Iu recorded this song when she had a bad cold and was constantly coughing and taking a little rest. Even so, she recorded this track perfectly. also, iu can be called an Angel, she really is like that. She has donated a lot of money during her career. She is always kind to everyone and loves her fans. Unfortunately, iu lost 3 of her friends, it's suicide. The song called "eight" is dedicated to him and most of all to her friend Sulli. I advise you to react to it. There is a clip.
the cube represents something else....it´s not scifi.....some say it´s the industry, some say it´s old age, illness, rough world around us etc etc..... but they stick together no matter what!
To me, the video is about how the machine (cube) of industry/media pursues you constantly, leaving you battered and bruised, and, in the end, can suck the life out of you. IU is fantastic and her and V's acting in this is stellar.
@@CoachCastTV I'm just copy pasting an explaination I saw under another video: The Cube represents society, it is chasing every individual who doesn't fit the standards of society. Here V is half blind, IU is deaf and mute. So they are running from oppression of society. The world is controled by these standards of perfection to the point that people in the world put masks on when they don't have make-up or when they feel inssecure or they wear hats when their hair is messy. The MV is a dystopian view of our society. While they are trying to hide in this abondonned place filled with the clothes of people who died because of this oppression, they find a camera that allows them to have an illusion of what their lives could be if they were "normal" by society's standards, it starts with their looks, they could see how they would have looked like, then what they would eat, then they start to feel the illusion a bit too much to the point they beautifully imagine that IU could sing and V could sing as well and she could listen to his voice, they could marry each other and just have fun and eat whatever they want because they wouldn't have to care about society or any other kind of oppression. However, as soon as they feel a little bit of confort and try to live their life, the Cube (society) finds them again and push them to retreat and flee again, but the Cube managed to find them again, they try to survive against it and try to fight it as hard as they can, but they cannot beat a stronger system, they just give up but at least they stayed together until the end. Even if they died at the end, they loved each other deeply, it shows that even if society is oppressive, people can love each other and they can find their soulmate even if they are not "normal or perfect" to the eyes of some many others. The pile of clothes is like from Spring Day, these people died because of injustice, but they deserved love, so the pile of clothes can look very gloomy and sad, but as in Spring Day MV if you don't forget them you can seem them happy and free where they are right now...
IU can't hear and V’s one eye can't see ,in the end IU covered the good eyes of Taehyung so he won't see the horrible ending in front of them ,im Stuck at how a single tear from Taehyung’s good eye traced its path down his face and IU’s hand gently covered his eyes, It's as if he found a momentary refuge in her touch, offering a subtle relief from the overwhelming sensation ... AH I CAN'T STOP CRYING 😢
@@khristinacruz9107 I think you're right. For some reason, they only react to female kpop stars. Some Americans dislike saying anything nice about Asian males.
@@hd7704 It doesn't matter, but when I follow reactions I like to see what the channel's style is and I saw that they also react to male metal bands, but in the first videos they give a very enthusiastic thank you to blackpink fans for their support and even call them of "dad and mom", so maybe it's not good to mix, I just didn't think it was fair that BTS fans didn't know and kept asking when I know they won't do it. Thank you anyway.
@@khristinacruz9107 I don't think it's about fairness. They're just being naive or clueless. Some people have negative stereotypes about Kpop, but they're only happy to indulge in the stereotypes about female Kpop stars
Great reaction as always. Yeah, IU is something else. While Girls Generation is "The Nations Girl Group", IU is "Nations Little Sister", likely the most influential K-Pop solo artist of all times. This song already achieved its "Perfect All-Kill" status (which means it simultaneously took the top spot on all eight Korean music charts). The MV for "Love Wins All" was directed by Um Tae-hwa (one of the most successfull and award winning directors in Korea) and features V from BTS (the biggest boy group in the world) as male actor, who is not even singing in the song. Shows, how everybody wants to comes running when IU asks them to collaborate on a project. She is the Korean artist other Korean artists look up to. The "idol of idols" so to speak. She debuted at the age of 15 back in 2008 (not even one year after the debut of Girls Generation, to put it into perspective). Today she basically has her "own" exclusive label with EDAM (established specifically for her) where she produces, composes and writes many of her songs. She also has own variety tv interview show (Palette) and her long running reality tv series (IU TV); both available for free on her UA-cam channel. To top it off, she is also one of the most successful and award winning actress in Korean Entertainment. I for example first got to know her through one of her K-Drama roles. Yes, she has an amazing killing voice episode, although it would of course spoil her songs. So I would watch that a bit later, after you're more familiar with her. What I consider as two of the most important "must watch" suggestions for her are: 1. Her MV for "Eight" and the UA-cam video "IU Eight explained by a Korean" because it showcases how meaningful her songs can be (and teaches you a bit about the K-Pop industry as well) 2. Her Live Performances for "Blueming" (from 2019 Love Poem concert) and "Eight" (from 2022 ) both record breaking concerts in their own ways, giving you a glimpse into how big she really is She usually also publishes great Behind The Scenes episodes for most of her releases. For example I can highly recommend the two BTS episodes for the Golden Hour concert and as well as the two BTS episodes for Love WIns All (MV making off, recording of the song). Final suggestion for your patreon: Why not add a K-Drama to your reaction mix? One episode per week, maybe as a nice weekend release exlusive on patreon? A whole other world (and fanbase) opening for you, expanding your Korean entertainment knowledge? You could start with one of IUs K-Dramas (I would suggest "Hotel Del Luna", available on Netflix)
V the actor who takes role as her lover is from a group called BTS which I think you guys know of since they are the biggest group in the world. Iu has an amazing voice literally made me cry
IU discography is definitely a must check out if you’re exploring kpop. Killing voice is good one , she sings some songs she wrote during her 20s there. Though her face looks like a 18 years old teenager she’s actually 30. And if you wanna check out her other MVs , i saw someone recommend eight which is definitely a good one since the song is tribute to her 3 friends that passed away. I also wanna recommend “Good day” since it’s probably the “blew up” moment for her with the iconic 3 level 13-seconds high notes she did. And coincidentally, Today 13 years ago is the day that she released “Good day”😂
IU fandom name : Uaena IU/Lee Ji-eun is a South Korean actress, singer, songwriter and record producer. She debuted in 2008 with her 1st EP or 1st Album "Lost and Found". IU is called "Nation's Little Sister". I love her music so much. She is one of my favorite solo artists. She is such a beauty ! I really adore her. She is THE BEST. IU stuff (PLAYLIST) : ua-cam.com/play/PLG9J3dru6j3upURhW2BI9InYZDVl8BP71.html&feature=shared
IU debuted at 15 and is 30 years old now....she writes all her lyrics and produces her songs and videos... yes she has killing voice...also would recommend her Golden Hour concert videos...she was the first female solo kpop star to be allowed to perform in the Seoul olympic stadium....also recommend her live clips...."Love Poem", "Eight" and "Dear Name"....and if you want to see her real personality she hosts a show on youtube called IU's Palette where she interviews kpops biggest stars and also Koreas top actors and actresses ...
to be accurate, not exactly all songs tho, she only manage to take control in producing her own discography after she finish her 7 years debut contract which is when she first kickstart her age series songs with the song "23" as she turned 23. That's why some of her song from her debut period would seem cringe even for herself, since she is just a teenager when she sing those old songs of hers such as "Lost Child" and "Good Day"
Voice of an angel. Discovered her with this song when it was released, and I am a 50 year old male, and I cried like a baby! So emotional. The voice, the lyrics, the acting, etc. wow
YES!!! Agreed, IU definitely has a Beautiful and Angelic voice!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Not to mention she is rather stunning. 💜💜💜 I have never cried so much while listening to a song, but when she started belting out those lyrics, I just lost it. 🥺🥺🥺 God Bless!!! 🙏🙏🙏
V AMAZING acting out all these emotions of fear happiness sorrow furious, in a 5 minute music video is crazy because we see actors failing to act out a single emotion in an 1 hour long episode but here he is, the versatility is showing 😭They they forgot what they were running from because through the lens of the camera, they were able to just love and enjoy life until the reality caught up to them and they were taken away ICRY 😭😢
I don't think they know anything about V or BTS. They don't even mention him. This is an MV about 2 characters which Taehyung has contributed and it's sad that he is overlooked
@battleangel4833 Is it possible to know Blackpink but not BTS, the biggest boyband in the world? They have reacted to Blackpink. I have watched many reaction to this video, and none of them have failed to mention both actors in this MV. This MV is a collab of 2 superstars despite IU sings the song. Imagine only an actress appears in this MV? And Taehyung fans and Army worldwide have been watching and supporting it, bringing it to have the best viewership. IU mentioned that no other actor is more suitable to co-star in this MV than Taehyung. Both acting and their chemistry are widely-complimented. IU has previously invited him to IU's Palette and their duet is critically acclaimed. For your information, Taehyung won the 13th Soompi Award for his one and only acting role a few years ago. He is a multitalented artist but has been hidden in the group for years. Since BTS solo era, he did a number of projects and his latest solo album broke many records worldwide. Tae always supports other artists like collaborating with a new star named Umi. He is one of the few big artists who is willing to support new stars.
