Singer and actress IU drew public attention by personally revealing her own diet for maintaining her physique and condition even amidst a busy activity schedule. IU recently attended stage greetings for 'IU CONCERT [The Golden Hour] IN CINEMAS' and 'IU CONCERT [THE WINNING] IN CINEMAS' held at a cinema located in Yongsan District, Seoul, spending time communicating with fans. At this venue, IU offered warm greetings to the fans who came to watch the concert live films, expressing her hope that they would enjoy delicious food while watching the movies.

While conversing with fans, when a question arose asking about her dinner menu, IU revealed her diet by answering, "I would probably only eat boiled eggs." Following this, mentioning that "I have a schedule tomorrow as well," IU explained her specific consumption method, saying, "If I eat two boiled eggs with olive oil drizzled on them, I don't feel hungry all day." As it was a diet personally revealed by IU, who is well-known for her thorough self-management, interest from fans was intense. In related communities, various reactions followed, such as "The diet is too unrealistic," "I feel like I would be hungry after only 30 minutes," and "It seems like her stomach capacity is extraordinary."

According to media reports, it is known that IU has adjusted her diet according to her schedule whenever she has busy schedules involving stages and filming. The menu revealed this time was also composed of food that can be prepared simply without a complex cooking process while maintaining satiety. IU has shown several times that she carefully manages her food intake to manage her physical strength despite her busy schedule.

Meanwhile, IU is continuing her musical activities by releasing the digital single 'From This Star, From This Farewell' on September 10. This single includes 'From This Star, From This Farewell' and 'Dear my crazy soulmate' as double title tracks, and IU participated in writing the lyrics for both songs. This music release serves as a pre-release to preview songs that will be included in her upcoming 6th full-length album. IU's new song release comes approximately one year after 'Bye, Summer' was released last September.
