[소통] IU reveals her feelings, "I'm sad that the number of performances is decreasing"

[Sports Chosun.com Reporter Woo-Joo Lee] Amidst complaints about the cancellation of singer IU's concert, her current status has been revealed as she is in the midst of her world tour.

On the 12th, a video titled 'I stayed up all night practicing a cover song...' was posted on IU's official YouTube channel.

IU, who is currently on a world tour, turned on the camera at a hotel in Bangkok, Thailand. IU said, "I was about to sleep, but it's already 12 o'clock. It should be 2 o'clock in Korea," and added, "I have 10 overseas performances left. So I feel sad that the number of performances is decreasing day by day, so I turned on the camera."

IU, who saw herself through the camera, covered her face, saying, "The dark circles under her eyes are no joke." IU, who prepared a cover of a Thai song ahead of her Thailand concert, said, "I'm not really worried about anything else, but the cover song means first love. I practiced hard while listening to that song over and over, and when I did a birthday live, a fan who was chatting said he wanted to see me practicing the cover song." She said, "I struggle so much and I think I look stupid because I focus on difficult pronunciations. That's why I didn't do it, but since he asked me to do it, I thought the cover song might be the last one for this tour, so I turned on the camera," revealing a little bit of herself practicing the cover song.

IU said, "The pronunciation was extremely difficult. That was what I was most worried about. I rehearsed three times, but I only liked the last one, and it wasn't easy." She continued, "I trust myself for practicing. But I make mistakes like this. But do you know what? Sometimes, even effort betrays you. At that time, it's better to feel betrayed than to regret not practicing a little more." She practiced all night. However, her worries were for naught, as IU perfectly performed the cover stage and received huge cheers. IU greeted in Thai, saying, "I was so nervous. I really like this song, so I was so happy while practicing."

Meanwhile, IU will hold the '2024 IU HEREH WORLD TOUR CONCERT ENCORE: THE WINNING' at Seoul World Cup Stadium on September 21st and 22nd.