@battleangel4833 You don't need to like him but I only state that Taehyung deserves respect. I know a lot of IU's fans are respectful and some have become a Taehyung stan too. Our conversation ends here because you don't sound friendly at all. Without Tae's participation, this MV won't be such a success. IU's fans have acknowledged this
@battleangel4833 You’re commenting on many groups and you are not even an IU's fan. I already said that IU's fans appreciate the participation of Taehyung in this video unlike you who said that is nothing wrong not to like an artist. There is nothing wrong to dislike an artist but it's disrespectful to show your attitude publicly. After all, I have only seen IU's fans speaking nicely of Taehyung and Taehyung’s fan highly compliment her as well.. When did I disrespect IU? I love her and respect her. She’s multi-talented and is named Korea’s Sweetheart while Tae is named Korea’s Treasure. She is a good friend of Taehyung and she will be equally unhappy to see Kpoppers disrespecting her friend. I just state that the success of this MV is contributed by 2 persons. If this is Tae’s MV while IU is a co-star, we will compliment on her and give her recognition too. If you disagree, then leave it as it is. After all, Kim Taehyung is the most popular male artist worldwide. The opinion of one or two persons doesn't matter to him. It’s only that I feel he deserves recognition for working hard to produce this MV. And millions people love their acting. They are the most in-demand couple on screen right now.
IU world tour is happening 2024 with many stops in the USA. Please watch her golden hour performance of strawberry moon. It’s amazing ❤ so glad you are watching IU
😌IU is a legend in Korea and the best thing is that she is still valid after 15 years of career, something that 99% of kpop artists cannot achieve because it is a very competitive and cyclical industry, however IU is known sustain as an actress and singer for 15 years, she is a complete artist, please watch her oldest videos first to see her evolution.
I really recommend her song 'My Sea' it's one of my fave songs from her and it showcases her crazy vocals! There's also a good live version of it from her concert 'Golden Hour'! Also Love Poem is a beautiful song too with meaningful lyrics!! Thank you for the reactions!
So glad this was your introduction to IU, it is a great one to pull you in to her music • *IU* has so many national titles, she is extremely loved. She's an accomplished singer, songwriter, actress having been in many K-dramas • *V (Taehyung)* of BTS played lead male. Obviously from a well known male group, he is also an actor who has been in a couple of dramas. I know how y'all feel about not reacting to male artists but do listen to BTS on you own time. They are incredible as a group and as human beings. I suggest a guide to watch on your own called *"A Guide To BTS Members: Bangtan 7"* by Taylor Mari. • *Uhm Tae-hwa* is the MV director, he is a huge film director with movies like *"Concrete Utopia"* I suggest watching. - *"LILAC"* by *IU* is my recommendation
@@OT7_DopeOldARMY Because they feel like female artists get less exposure than male artists and aren't given the time, credit and attention that they deserve
@@Veronica.1371 Interesting. Look at the Top artists on the charts, and there are a lot of women - be it in Korea or in the West. Current US Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 is listed below. What there are NOT a lot of are groups (there are ZERO on this week's *entire* Hot 100, not counting collabs between solo artists only), or non-English speaking artists (maybe a couple...I saw Bad Bunny, for instance, and there were a couple of other Hispanic artists but I don't know if they sing in Spanish or English): 1 - Megan Thee Stallion (F) 2 - Jack Harlow (M) 3 - Taylor Swift (F) 4 - Teddy Swims (M) 5 - Tate McRae (F) 6 - Zach Bryan feat. Kacey Musgraves (M/F) 7 - Doja Cat (F) 8 - Benson Boone (M) 9 - Redrum (M) 10 - SZA (F) And most of the major Grammy awards last weekend went to women, too. I guess it's all about perception and the bubble we each live in...lol
@@OT7_DopeOldARMY But at least as an act of courtesy they have to mention Taehyung who acted so amazingly in this MV. I have watched numerous reaction videos on Love Wins All. This is the first time the reactors didn't even mention Taehyung
The cube 'Nemo' represents the discrimination towards marginalized people (symbolized in IU being mute and Taehyung being blind in one eye). They stayed together till the end with their love sustained, free from all oppression and pressure from society. LOVE WINS ALL!
IU is like BTS in the love for deeper meaning behind a song, a music video, or both. It's one of my favorite things about them all - so much more interesting than the surface-level meanings in most Western pop songs.
IU is an insanely great singer. IU also has a Killing voice episode as well, along with Mamamoo's, her Killing voice is one of (if not) the most view eps on the DIngo channel. I'm glad Mr and Mrs Coach reacted to IU
Hey CoachCastTV ! Its always nice to see people with not soo much K-Pop background reacto to Love Wins all for the first time. YES, to the killing voice feature of hers ! Its quite a good overview on her music ! Looking forward to it.
As people have said, V (Taehyung) from BTS was in the video. He filmed this just a week before leaving for military service and all our BTS boys are now serving. You should give V's solo work a chance as he has a more laid back lo-fi/jazzy style. You would love his Tiny Desk Korea performance.💜
I'm glad that you reacted to IU, in previous videos I recommended it to you along with other songs, I would really like it if you could react to killing Voice by IU. She is incredible as a person, she has great human warmth. Her songs helped me a lot and I really appreciate her a lot. Her lyrics always have a meaning. She composes and produces her songs and has been in this industry for 16 years.
The director did say viewers can have their own interpretation. The camcorder serves as a filter and allows imagination to roam freely. Everything is imagination through the camcorder. Reality resumes when you see their wounds and tattered clothes. In the end, the two of them are seen ascending to a better place through the camcorder, while they are eradicated in reality. So sad. So beautiful. So brutally real.
Thank you for the reaction video. You commented on IU's ethereal voice, but not on V. V of BTS was the co-actor in the MV. They did such a great job of acting. V released his first solo album recently, and it is utterly fantastic. He is part of BTS, who have been singing 10+ years together. I don't know much about IU, except she is an actress too. V has acted before as well, but this is their first time acting together, I think.
The pile of clothing in this video was also used in a BTS song called "Spring Day." The inspiration is an art installation by Christian Boltanski where the clothing represents "the heaviness of all the hearts now lost." BTS used it to signify the lives lost in the Sewol Ferry tragedy (mostly children). Here, it's of course those lost "to the cubes." I love that this installation I had never heard of until I saw the "Spring Day" MV now brings an instant feeling of regret to me when the concept is used in other places. IU is an amazing person and an amazing artist. She has an Internet show called "Palette" where she interviews other artists. The guest sings their own song, IU sings one of their songs with them, and they sing an IU song with her. It's a terrific show.
IU performed at a Korean festival in LA early in her career. Said she wanted to improve her English-speaking, so, she could converse with the fans. She has done that. She has an English language version of this song on UA-cam.
Like you, I thought she had never performed in the U.S. I saw "My Mister", and, discovered Lee Jieun, the actress, and, started checking info on her. That's how I found out she is IU, the singer. Did some digging on IU, and, during this process read an article about her performing at a festival in LA in the early 2010s. Don't know what the festival was for, or, exactly, when it took place. Didn't get the impression it was a concert. Probably a couple of songs and a meet & greet autograph session. My guess is it was prior to "Great Day".
