to her overwhelming schedule.[76][77] On her wide-ranging activities in entertainment, IU remarked that while singing, acting and variety are all difficult, she finds variety to be the most tiring.[78]
IU's second studio album, Last Fantasy, was released on November 29, 2011, in two editions, a regular retail version and a special storybook edition, of which only 15,000 copies were produced.[79] The Korea JoongAng Daily described the album as one that would "suit all kinds of musical tastes and fans", while Billboard noted the "cinematic feel" of the album as set by the opening track, "Secret" (Korean: 비밀).[9][80] Produced by Jo Yeong-cheol, whom IU worked with on Real, the album contains collaborative works with singer-songwriters such as Yoon Sang, Lee Juck and Ra.D. The total number of download sales made from the album's tracks exceeded 10 million within the first two weeks.[81] Eight out of the album's thirteen songs debuted in the top ten on the Gaon Digital Chart, while the album debuted at number one on the Gaon Album Chart.[82][83] The main single, "You & I" (Korean: 너랑 나), became IU's most commercially successful single with almost 5.5 million digital copies sold by the end of 2012.[84] It topped the Gaon Chart as well as the newly established Billboard Korea K-pop Hot 100 chart at the time of release.[83][85]
Shortly before the release of Last Fantasy, IU signed with EMI Music Japan (now part of Universal Music Japan) as a precursor to her entry into the Japanese market.[86] A selection of her previously-released songs was compiled into an extended play called I□U that was released in Japan on December 14, 2011.[87]
As promotions for Last Fantasy and its main single "You & I" continued into 2012 in South Korea, IU began preparations for her debut in Japan by playing two shows at the Bunkamura Orchard Hall in Shibuya, Tokyo to an audience of about 4,000 people on January 24, 2012.[31] She performed six songs including her debut single, "Lost Child", and the Japanese version of "Good Day" with the support of either a live orchestra or her own acoustic guitar accompaniment.[31][88] Subsequent to the concert, both "Good Day" and "You & I" were released as new singles in Japan with translated lyrics to moderate success. According to Japan's Oricon Singles Chart, the single album of Good Day sold 21,000 physical copies on the first week of release with the single debuting on the chart at number six.[89] On the Billboard Japan Hot 100, "Good Day" peaked at number 5.[90] "You & I" peaked at number four on the Oricon Singles Chart and number eleven on the Billboard Japan Hot 100.[91][92] In support of her Japanese single releases, IU toured five cities—Tokyo, Sapporo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka—in a mini-concert series called "IU Friendship Showcase - Spring 2012".[93]
IU embarked on her first solo concert tour, titled "Real Fantasy", in June 2012. She played shows in six different cities across South Korea, starting with two shows in Seoul.[94] The opening shows on June 2–3 were sold out within 30 minutes of the tickets going on sale on April 17.[95] It was reported that 43.8% of ticket purchasers were between the ages of 20 and 29, while 71% were male, which was considered uncommon for a K-pop concert.[95] The tour continued to Ulsan, Jeonju, Suwon, Busan and Daegu, before returning to Seoul with two encore concerts that ended on September 23, 2012.[96] Guest performers included Ra.D, Lim Seul-ong and Lee Seung-gi.[97]
Due to her commitments towards preparing for her first solo tour, IU was unable to make broadcast promotions for her fifth Korean extended play, Spring of a Twenty Year Old (Korean: 스무 살의 봄), which was released on May 11, 2012. The album, named to celebrate IU turning the Korean age of 20, contains three songs with the lead single being "Peach" (Korean: 복숭아).[98] Self-composed by IU, "Peach" peaked at number two on the Gaon Digital Chart and number three on the Billboard K-pop Hot 100.[99][100] The second single released from the album was "
