IU is making a comeback in the music scene, holding hands with Cha Eun-woo… starting the 'big hit ignition' aimed at the ruby button
IU, who expressed her determination that 'the diamond is just the beginning,' is returning to her main job as a singer. This time, her new challenge toward the ruby button is gaining strength with the addition of her meeting with Cha Eun-woo.
Previously, IU's agency, EDAM Entertainment, confirmed the comeback news on the 12th, stating, 'IU is preparing for a new album aimed for release in May.'
This marks a return after approximately 1 year and 3 months since the release of her sixth mini-album, The Winning, in February of last year, meaning IU, who met viewers worldwide through the Netflix series When Life Gives You Tangerines, is coming back to the music stage.
What's particularly eye-catching is that actor Cha Eun-woo will make a cameo appearance in the music video for the new song. The two had previously collaborated as models for a luxury jewelry brand, and there is anticipation for what emotional synergy they will emit in this music video. With both visuals and emotions in this 'combination,' global fans are expected to respond enthusiastically.
In the meantime, IU recently achieved 10 million subscribers on her YouTube channel and received the diamond button, expressing her aspiration, 'Now the ruby button is my goal,' aiming for 50 million subscribers. The synergy created by her successful comeback with the hit of When Life Gives You Tangerines and her video collaboration with Cha Eun-woo is a noteworthy point to watch.
Following the news of the comeback and Cha Eun-woo's cameo appearance, netizens reacted immediately. Comments overflowing with anticipation such as, 'Isn't the combination of IU and Cha Eun-woo unfair?', 'Even just a preview of the music video makes my heart flutter', 'With this combination, the ruby button is just a matter of time', 'A guaranteed sweep of the music charts', 'Returning to her main job, IU, a legendary comeback you can trust' have already concentrated attention.
If IU's music and content, joined with Cha Eun-woo, once again captivates the world, then the ruby button after the diamond is certainly not an unrealistic dream. This is the reason for the attention on IU's new chapter.