She is in her 16th year and on going + in the entertainment business and still going strong. That many years experience and she still look so young huh? Some people might even think shes still barely an adult. She is 30 years old now but already at the pinnacle of her career in her 20s already. Since she started out as a minor. One of the top vocalist of south korea. She is very powerful and influential in the entertainment business. She is now a super successful actress and is in the list of one of the top richest celebrity in south korea because of being the top of her career in singing and acting.
I found IU through SUGA of BTS. He has done two collaborations with her. By the way, the actor that played her love interest in this video is V (Kim Taehyung) of BTS. He was a guest on her talk show, and they sang a few songs. You might enjoy that. I can see if I can find the clips. And I'll link you the collaboration songs with SUGA of BTS. She has also sang with J-Hope of BTS as well.

YES SHE THE PRINCESS OF KOREA BUT THIS MV IS GOING VERAL BECAUSE OF THE MAN THAT IS WITH HER, HE IS THE MOST HANDSOM MAN IN THE WORLD (CHECK GOOGLE) HE IS THE PRINCE OF KOREA ( V OF THE KPOP GROUP BTS THE BEST GROUP IN THE WORLD)
IU is a singer-songwriter, music producer, actress, and host, as well as a passionate philanthropist. Her voice is angelic, and her personality mirrors that of an angel. In a country with a high suicide rate like South Korea, she endeavors to convey various forms of love and solace through her music. She hopes to assist those who are in pain and despair, providing them with strength and comfort emotionally. I believe you will enjoy the song "Love poem." I recommend watching IU's 20-minute live performance in "Killing Voice" (with English subtitles). This will give you an understanding of her vocal abilities across various music genres. Despite suffering from nasal inflammation and not being in the best physical condition on the recording day, she delivered a flawless performance, making this video currently the most popular in the "Killing Voice" series.
Thank you for sharing your reaction ❤️. You guys are right, IU is insanely popular in Korea, but the hype around this video was also because this song is her 1st single since 2021 PLUS her costar in this video is V, a member of the kpop group BTS. V, aka Taehyung, has a LOT of fans who loved seeing him here 💜
Thank you for reacting to this music video! IU really has a beautiful voice and the emotional performance of IU and V from BTS was spectacular! It's a pity you haven't had the chance to hear V sing...his baritone voice is so warm and soothing to the soul. It would be great if you could react to a duet of IU and V ("Ending Scene"), when he was a guest in her show, IU's Palette. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/1a3-A6ae2sc/v-deo.htmlsi=EZm-gVW6Yvnbq9hD
IU's popularity is growing in the West as people are becoming exposed to her. She is on Rolling Stone's list of Best Singers of All-Time. Also, she is on Spotify, which gives her even more exposure.
IU "Love Always Wins" V's character is blind in one eye... it's why she touches that eye when first looking through the camera, and covers the other eye at the end(so he won't see the end). Protecting him, while she faces it head one. And it took Me more than one viewing to notice this. They both appear to be Mute... to have "No Voice" in their world or in their life/futures.
Hi this is from the Philippines. I watched a lot of reaction videos/reactors. My first time seeing your channel. Just stay true, be sincere, do not exaggerate and you’ll be fine. I am BTS V (male lead on video) fan so i checked this video. Kinda wish you give a little comment on V’s acting. IU is like Taylor Swift of South Korea. She’s more famous on kdrama in most Asian countries. The guy is very famous. He is V aka Taehyung from Kpop group BTS. Both are national treasure and the kindest people you may find in Korea and in the World. Both talented and hardworking. Thanks for giving them a chance. Checking their music or videos
@CoachCastTV , is not about only handicapped at all as some in comments mentioned. Unfortunately, South Korea is a highly judgmental country and in order not to get hate or a death threats as the majority of Korean fans (and the rest of the Conservatives on earth) practice per usual if something does not suit their mental capacity, only relationship between female and male characters, in one eye blind V of BTS and deaf and mute I.U are depicted in MV. CUBE is used as a metaphor for a "perfect society" pointing fingers, trying to put everyone inside their own ugly thinking box, seeng disabilities as a curse, scrutinising, judging, abusing, insulting and in many cases killing other people with a different point of view and love preferences. The world which is trying everything to look down on "inperfects", "damaged goods", free-spirited individuals forcing to comply what they are convinced is the "righteousness". Going after minorities, hating on everything and everyone they even do not know, not letting people love who they love, not letting people be who they want to be, seeng ugliness in love and freedom instead of the beauty and power of love, the only thing real in this computer simulated programme, the game called 'Human Civilisation' you all are experiencing. This song, IU's and V's top, madterful acting, her incredebly heavenly voice, MV, meaning, message behind to how beautiful and perfect life could be as shown through lovers camera lenses wuthout haters in Director Uhm's work is a pure cinematic masterpiece, a great example, the reminder to entire Humankind that only thing what really matters is freedom, kindness and love towards one and all. Manage to achieve all said above in a just 5:23 minutes on top of heartbreakingly sad, melancholic, tragic yet most beautiful love story is nothing short of the miracle, the miracle that the glorious, eternal love itself is. Take best care of yourselves, to others and to each other, and remember that only Love Wins all. With love eternal and many blessings to you all, yours, MadeInArt, MadeinArt13. 💜💜💜
My KPop Group Trifecta... Mamamoo, BlackPink, and SHINee. SOLOISTS... Bae Suzy, IU(meaing I and You...real name Lee Ji-eun), and Kim SeJeong(who is an Huge IU fan girl LoL). ALL of whom are Very good actresses as well. Sejeong is the Reason I got into KPop Sejeong is such a IU fan girl, that once when she was in an interview talking about her own new release... IU came up in conversation and she ended up talking about IU instead of her Own music. And was just on IU's Palette. It's a must see... IU gets a little flustered with how much of a FAN GIRL Sejeong is. [IU's Palette🎨] SEJEONG's heart is on a 'Voyage' to IU (With KIM SEJEONG) Ep.23 ua-cam.com/video/DFvKDNgbPrc/v-deo.html
MUST SEE...Sejeong's Cover of IU's "MY SEA" [CLEAN_ver.] 김세정(KIM SEJEONG) - 아이와 나의 바다 (IU) ua-cam.com/video/nstKzbzRwY0/v-deo.html Kim Sejeong co-wrote the music and lyrics for all of the songs on Her album "Door"
IU have been making music for 15 years or so. She is a talent who have nurtured her vocal skills to a higher level. She is known for her ballets, sure, but she also do other things. You should try and listing to Holssi (if you haven't already). It's another vibe. A bit trippy but also a fantastic song :)
Mr and Mr Coach I don't know if Golden Voice of Korea is IU or Rosé , I have seen wars in comments about this topic , I am one defending Rosé , but People call Rosé as Golden Voice of Korea and Also IU , IU's voice is really good , I would consider IU and Rosé as Golden Voices of Korea.
The guy V from BTS would also be considered royalty as much as IU. He didn’t sing in this but he was a guest actor and I think he waa phenomenal! But this is the first IU song i’ve ever heard and I only learned about her from BTS. But wow I am totally a fan of hers now!
Yes this was such amazing song and music video I watched this over 100 times and still cry because of the lyrics and true concept and the acting by IU & V was believable good and fun fact IU Did this with the flu in very cold temperatures plus her and v had to run over 7 hours total one day while being sick she felt so bad for getting v in that part joking of course she is a amazing artist and human being love her so much
15 years ago ! One of her first mv and debut is also awesome at the age of 15. “Lost child”. Already sounds like a veteran singer at the age of 15. Its a more upbeat ballad. Not slow at all. Good song of her early career when she was a minor
I'm glad to see you got to IU, she has several live clips on her channel that are safe to react to. If you don't want to do a live clip at this point, Bbibbi or Twenty-three would show her more quirky and upbeat side. The killing voice would be good too, if you have the time for it.
The music video has a lot of views and is trending because V from the group BTS is in it. But IU herself is the greatest female soloist in south korea history, she is unmatched when it comes to popularity there for female soloists. So what happens when you bring the biggest kpop solo female artist and put her together with one member of the greatest kpop artist/group of all time? You break records and you are the talk of the music scene for the whole year.
