  • IU will release a new digital single at 6 p.m. on September 10, her first new song in a year.
  • Two concert films will return to CGV for screenings marking her 18th debut anniversary, on September 9 and 16.
  • The singer is adjusting major activities after worsening symptoms of a chronic ear condition.

IU is preparing to greet fans with new music while slowing down her schedule for health reasons. The singer and actor will release a digital single at 6 p.m. on September 10, her first new song since the surprise single “Bye, Summer” appeared on September 10 last year.

A teaser released on September 4 showed a crescent moon and orbital symbol on a retro computer screen. It also featured a familiar piece of background music that attracted attention through YouTube in August, building anticipation for the release.

IU will also meet audiences through the screen rather than the stage. Two concert films will return exclusively to CGV as part of events marking her 18th anniversary since debut. “IU Concert: The Golden Hour,” which captured her 2022 performance at Seoul Olympic Stadium, will screen again on September 9.

“The Winning,” featuring her 100th solo concert at Seoul World Cup Stadium in 2024, will follow on September 16. IU previously began reorganizing her schedule after symptoms of patulous Eustachian tube, a chronic ear condition, worsened.
