IU kicked off her concert series on May 22nd. This is her first time having small theater concerts, which are special because celebrities can communicate with their fans in a smaller, more intimate space.

She performed the 7 songs in her remake album for the first time, but also sang her old hits. She even turned into a radio DJ to talk about the stories that her audience had submitted. She talked with the attendees, even giving out gifts personally. SHINee's Jonghyun, ZE:A's Kwanghee, Kim Bum Soo, 2AM's Seulong, Jo Jung Suk, Akdong Musician, Ha Dong Kyun, and CNBLUE's Yonghwa were guests during her series of concerts.

On her last day, IU said, "I can't believe this is the last concert. I was so nervous on the first day. Through these concerts, I felt that I was receiving a lot of love from a lot of people. I was very happy during the performances, and I was able to get one of my top experiences in life."
Singer IU is becoming one of Korea’s most sought-after stars among the makers of commercials.
The star has recently been chosen to advertise a popular brand of soju (an alcoholic beverage popular in Korea), following in the footsteps of some of the “hottest” stars in Korea, such as Lee Hyori.
According to an article published by media outlet OSEN, however, the star currently has four advertising contracts with companies, and is now negotiating over a possible three more deals. The article calls IU a “CF Queen”, or a “Queen of Commercials.”

And it seems that IU is not only in great...

It was recently confirmed that actress Kang So Ra was rocking a $30 USD 'H&M' branded dress at the '2014 Mnet Asian Music Awards,' garnering much attention to her rather prudent choices.

However, it seems as though IU was actually the first to wear an affordably priced dress on the red carpet as she was seen wearing a dress from H&M at '2014 Melon Music Awards' held back in November 12. The dress was reported to have cost around $30 USD as well. The flowy dress decorated with flower prints can be found on H&M for $24.95 USD.

And to give a little twist to the dress, the artist made...

It's always a good thing to see the hero get the girl, but it's just as satisfying to see, say, the hero or heroine's best friend happy and in love, as well. To that end, here are a few characters who found love despite not being the main characters.

Belting out "I like you oppa, what should I do" in her hit song, "Good Day," IU quickly rose to the top of the list as the nation's next younger sister and was adored by many uncle fans. However, as she gradually made her way into appearing on variety shows, we were shocked to see that IU was not so child-like as she seemed. For one, IU does not have a cute, high-pitched voice that we all thought she would have. Actually, it's quite deep. And her unexpected comments such as, "When girls are rushing to go out, they sometimes only wash their bangs," shows that she has a hidden tomboy, easy-going, and surprisingly mature personality behind her baby face.

With his holiday concert 'All Night Stand' fast-approaching, there is only one grave matter on Psy's mind: which female artists he will parody.

Recently, the singer uploaded a post on Twitter that read, "I'm seriously debating which female artist to parody."