Another little tit bit about IU ..she often has notifications after her videos ( IU palette and IU TV )for missing children she sings like an Angel and has the heart of an Angel
IU and V are good friends in real life. And they sound beautiful together too. They did a duet called "Ending Scene", a lovely song with her clear angelic voice and his smooth deep baritone.
JYP staff/producer turn down IU and't didn't pick her as a trainee, JYP himself was so regretful of that :) Now she is one of the biggest vocalist ever. But thats life, If jyp would pick her to be in a girl group, IU wouldn't be who she is now.
IU comes from a very poor childhood. Her Grandma workt hard to pay for her training. Nobody wanted to have her as a singer. At her first test concert ther was only one fan , thats why the name is I and U ( you). IU is known to give a lot of her income to the the peopole / Organisationen in Need which she Handpicks. Her songs always land in the top five in the Nation Rankings, sometimes in front of groups like Blackpink or Twice.
I watched a short documentary and it definitely seemed like her early life formed her into the caring person she seems to be with humanity and humility. In a discussion podcast somebody rhetorically asked why she was so popular and the answer was she’s basically like the perfect celebrity. Compelling life story, top singer, actress, philanthropist, good attitude, just a beautiful person from most perspectives.
IU is sensational. Her Killing Voice is the highest viewed episode. Ironically, she was sick when recording the K.V. and also had a flu and cough when recording “Love Wins All.” She still sounds like angels singing from Heaven.
If you wanna see energetic IU, I can say 'Celebrity, LILAC, COIN, BBI BBI, Blueming, 23, Good Day, Hold My Hand, YOU & I, The Red Shoes, Last Night Story and strawberry moon' More relaxing - non ballady but not too energetic 'Friday, eight, Palette and Every End Of The Day' ' BALLADS are 'My Sea, Dear Name, Love Poem, Lost Child, Knees, above the time, Through The Night, Ending Scene, The Story Only I Didn't Know and Bad Day' I can say that you can start with some energetic song, particularly Celebrity, BBI BBI, Blueming, LILAC and than you can do age series '23, Palette (for her 25th age) and eight (for her 28th age) and than yo can do some ballads particularly 'My Sea, Love Poem, Through The Night and Dear Name' I want a special thing for Ballad songs of her, please initially watch lyric video and than go watch them live, her lives are always on FIRE! and yes you can watch Killing Voice, her Killing Voice performance is the most viewed in all Killing Voices. in lives I can request that 'My Sea special clip, Hold My Hand special clip, Blueming special clip and lastly for me very precious one is Through The Night + Dear Name MMA 2017 performance' THANKS FOR ALLL GUYS SEE YOU NEXT IU VIDEO IN VERRRRY SOOOON PLEASEEE
I believe that you both will have fun in doing a deep dive into BTS videos they do all different styles of music plus all the members solo song are also incredible 💜 I love your genuine and positive thoughts about our nation's treasure
We appreciate you coach and Mrs coach! Hope you are feeling better, and don’t feel you have to react to everything people request or comment on every comment. And dont feel you need to explain yourselves or ever apologize. You will never please everyone. 99% of your subscribers LOVE you guys. I know I do. Really enjoy your reactions. Feel like you are family!
For another emotional ballad from IU, check out "Love Poem", which is supposedly aimed at people who are considering suicide. There is a live version taped in a studio that is incredible. Of her more upbeat songs, my favorite is Blueming. But for all that she is a fantastic songwriter and singer, her acting is what really blows me away. Some of her TV dramas on Netflix, like My Mister and Hotel del Luna show her incredible range as an actress and she was nominated for an award at Cannes Film Festival for her role in the movie Broker.
Two of IU's live concert videos from her current world tour are out. To experience her popularity, I think her live concert videos are the way to go. The "Shopper" video is a really good example of her connection with her fans. I find it both interesting and fascinating. The fan chants remind me of a college sporting event. 15,000 fans yelling a scripted chant as she sings. She has fan videos instructing when and what to chant. I compare her to Linda Ronstadt, because of her versatility. I've heard her sing Pop, R&B, Jazz, Rock & Roll, Rap, Country. Almost anything, and, she sings in 5 languages. Her life story reminds me of "The Coalminer's Daughter". Whether you like her music, or, not, her talent and charisma are undeniable, and, her life story is the kind they make movies about.
Welcome to the amazing world of IU. She started auditioning when she was 13 and was rejected 20 times. In one interview before auditioning for the biggest company she was asked what if she wasn't accepted. She replied that would be ok because she knew she was going to be a singer. Coach, how many 13 year olds do you know who after trying out 20 times and being told No 20 times would still be positive and keep trying? I dont know it I know any. She was signed by a small company when was 14 and debuted 10 months later. Her debute wasn't a very good start, she was boo'd and jeered. The song while a very good song its subject was not what kpop fans were expecting or wanting from a 15 year old. She became a National star in 2010 with her #1 Good Day and Nagging. Over the next 14 years she had over 30 #1 hits more than twice as many as any other kpop artist. In 2019 she became the first kpop artist to due a concert in the round at Olympic Gymnastics Arena, which has become an iconic concert. In Sept of 2022 she became the 1st female singer or group to headline a concert at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul, where the 90,000 tickets sold out in 30 minutes with just under 500,000 waiting in the queue. She is also an awarding actress. She has been the leading female in 7 kdrama's with the 8th schedule for release this year on Netflix. She has starred in 3 of the most popular kdramas of all time. Two of which are currently available on Netflix. Hotel del Luna and My Mister. From her performance in My Mister she was offered the lead in the movie Broker, which debuted at Cannes Film Festival in Feb of 2022. It recieved a 12 minute standing ovation and IU was nominated for Best Actress. She is a model as well. In addition to locale and National brands she is a model for Pepsi, New Balance, Este Lauder, and a Global Ambassador for GUCCI. She is one of the best vocalist in the world today. Rolling Stone Magazine goes even further calling her one of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time as they had her to their list in January of 2023. She has never performed a concert in the west. She has been to the US one time in 2014 for the Kpop convention. But she was very frustrated because her English wasn't good enough to really talk with her fans. She stated in an interview she would learn english before she returned. And she is coming to the US this year as part of her World Tour. Currently 6 cities are scheduled starting with Atlanta on July 19, followed by D.C., Newark NJ, Chicago, Oakland and LA. Her fan base has been growing in the west primarily from social media, and her songs and MV's on UA-cam and her songs on spotify. You don't become the #1 trending music video in the world without a good fan base in the US. And on top of all the above she is an angel. Never negative and she has had plenty of reason to be negative at times. Below I have provided a few links for your consideration. As good as she sounds recorded she sounds even better live.

This is an outstanding comment and we appreciate you taking time to leave it. And you are correct, not many people of any age would deal with rejection that many times and keep going. Good for her to achieve this success!
IU is "mainstream" in SK, folks respect her - classy actress, singer, songwriter and produser. I see cube as people whom want to put down others whom dont fit in cube-people standars. And everyone of us can think - am I one of those cube-peoples who are behind that screen (V is hitting)? When you use your "cube" and write/ read comments - what you find there? Sorry my english and greetings from the north edge of Europe And... Christian Bolanski (artist behind of 'pile of clothes'): Each piece of clothing was deposited on top of the mountain pile, symbolically carrying the “souls” of those who inhabited the clothes to a “higher place.” In this work, the mountain was an eternal afterlife of sorts, where every individual rests after death. (BTS used that piece of art in 'Spring day' MV)
Thanks for this reaction. When they say she’s royalty in SK, they MEAN it! Barracks have been known to empty out when she makes a tv appearance. lol! If you want to hear more of her singing, I suggest listening to one of her earliest songs called Good Day. She does a high 3 note progression at the end without even batting an eyelash. She’s that good! When you read her backstory you’ll be even more impressed. She’s also an amazing talented actress and talk show host (IU’s Pallete) Enjoy getting to know her. 🙏🏽
Y'all are a conduit of joy and part of my daily morning routine! 😅 Also this song and video is gorgeous. Their acting is great as expected!
Thank you so much!!
