So the context of the Blueming stage makes it even more amazing. Right before the tour is when Sulli died and IU and Sulli were super close friends. A lot of people were super worried that IU was next, there was just this run away train effect in K-pop, and she seemed the next most fragile and distraught. People thought she'd cancel the concert but instead she did them all and during each she talked with and to the audience, sometimes making the concert an hour longer than it was scheduled. When she came back to Seoul for the final concert (which if I remember correctly is where this was filmed) she seemed stronger and from an outsider looking in, it looked like she found her purpose again and her love of music. There have been more recent k-pop tragedies but she really helped stop the momentum behind idols taking their own life by talking about mental health and the downsides of being an idol and the need for reform inside the industry and in the government. Most of what she wanted was ignored but since then there has been a better understanding among those in the industry that mental health is a real issue and is serious. She was incredibly brave and deserves a lot of kudos.

The theme for the Love Poem concert was blue so she used that one for the Blueming stage and more from that concert.

2020-11-24 04:38:45 +0000 UTCIU was my first introduction to kpop, and she is still one of my fav. She such a wonderful person. IU eats CD for breakfast her voice live is just amazing. I really recommend reading the lyrics for her song. Usually when you watch an IU MV there is always 2 or 3 level of comprehension.

2020-11-24 02:53:31 +0000 UTCSweet! She's very obviously my no. 1 in music, well no. 1 anything actually. Let's just call her my no. 1 human lol. There's so much more IU out there so it will come your way eventually. dlwldma is pronounced Lee jigeum in Korean but I guess the official English title is called Right Now. I had no idea you had some background on IU already and was even more surprised when you knew this song. It's a B-side. I've been to 6 of her concerts and everytime she appears on stage I'd tear up a little. She has that kind of effect on me so I really appreciate the positive reaction to this. Thank you.

2020-11-24 01:28:40 +0000 UTCIU is number 1 soloist for a reason, she’s an incredible vocalist and lyricist. And yes, her dancing is adorable. Out of the ones you reacted to here Peach is also my favorite. It’s one of my overall favorites IU songs, and although it has become bittersweet since Sulli’s passing, IU wrote it and sang it with such love that I can’t help but feel warm when I listen to it. I hope that love also reaches Sulli, wherever she is.
