Recently IU's changed appearance, having gained weight compared with transfer, drew attention.
On the 30th, a video titled "IU TV jingni cheek fat season 2025 IU FAN MEET UP 'Bye, Summer' rehearsal behind the scenes" was posted on IU's personal channel.
In the released video, IU shared that she has recently gained weight. Looking at the camera, IU touched her jaw lightly and said "Doesn't my face look a bit better?" with a laugh. IU said, "I gained weight. Gaining a little seems to have made me look better," showing some satisfaction. IU mentioned the much more positive reactions after gaining weight, saying, "I gained a little while filming, and people said I looked much prettier."
Earlier in June, IU received the question "Sister! How tall are you recently?" on a communication platform with fans, and she left the comment, "Last year I recorded 163.2 but this year I'm down to 162.7.."
In the past, "middle-aged actress scene Jenny" Park Jun-geum drew attention when she said, "I'm 158cm and 43kg so I have the same clothing size as IU," revealing a small size 44. However, IU's actual height surprised people by reaching 162~163cm.
IU has maintained a small frame since her debut and once confessed on a variety show, "My weight is in the low to mid-40 kilograms." At one time, she lost weight and was reported to wear a children's size smaller than 44, the '33 half size.'
Appearing on "Excuse Me" released in March, IU said, "I especially really like sweet foods, and since my debut I tended to gain weight in my face, so I dieted because of my facial fat," and added, "But at some point I just didn't want to eat. My appetite itself decreased, and my stomach seemed to shrink."