@SirAustin
Hello ! 😁
Iu recorded this song when she had a bad cold and was constantly coughing and taking a little rest. Even so, she recorded this track perfectly. also, iu can be called an Angel, she really is like that. She has donated a lot of money during her career. She is always kind to everyone and loves her fans. Unfortunately, iu lost 3 of her friends, it's suicide. The song called "eight" is dedicated to him and most of all to her friend Sulli. I advise you to react to it. There is a clip.
Yeah absolutely, I was so worried seen her recording this. Timing and compromises forced her to that schedule, she is the toughest cookie I know.
FINALLY MY IDOL! THANKS MR. AND MRS. COACH!
Check out her live performances. Recommend Blueming and Hold My Hand. She's so dynamic on stage and sings just as well live.
IU love her 😍 She's a good actress too.
the cube represents something else....it´s not scifi.....some say it´s the industry, some say it´s old age, illness, rough world around us etc etc..... but they stick together no matter what!
Sir try to watch her love all wins recording,, she's so amazing,
V of BTS acted in this MV
We need coach to reaction V musics❤❤❤
@@AliflLuqman15 oh yes tiny desk NPR layover live performance
Maybe them no like BTS, in 300 reacts no have anyone by BTS...😮😮😮
To me, the video is about how the machine (cube) of industry/media pursues you constantly, leaving you battered and bruised, and, in the end, can suck the life out of you. IU is fantastic and her and V's acting in this is stellar.
Oh, this is a very good analogy.
@@CoachCastTV I'm just copy pasting an explaination I saw under another video:
The Cube represents society, it is chasing every individual who doesn't fit the standards of society. Here V is half blind, IU is deaf and mute. So they are running from oppression of society. The world is controled by these standards of perfection to the point that people in the world put masks on when they don't have make-up or when they feel inssecure or they wear hats when their hair is messy. The MV is a dystopian view of our society. While they are trying to hide in this abondonned place filled with the clothes of people who died because of this oppression, they find a camera that allows them to have an illusion of what their lives could be if they were "normal" by society's standards, it starts with their looks, they could see how they would have looked like, then what they would eat, then they start to feel the illusion a bit too much to the point they beautifully imagine that IU could sing and V could sing as well and she could listen to his voice, they could marry each other and just have fun and eat whatever they want because they wouldn't have to care about society or any other kind of oppression. However, as soon as they feel a little bit of confort and try to live their life, the Cube (society) finds them again and push them to retreat and flee again, but the Cube managed to find them again, they try to survive against it and try to fight it as hard as they can, but they cannot beat a stronger system, they just give up but at least they stayed together until the end. Even if they died at the end, they loved each other deeply, it shows that even if society is oppressive, people can love each other and they can find their soulmate even if they are not "normal or perfect" to the eyes of some many others. The pile of clothes is like from Spring Day, these people died because of injustice, but they deserved love, so the pile of clothes can look very gloomy and sad, but as in Spring Day MV if you don't forget them you can seem them happy and free where they are right now...
And crazy culture where idol are not allowed to have personal lives. Once they get married, their career died
IU can't hear and V’s one eye can't see ,in the end IU covered the good eyes of Taehyung so he won't see the horrible ending in front of them ,im Stuck at how a single tear from Taehyung’s good eye traced its path down his face and IU’s hand gently covered his eyes, It's as if he found a momentary refuge in her touch, offering a subtle relief from the overwhelming sensation ... AH I CAN'T STOP CRYING 😢
Maybe them no like BTS, in 300 reacts no have anyone by BTS...😮😮😮
@@khristinacruz9107 I think you're right. For some reason, they only react to female kpop stars. Some Americans dislike saying anything nice about Asian males.
@@hd7704 It doesn't matter, but when I follow reactions I like to see what the channel's style is and I saw that they also react to male metal bands, but in the first videos they give a very enthusiastic thank you to blackpink fans for their support and even call them of "dad and mom", so maybe it's not good to mix, I just didn't think it was fair that BTS fans didn't know and kept asking when I know they won't do it. Thank you anyway.
@@khristinacruz9107 I don't think it's about fairness. They're just being naive or clueless. Some people have negative stereotypes about Kpop, but they're only happy to indulge in the stereotypes about female Kpop stars
Great reaction as always. Yeah, IU is something else. While Girls Generation is "The Nations Girl Group", IU is "Nations Little Sister", likely the most influential K-Pop solo artist of all times. This song already achieved its "Perfect All-Kill" status (which means it simultaneously took the top spot on all eight Korean music charts). The MV for "Love Wins All" was directed by Um Tae-hwa (one of the most successfull and award winning directors in Korea) and features V from BTS (the biggest boy group in the world) as male actor, who is not even singing in the song. Shows, how everybody wants to comes running when IU asks them to collaborate on a project.
She is the Korean artist other Korean artists look up to. The "idol of idols" so to speak. She debuted at the age of 15 back in 2008 (not even one year after the debut of Girls Generation, to put it into perspective). Today she basically has her "own" exclusive label with EDAM (established specifically for her) where she produces, composes and writes many of her songs. She also has own variety tv interview show (Palette) and her long running reality tv series (IU TV); both available for free on her UA-cam channel. To top it off, she is also one of the most successful and award winning actress in Korean Entertainment. I for example first got to know her through one of her K-Drama roles.
Yes, she has an amazing killing voice episode, although it would of course spoil her songs. So I would watch that a bit later, after you're more familiar with her. What I consider as two of the most important "must watch" suggestions for her are:
1. Her MV for "Eight" and the UA-cam video "IU Eight explained by a Korean" because it showcases how meaningful her songs can be (and teaches you a bit about the K-Pop industry as well)
2. Her Live Performances for "Blueming" (from 2019 Love Poem concert) and "Eight" (from 2022 ) both record breaking concerts in their own ways, giving you a glimpse into how big she really is
She usually also publishes great Behind The Scenes episodes for most of her releases. For example I can highly recommend the two BTS episodes for the Golden Hour concert and as well as the two BTS episodes for Love WIns All (MV making off, recording of the song).
Final suggestion for your patreon: Why not add a K-Drama to your reaction mix? One episode per week, maybe as a nice weekend release exlusive on patreon? A whole other world (and fanbase) opening for you, expanding your Korean entertainment knowledge? You could start with one of IUs K-Dramas (I would suggest "Hotel Del Luna", available on Netflix)
V the actor who takes role as her lover is from a group called BTS which I think you guys know of since they are the biggest group in the world. Iu has an amazing voice literally made me cry
IU discography is definitely a must check out if you’re exploring kpop.
Killing voice is good one , she sings some songs she wrote during her 20s there. Though her face looks like a 18 years old teenager she’s actually 30.
And if you wanna check out her other MVs , i saw someone recommend eight which is definitely a good one since the song is tribute to her 3 friends that passed away. I also wanna recommend “Good day” since it’s probably the “blew up” moment for her with the iconic 3 level 13-seconds high notes she did. And coincidentally, Today 13 years ago is the day that she released “Good day”😂
IU fandom name : Uaena
IU/Lee Ji-eun is a South Korean actress, singer, songwriter and record producer. She debuted in 2008 with her 1st EP or 1st Album "Lost and Found". IU is called "Nation's Little Sister". I love her music so much. She is one of my favorite solo artists. She is such a beauty ! I really adore her. She is THE BEST.

AWESOME post! Thank you so much! I hope EVERYBODY sees this! :)
Best vocalist, best lyricist, best singer 😍 IU is amazing
IU has the voice of an angel. Truly remarkable artist. Can’t wait to see you check out some more of her work🔥
The truly amazing thing is that she recorded this while she had the flu😮
Wow!
IU debuted at 15 and is 30 years old now....she writes all her lyrics and produces her songs and videos... yes she has killing voice...also would recommend her Golden Hour concert videos...she was the first female solo kpop star to be allowed to perform in the Seoul olympic stadium....also recommend her live clips...."Love Poem", "Eight" and "Dear Name"....and if you want to see her real personality she hosts a show on youtube called IU's Palette where she interviews kpops biggest stars and also Koreas top actors and actresses ...
