IU has a special reunion with fans on her 18th debut anniversary while recovering her health

While singer IU has temporarily suspended activities due to health reasons, she held a meaningful meeting with fans to mark her 18th debut anniversary. According to her agency EDAM Entertainment, IU is currently focusing on treatment and recovery, having canceled her Goyang concert scheduled for September and postponed the release schedule for her 6th regular album due to worsening symptoms of patulous Eustachian tube.

According to media reports, to soothe the disappointment of fans who cannot meet IU in person, CGV re-released the films 'IU CONCERT [The Golden Hour] IN CINEMAS' and 'IU CONCERT: THE WINNING'. In particular, the 'I-KE Screening' held for three days from September 18 to 20 received a great response as it was operated in a sing-along format where the audience waved the official lightstick, I-KE, and sang along.

On the 20th, a stage greeting attended by IU herself was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. This event consisted of a total of 6 sessions, including the 2nd session of 'The Golden Hour' and the 4th session of 'The Winning', and IU shared touching moments with the fandom UAENA to celebrate her 18th debut anniversary.

The re-released 'IU CONCERT [The Golden Hour] IN CINEMAS' is a live performance recording of the concert that mobilized 90,000 spectators over two days at the Seoul Olympic Stadium in September 2022, the first time a Korean female singer has achieved such a feat. Additionally, 'IU CONCERT: THE WINNING' is a work capturing the heat of IU's 100th concert and her first world tour held in 2024.

On the 20th, the agency released a group photo taken with fans at the stage greeting site and behind-the-scenes shots from the waiting room through official SNS. In the released photos, IU revealed her pure and lovely charm with a transformation into a short bob hairstyle.
