IU: From a g.irl who was cheated on m.oney, holding a huge debt to a Korean treasure and heart wounds that are hard to erase

IU is one of the rare female artists who can succeed in both music and film. After years of efforts, the "small flower" has gained a powerful position in the entertainment industry, to the point that even an ordinary concert attracts a huge star cast like Song Hye Kyo, Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Jun Ki, and Suho. (EXO)...

IU's real name is Lee Ji Eun was born on May 16, 1993 in Songjeongdong, Seoul. She had an unhappy childhood. As a c.hild, her family had serious financial difficulties, causing the singer to move with her younger brother to live with her grandmother in a room full of cockroaches. After that, they moved to live with a relative. This relative repeatedly cursed IU badly, claiming she could never become a singer. Each time, IU just pretended to be asleep to ignore that person.

IU considers it a motivation for her to work hard day and night to fulfill her dream of becoming a singer. The path that the beauty chooses is full of thorns. On the way to realizing her dream, IU fell into the sights of some "ghost" entertainment companies: "I've been scammed many times. They asked me to pay different amounts of m.oney. There were even times. , that amount is up to 3 million won (60 million dong) If I can't meet it, they will immediately limit my opportunities and put me in a state of crisis because of not having a job. After being cheated like that three times, I realized the truth. Indeed, I lost a lot of m.oney to those bad guys."

Experiencing early failures, she participated in a series of trainee selection sessions of large and small companies. Despite being repeatedly rejected, IU still did not give up. Her hard work and relentless efforts finally paid off. The female singer caught the eye of LOEN Entertainment. Here, she has the opportunity to shine and step by step become a leading solo artist in Kpop.

Many "big men" who have lost IU have expressed regret when witnessing her success. JYP boss Park Jin Young even joked that he wanted to severely reprimand the staff who failed IU when appearing on the show "Entertainment Weekly" (KBS2) in 2011.

Despite working hard, IU's early years did not leave much of an impression. Until 2010, the hit "Good day" with 3 famous high notes really brought IU's name to a new level. The song topped Korea's Gaon digital music chart for 5 consecutive weeks and was chosen by Billboard as the best K-pop song of the 2010s.

Since then, IU has emerged like a kite in the wind. Her debut role in the school "super product" Dream high also received much praise.

After 14 years of operation, she has owned a remarkable film fortune, including many leading roles. IU's typical works to mention are Moonlight Lover, Spooky Hotel, Persona, You're the best! Lee Soon Shin... Not only that, IU is also known as a talented musician. Most of the female singer's hits are self-composed such as Palette, Peach, Friday, Blueming, Twenty-three, Bbibbi, Through the night...

Currently, IU has become one of the top solo singers in Korea. She continuously leads the popularity rankings of Kpop stars. With the title of "digital music monster", IU always sweeps all music charts on every comeback.

Having gone through many hardships to achieve the success she is today, IU is very appreciative of the results of her artistic labor. She always spends hours practicing in her own concerts and in duets with other artists to bring the best performances to the audience.

Lee Jun Ki became close to IU after the two artists had the opportunity to collaborate on "Moon Lovers". The A-list actor once attended the female singer's concert and witnessed her dedication to the arts: "Only IU can never feel tired after more than 5 hours of practicing and showing off. show all the energy that I have on stage like that."

IU is multi-talented and active in many fields, so she has received many big advertising contracts, the salary level is also at the highest level in Kbiz. According to my research, IU currently owns many expensive and expensive real estates and villas. Some of the "rumored" real estate listed by IU are a penthouse worth about VND 270 billion in Gangnam, a villa worth VND 42.9 billion in Yangpyeong District, Gyeonggi Province and about 6 plots of land around the villa. .

Born in difficult circumstances, IU easily sympathizes with unfortunate lives. Since her debut, she has enthusiastically participated in charitable contributions to help those less fortunate. The female singer once donated to the victims of the Sewol ferry sinking, the Gangwon forest fire, the earthquake disaster in Nepal...

The show "Section TV" (MBC) once honored stars who actively contribute to charity and IU is the female singer who works hard to do charity up to now. It is known that she donated about 600 million won (equivalent to 12 billion dong) to domestic and foreign charities.

Besides, IU is also known as a star who loves fans. Fans are the driving force for IU to continue to conquer new heights in her career and are the ones who contribute to the success of the female singer, so she deeply respects them. Instead of shaking hands with fans of the opposite s.ex like many idols do, IU often gives them warm hugs to show her affection.

According to the script of the show "Guerilla Date", IU will shake hands with male fans but she actively hugs them, making these male fans burst with happiness.

Despite her success in her career, anyone who loves and follows IU knows that the talented female artist has past wounds and lost two close friends.

Past wounds are always deeply imprinted in everyone's mind, this must be well known to everyone. Although she is a singer and idol of millions of people, IU also has a soul, emotions, and wounds. This moment is probably the most difficult for 26-year-old Lee Ji Eun, because two close friends Sulli and Goo Hara have both come to the most painful decision, which is s.uicide.

Experiencing the same situation, even the past is more painful and often confiding things to each other as best friends and confidants, IU is probably the person who knows best what the two deceased friends think. On the night of the concert on the day Goo Hara passed away, IU was still calm... not to say calm.

She performed the song "Love, Poem" with the message: "I believe every word in this song will be effective at the moment. I'm really worried about you guys. Sometimes the world is out there. It's hard and c.ruel but let's be strong! We need to live on and love each other more."

Besides, IU is also involved in many love rumors. The most noisy love story of the female singer is with her 11-year-old senior - Jang Kiha. The female singer was criticized by many parents when she previously confirmed that she would not go to university to focus on her career, but ended up going public with her dating story.

The relationship of the two met with many turbulence from the media and antifan, Jang Kiha was rumored to want to rely on his girlfriend. Although the two bravely faced the wave of opposition and stayed together, after 4 years of being together, they broke up.

IU was involved in espionage, management company and law immediately involved in the Kbiz riot Mưa08:29:59 08/08/2023EDAM Entertainment announced the progress of the criminal case, saying: "We have caught another spy leaflet and realized the seriousness of the attitude without reflection.