Strawberry moon from golden hour 🍓🌙
to be accurate, not exactly all songs tho, she only manage to take control in producing her own discography after she finish her 7 years debut contract which is when she first kickstart her age series songs with the song "23" as she turned 23. That's why some of her song from her debut period would seem cringe even for herself, since she is just a teenager when she sing those old songs of hers such as "Lost Child" and "Good Day"
Voice of an angel. Discovered her with this song when it was released, and I am a 50 year old male, and I cried like a baby! So emotional. The voice, the lyrics, the acting, etc. wow
YES!!! Agreed, IU definitely has a Beautiful and Angelic voice!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Not to mention she is rather stunning. 💜💜💜 I have never cried so much while listening to a song, but when she started belting out those lyrics, I just lost it. 🥺🥺🥺 God Bless!!! 🙏🙏🙏
V AMAZING acting out all these emotions of fear happiness sorrow furious, in a 5 minute music video is crazy because we see actors failing to act out a single emotion in an 1 hour long episode but here he is, the versatility is showing 😭They they forgot what they were running from because through the lens of the camera, they were able to just love and enjoy life until the reality caught up to them and they were taken away ICRY 😭😢
LMAOOO THIS COMMENT GOT ME DYING😭😭 “actors failing after an hour long episode” is soo true😂😂
I don't think they know anything about V or BTS. They don't even mention him. This is an MV about 2 characters which Taehyung has contributed and it's sad that he is overlooked
@battleangel4833 Is it possible to know Blackpink but not BTS, the biggest boyband in the world? They have reacted to Blackpink. I have watched many reaction to this video, and none of them have failed to mention both actors in this MV. This MV is a collab of 2 superstars despite IU sings the song. Imagine only an actress appears in this MV? And Taehyung fans and Army worldwide have been watching and supporting it, bringing it to have the best viewership. IU mentioned that no other actor is more suitable to co-star in this MV than Taehyung. Both acting and their chemistry are widely-complimented. IU has previously invited him to IU's Palette and their duet is critically acclaimed. For your information, Taehyung won the 13th Soompi Award for his one and only acting role a few years ago. He is a multitalented artist but has been hidden in the group for years. Since BTS solo era, he did a number of projects and his latest solo album broke many records worldwide. Tae always supports other artists like collaborating with a new star named Umi. He is one of the few big artists who is willing to support new stars.
@battleangel4833 You don't need to like him but I only state that Taehyung deserves respect. I know a lot of IU's fans are respectful and some have become a Taehyung stan too. Our conversation ends here because you don't sound friendly at all. Without Tae's participation, this MV won't be such a success. IU's fans have acknowledged this
@battleangel4833
You’re commenting on many groups and you are not even an IU's fan. I already said that IU's fans appreciate the participation of Taehyung in this video unlike you who said that is nothing wrong not to like an artist. There is nothing wrong to dislike an artist but it's disrespectful to show your attitude publicly. After all, I have only seen IU's fans speaking nicely of Taehyung and Taehyung’s fan highly compliment her as well..
When did I disrespect IU? I love her and respect her. She’s multi-talented and is named Korea’s Sweetheart while Tae is named Korea’s Treasure. She is a good friend of Taehyung and she will be equally unhappy to see Kpoppers disrespecting her friend. I just state that the success of this MV is contributed by 2 persons. If this is Tae’s MV while IU is a co-star, we will compliment on her and give her recognition too. If you disagree, then leave it as it is. After all, Kim Taehyung is the most popular male artist worldwide. The opinion of one or two persons doesn't matter to him. It’s only that I feel he deserves recognition for working hard to produce this MV. And millions people love their acting. They are the most in-demand couple on screen right now.
IU world tour is happening 2024 with many stops in the USA. Please watch her golden hour performance of strawberry moon. It’s amazing ❤ so glad you are watching IU
😌IU is a legend in Korea and the best thing is that she is still valid after 15 years of career, something that 99% of kpop artists cannot achieve because it is a very competitive and cyclical industry, however IU is known sustain as an actress and singer for 15 years, she is a complete artist, please watch her oldest videos first to see her evolution.
the guy in the music video is V from bts.He also a good singer .Maybe coach can react to his music. You can watch his song "love me again" (2023)❤❤
I really recommend her song 'My Sea' it's one of my fave songs from her and it showcases her crazy vocals! There's also a good live version of it from her concert 'Golden Hour'! Also Love Poem is a beautiful song too with meaningful lyrics!! Thank you for the reactions!
So glad this was your introduction to IU, it is a great one to pull you in to her music
• *IU* has so many national titles, she is extremely loved. She's an accomplished singer, songwriter, actress having been in many K-dramas
• *V (Taehyung)* of BTS played lead male. Obviously from a well known male group, he is also an actor who has been in a couple of dramas. I know how y'all feel about not reacting to male artists but do listen to BTS on you own time. They are incredible as a group and as human beings. I suggest a guide to watch on your own called *"A Guide To BTS Members: Bangtan 7"* by Taylor Mari.
• *Uhm Tae-hwa* is the MV director, he is a huge film director with movies like *"Concrete Utopia"* I suggest watching.
- *"LILAC"* by *IU* is my recommendation
Wait, they won't react to male artists? Why in the world?????
@@OT7_DopeOldARMY Because they feel like female artists get less exposure than male artists and aren't given the time, credit and attention that they deserve
@@Veronica.1371 Interesting. Look at the Top artists on the charts, and there are a lot of women - be it in Korea or in the West. Current US Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 is listed below. What there are NOT a lot of are groups (there are ZERO on this week's *entire* Hot 100, not counting collabs between solo artists only), or non-English speaking artists (maybe a couple...I saw Bad Bunny, for instance, and there were a couple of other Hispanic artists but I don't know if they sing in Spanish or English):
1 - Megan Thee Stallion (F)
2 - Jack Harlow (M)
3 - Taylor Swift (F)
4 - Teddy Swims (M)
5 - Tate McRae (F)
6 - Zach Bryan feat. Kacey Musgraves (M/F)
7 - Doja Cat (F)
8 - Benson Boone (M)
9 - Redrum (M)
10 - SZA (F)
And most of the major Grammy awards last weekend went to women, too. I guess it's all about perception and the bubble we each live in...lol
Thanks for introducing BTS V Kim Taehyung. His contribution of his great acting in this MV should be acknowledged
@@OT7_DopeOldARMY But at least as an act of courtesy they have to mention Taehyung who acted so amazingly in this MV. I have watched numerous reaction videos on Love Wins All. This is the first time the reactors didn't even mention Taehyung
The cube 'Nemo' represents the discrimination towards marginalized people (symbolized in IU being mute and Taehyung being blind in one eye).
They stayed together till the end with their love sustained, free from all oppression and pressure from society.
LOVE WINS ALL!
IU is like BTS in the love for deeper meaning behind a song, a music video, or both. It's one of my favorite things about them all - so much more interesting than the surface-level meanings in most Western pop songs.
Yes please do the killing voice. Bibi is also a good mv😊
+1
@battleangel4833 no sorry I am just bad at typing 😅 I would also like to see a colab 🤩
IU is an insanely great singer. IU also has a Killing voice episode as well, along with Mamamoo's, her Killing voice is one of (if not) the most view eps on the DIngo channel. I'm glad Mr and Mrs Coach reacted to IU
Hey CoachCastTV !
Its always nice to see people with not soo much K-Pop background reacto to Love Wins all for the first time.
YES, to the killing voice feature of hers !
Its quite a good overview on her music !
Looking forward to it.
Please react to V's solo work too :) Coach, you'd love his voice, he's got that bluesy jazz sound!
Watch his Tiny Desk Performance :)
So happy to see you react to IU! Her songs and voice have gotten me through a lot of tough times, she’s definitely a comfort artist for me. ❣️
With that voice, we can understand why.
As people have said, V (Taehyung) from BTS was in the video. He filmed this just a week before leaving for military service and all our BTS boys are now serving.
You should give V's solo work a chance as he has a more laid back lo-fi/jazzy style. You would love his Tiny Desk Korea performance.💜
The pule of clothes reminds Bts Army of the song Spring Day by bts i cried seeing that
I'm glad that you reacted to IU, in previous videos I recommended it to you along with other songs, I would really like it if you could react to killing Voice by IU.
She is incredible as a person, she has great human warmth. Her songs helped me a lot and I really appreciate her a lot. Her lyrics always have a meaning.
She composes and produces her songs and has been in this industry for 16 years.
