IU and Suga (BTS) once released the hit duet, "Destiny", did it start here?

The Golden Disc Awards (GDA) taking place on January 10, 2018 is probably one of the unforgettable events for Kpop fans.

At the end of 2017, the entertainment industry received news that Jonghyun (SHINee) passed away due to depression and pressure. While the music industry is still tinged with sadness, the idols participating in GDA 2018 can barely enjoy the full joy.

At GDA 2018, IU was the artist named to receive the Daesang Song of the Year award in the Digital segment. She gave a rather long and emotional speech about her late friend Jonghyun.

IU shared, "Honestly, I'm still very sad. I just had to send a close person, a friend, an artist to a far away place. Why are you so sad and painful, I think it's me. understand to a certain extent. Because it's not a feeling that I don't completely understand... That's why I'm still heartbroken and apologetic."

IU's speech from the bottom of her heart made the artists sitting below fall into silence, some people even had tears in their eyes. She added, "An artist is someone who heals others' souls. Although being professional is a good thing, I hope you guys take care of yourselves first. I sincerely hope you guys don't hide it. my painful feelings and let myself get hurt."

Any Kpop idol goes through tremendous pressure both physically and mentally. As a senior with a long career and a leading position in the entertainment industry, IU's words are like a spiritual medicine, comforting and comforting younger colleagues. IU's speech seems to have made a strong impression on Suga (BTS). The rapper listened extremely attentively, even smiling and nodding in agreement with IU's every word. Suga also clapped enthusiastically when IU finished her speech. After this, IU and Suga released the duet eight in May 2020. I don't know if this is the time when the "fate" of the two begins or not?

In addition to her emotional speech, IU was also honored to be the performer to close the awards night. When all the idols gathered on the stage, some couldn't hide their grief. Yeri, Seulgi (Red Velvet) or Nayeon (TWICE) all had tears in their eyes.

It has been 4 years since Kpop fans had to say goodbye to Jonghyun. Fans have never forgotten the famous male idol with his golden personality and gentle and emotional voice.

Regarding IU, everyone knows that the digital war between idols is always a painful problem that never ends. Every time the idols come back, the whole fandom will stream crazy music, trying to plow the views to set a new record. The culture of "plowing views to the top" is deeply rooted in the perception of K-pop fans and idols themselves. Achievement seems to be a sharp weapon that any idol must have if they want to stay long in the K-pop arena.

But IU is the complete opposite, she releases music innocuously whenever she likes. "Autumn Morning" is a prime example. IU thinks that the song's content is about a fresh autumn morning, so this song was released early in the morning on a beautiful day so that listeners can blend in with the emotions and lyrics in the song. . Even though 7 am is a bad time to release any music.

Not only "Autumn Morning", IU's previous music products have never needed "zodiac time", as long as she likes it, she will release it. There are even great songs that IU only shares on fan cafes or audio versions on Youtube, not digital music sites.

For IU, music is a gift from God to her to connect people, not a tool to compete for achievements. She doesn't need the whole fandom to "plow" views or stream music regardless of day or night, but the charm of IU's music makes listeners really want to enjoy it voluntarily.