Her voice is mesmerizing.
The director did say viewers can have their own interpretation.
The camcorder serves as a filter and allows imagination to roam freely. Everything is imagination through the camcorder.
Reality resumes when you see their wounds and tattered clothes.
In the end, the two of them are seen ascending to a better place through the camcorder, while they are eradicated in reality.
So sad. So beautiful. So brutally real.
Thank you for the reaction video. You commented on IU's ethereal voice, but not on V. V of BTS was the co-actor in the MV. They did such a great job of acting. V released his first solo album recently, and it is utterly fantastic. He is part of BTS, who have been singing 10+ years together. I don't know much about IU, except she is an actress too. V has acted before as well, but this is their first time acting together, I think.
Yes, I do love this beautiful song, and I love IU's voice. This is my first time hearing her sing
The pile of clothing in this video was also used in a BTS song called "Spring Day." The inspiration is an art installation by Christian Boltanski where the clothing represents "the heaviness of all the hearts now lost." BTS used it to signify the lives lost in the Sewol Ferry tragedy (mostly children). Here, it's of course those lost "to the cubes." I love that this installation I had never heard of until I saw the "Spring Day" MV now brings an instant feeling of regret to me when the concept is used in other places.
IU is an amazing person and an amazing artist. She has an Internet show called "Palette" where she interviews other artists. The guest sings their own song, IU sings one of their songs with them, and they sing an IU song with her. It's a terrific show.
Yeah!!! IU killing Voice next 🤗💖🤞💯🫶🔝✨
and she is for the first time coming to the US this summer to perform in six cities......
Oh, cool! :)
IU performed at a Korean festival in LA early in her career. Said she wanted to improve her English-speaking, so, she could converse with the fans. She has done that. She has an English language version of this song on UA-cam.
@@keithkurumaji3886 Oh! I had no idea she had been in the U.S. already. When did that happen? Any idea of the date?
Like you, I thought she had never performed in the U.S. I saw "My Mister", and, discovered Lee Jieun, the actress, and, started checking info on her. That's how I found out she is IU, the singer. Did some digging on IU, and, during this process read an article about her performing at a festival in LA in the early 2010s. Don't know what the festival was for, or, exactly, when it took place. Didn't get the impression it was a concert. Probably a couple of songs and a meet & greet autograph session. My guess is it was prior to "Great Day".
@@keithkurumaji3886 Awesome. Thank you for answering the best you can. :)
Please react to her live concert the golden hour EIGHT LIVE AND NY SEA
V taehyung amazing 💯👏👏👏
V taehyung amazing 💯👏👏👏
She is in her 16th year and on going + in the entertainment business and still going strong. That many years experience and she still look so young huh? Some people might even think shes still barely an adult. She is 30 years old now but already at the pinnacle of her career in her 20s already. Since she started out as a minor. One of the top vocalist of south korea. She is very powerful and influential in the entertainment business. She is now a super successful actress and is in the list of one of the top richest celebrity in south korea because of being the top of her career in singing and acting.
Please Lee Jazz de V
Yes, I love V voice there ❣️
Pls reaction on BTS....pls...pls....
Love from India......
I found IU through SUGA of BTS. He has done two collaborations with her. By the way, the actor that played her love interest in this video is V (Kim Taehyung) of BTS. He was a guest on her talk show, and they sang a few songs. You might enjoy that. I can see if I can find the clips. And I'll link you the collaboration songs with SUGA of BTS. She has also sang with J-Hope of BTS as well.

If you like Kdramas, IU was in one called My Mister. It was excellent. You guys are great
Thank you!
BTS ❤
It's weird when some people at certain times demand complete and linear narratives from a brief music video. I wonder why 🤔
YES SHE THE PRINCESS OF KOREA BUT THIS MV IS GOING VERAL BECAUSE OF THE MAN THAT IS WITH HER, HE IS THE MOST HANDSOM MAN IN THE WORLD (CHECK GOOGLE) HE IS THE PRINCE OF KOREA ( V OF THE KPOP GROUP BTS THE BEST GROUP IN THE WORLD)
IU is a singer-songwriter, music producer, actress, and host, as well as a passionate philanthropist. Her voice is angelic, and her personality mirrors that of an angel. In a country with a high suicide rate like South Korea, she endeavors to convey various forms of love and solace through her music. She hopes to assist those who are in pain and despair, providing them with strength and comfort emotionally. I believe you will enjoy the song "Love poem."
I recommend watching IU's 20-minute live performance in "Killing Voice" (with English subtitles). This will give you an understanding of her vocal abilities across various music genres. Despite suffering from nasal inflammation and not being in the best physical condition on the recording day, she delivered a flawless performance, making this video currently the most popular in the "Killing Voice" series.
Please react to blackpink performance lovesickgirl in tokyo dome concert
Taehyung tambien es cantante y actor productor modelo y tiene una gran voz y ella bueno es muy conocida muy buena cantante y actriz
Pls react bts guys
Thank you for sharing your reaction ❤️. You guys are right, IU is insanely popular in Korea, but the hype around this video was also because this song is her 1st single since 2021 PLUS her costar in this video is V, a member of the kpop group BTS. V, aka Taehyung, has a LOT of fans who loved seeing him here 💜
Iu❤
Thank you for reacting to this music video! IU really has a beautiful voice and the emotional performance of IU and V from BTS was spectacular! It's a pity you haven't had the chance to hear V sing...his baritone voice is so warm and soothing to the soul. It would be great if you could react to a duet of IU and V ("Ending Scene"), when he was a guest in her show, IU's Palette. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/1a3-A6ae2sc/v-deo.htmlsi=EZm-gVW6Yvnbq9hD
PLS REACT BTS
Yes!! Killing voice from IU please.. 😂 thankyou ❤️
You should listen to V “Fri(end)s
IU's popularity is growing in the West as people are becoming exposed to her. She is on Rolling Stone's list of Best Singers of All-Time. Also, she is on Spotify, which gives her even more exposure.
That's wonderful to hear!
IU "Love Always Wins"
V's character is blind in one eye... it's why she touches that eye when first looking through the camera, and covers the other eye at the end(so he won't see the end). Protecting him, while she faces it head one. And it took Me more than one viewing to notice this.
They both appear to be Mute... to have "No Voice" in their world or in their life/futures.
Hi this is from the Philippines. I watched a lot of reaction videos/reactors. My first time seeing your channel. Just stay true, be sincere, do not exaggerate and you’ll be fine. I am BTS V (male lead on video) fan so i checked this video. Kinda wish you give a little comment on V’s acting.
IU is like Taylor Swift of South Korea. She’s more famous on kdrama in most Asian countries. The guy is very famous. He is V aka Taehyung from Kpop group BTS. Both are national treasure and the kindest people you may find in Korea and in the World. Both talented and hardworking. Thanks for giving them a chance. Checking their music or videos
Hi, appreciate you taking time to watch and comment.
IU is a close friend of BTS, Taehyung V, Suga and Jungkook IU's biggest fan 😂🥰🥰🥰
our beloved IU is both popular Idol & Actress
Her voice is so pretty
She is also richest Kpop idol
@CoachCastTV , is not about only handicapped at all as some in comments mentioned.
Unfortunately, South Korea is a highly judgmental country and in order not to get hate or a death threats as the majority of Korean fans (and the rest of the Conservatives on earth) practice per usual if something does not suit their mental capacity, only relationship between female and male characters, in one eye blind V of BTS and deaf and mute I.U are depicted in MV. CUBE is used as a metaphor for a "perfect society" pointing fingers, trying to put everyone inside their own ugly thinking box, seeng disabilities as a curse, scrutinising, judging, abusing, insulting and in many cases killing other people with a different point of view and love preferences. The world which is trying everything to look down on "inperfects", "damaged goods", free-spirited individuals forcing to comply what they are convinced is the "righteousness". Going after minorities, hating on everything and everyone they even do not know, not letting people love who they love, not letting people be who they want to be, seeng ugliness in love and freedom instead of the beauty and power of love, the only thing real in this computer simulated programme, the game called 'Human Civilisation' you all are experiencing.
This song, IU's and V's top, madterful acting, her incredebly heavenly voice, MV, meaning, message behind to how beautiful and perfect life could be as shown through lovers camera lenses wuthout haters in Director Uhm's work is a pure cinematic masterpiece, a great example, the reminder to entire Humankind that only thing what really matters is freedom, kindness and love towards one and all.
Manage to achieve all said above in a just 5:23 minutes on top of heartbreakingly sad, melancholic, tragic yet most beautiful love story is nothing short of the miracle, the miracle that the glorious, eternal love itself is.
Take best care of yourselves, to others and to each other, and remember that only Love Wins all.
With love eternal and many blessings to you all, yours, MadeInArt, MadeinArt13.
💜💜💜
Excellent comment. So much truth to what you say about people having issue with those who don't fit perfectly in their box.
My KPop Group Trifecta... Mamamoo, BlackPink, and SHINee.
SOLOISTS... Bae Suzy, IU(meaing I and You...real name Lee Ji-eun), and Kim SeJeong(who is an Huge IU fan girl LoL).
ALL of whom are Very good actresses as well.
Sejeong is the Reason I got into KPop
Sejeong is such a IU fan girl, that once when she was in an interview talking about her own new release... IU came up in conversation and she ended up talking about IU instead of her Own music. And was just on IU's Palette. It's a must see... IU gets a little flustered with how much of a FAN GIRL Sejeong is.
[IU's Palette🎨] SEJEONG's heart is on a 'Voyage' to IU (With KIM SEJEONG) Ep.23 ua-cam.com/video/DFvKDNgbPrc/v-deo.html
MUST SEE...Sejeong's Cover of IU's "MY SEA" [CLEAN_ver.] 김세정(KIM SEJEONG) - 아이와 나의 바다 (IU) ua-cam.com/video/nstKzbzRwY0/v-deo.html
Kim Sejeong co-wrote the music and lyrics for all of the songs on Her album "Door"
You guys should react to They Don’t Know by ariana grande 🤍😋
IU have been making music for 15 years or so. She is a talent who have nurtured her vocal skills to a higher level. She is known for her ballets, sure, but she also do other things. You should try and listing to Holssi (if you haven't already). It's another vibe. A bit trippy but also a fantastic song :)
Mr and Mr Coach I don't know if Golden Voice of Korea is IU or Rosé , I have seen wars in comments about this topic , I am one defending Rosé , but People call Rosé as Golden Voice of Korea and Also IU , IU's voice is really good , I would consider IU and Rosé as Golden Voices of Korea.
They are amazing
The guy V from BTS would also be considered royalty as much as IU. He didn’t sing in this but he was a guest actor and I think he waa phenomenal! But this is the first IU song i’ve ever heard and I only learned about her from BTS. But wow I am totally a fan of hers now!
Yes this was such amazing song and music video I watched this over 100 times and still cry because of the lyrics and true concept and the acting by IU & V was believable good and fun fact IU Did this with the flu in very cold temperatures plus her and v had to run over 7 hours total one day while being sick she felt so bad for getting v in that part joking of course she is a amazing artist and human being love her so much
15 years ago ! One of her first mv and debut is also awesome at the age of 15. “Lost child”. Already sounds like a veteran singer at the age of 15. Its a more upbeat ballad. Not slow at all. Good song of her early career when she was a minor
I'm glad to see you got to IU, she has several live clips on her channel that are safe to react to. If you don't want to do a live clip at this point, Bbibbi or Twenty-three would show her more quirky and upbeat side. The killing voice would be good too, if you have the time for it.
The music video has a lot of views and is trending because V from the group BTS is in it. But IU herself is the greatest female soloist in south korea history, she is unmatched when it comes to popularity there for female soloists.
So what happens when you bring the biggest kpop solo female artist and put her together with one member of the greatest kpop artist/group of all time? You break records and you are the talk of the music scene for the whole year.
Another little tit bit about IU ..she often has notifications after her videos ( IU palette and IU TV )for missing children she sings like an Angel and has the heart of an Angel
저는 이 노래 mv만 보면 눈물이 나네요.
ㅠㅠ
많은 생각을 하게 만듭니다.
리액션 잘 보았습니다.
IU and V are good friends in real life. And they sound beautiful together too. They did a duet called "Ending Scene", a lovely song with her clear angelic voice and his smooth deep baritone.
Bts V in here is literally amazing hes an incredible singer and actor as qell im literally happy to see him in here.
JYP staff/producer turn down IU and't didn't pick her as a trainee, JYP himself was so regretful of that :) Now she is one of the biggest vocalist ever. But thats life, If jyp would pick her to be in a girl group, IU wouldn't be who she is now.
Very true!
IU comes from a very poor childhood. Her Grandma workt hard to pay for her training. Nobody wanted to have her as a singer. At her first test concert ther was only one fan , thats why the name is I and U ( you).
IU is known to give a lot of her income to the the peopole / Organisationen in Need which she Handpicks.
Her songs always land in the top five in the Nation Rankings, sometimes in front of groups like Blackpink or Twice.
I watched a short documentary and it definitely seemed like her early life formed her into the caring person she seems to be with humanity and humility.
In a discussion podcast somebody rhetorically asked why she was so popular and the answer was she’s basically like the perfect celebrity. Compelling life story, top singer, actress, philanthropist, good attitude, just a beautiful person from most perspectives.
@@Jonny-4K you nailed it. Great answer .
IU is sensational. Her Killing Voice is the highest viewed episode. Ironically, she was sick when recording the K.V. and also had a flu and cough when recording “Love Wins All.” She still sounds like angels singing from Heaven.
I'm excited to see your reaction to iu killing voice 🤍
If you wanna see energetic IU, I can say 'Celebrity, LILAC, COIN, BBI BBI, Blueming, 23, Good Day, Hold My Hand, YOU & I, The Red Shoes, Last Night Story and strawberry moon'
More relaxing - non ballady but not too energetic 'Friday, eight, Palette and Every End Of The Day' '
BALLADS are 'My Sea, Dear Name, Love Poem, Lost Child, Knees, above the time, Through The Night, Ending Scene, The Story Only I Didn't Know and Bad Day'
I can say that you can start with some energetic song, particularly Celebrity, BBI BBI, Blueming, LILAC and than you can do age series '23, Palette (for her 25th age) and eight (for her 28th age) and than yo can do some ballads particularly 'My Sea, Love Poem, Through The Night and Dear Name'
I want a special thing for Ballad songs of her, please initially watch lyric video and than go watch them live, her lives are always on FIRE!
and yes you can watch Killing Voice, her Killing Voice performance is the most viewed in all Killing Voices.
in lives I can request that 'My Sea special clip, Hold My Hand special clip, Blueming special clip and lastly for me very precious one is Through The Night + Dear Name MMA 2017 performance'
THANKS FOR ALLL GUYS SEE YOU NEXT IU VIDEO IN VERRRRY SOOOON PLEASEEE
Thanks for all the good info!
I believe that you both will have fun in doing a deep dive into BTS videos they do all different styles of music plus all the members solo song are also incredible 💜 I love your genuine and positive thoughts about our nation's treasure
We appreciate you coach and Mrs coach! Hope you are feeling better, and don’t feel you have to react to everything people request or comment on every comment. And dont feel you need to explain yourselves or ever apologize. You will never please everyone. 99% of your subscribers LOVE you guys. I know I do. Really enjoy your reactions. Feel like you are family!
We truly appreciate this comment. You have been a constant supporter and we cannot thank you enough.
💙 & 💜
Please react on taeyeon fine
Please react on taeyeon fine
If u love rose u will adore IU
For another emotional ballad from IU, check out "Love Poem", which is supposedly aimed at people who are considering suicide. There is a live version taped in a studio that is incredible. Of her more upbeat songs, my favorite is Blueming. But for all that she is a fantastic songwriter and singer, her acting is what really blows me away. Some of her TV dramas on Netflix, like My Mister and Hotel del Luna show her incredible range as an actress and she was nominated for an award at Cannes Film Festival for her role in the movie Broker.
React ateez wonderland❤
Two of IU's live concert videos from her current world tour are out. To experience her popularity, I think her live concert videos are the way to go. The "Shopper" video is a really good example of her connection with her fans. I find it both interesting and fascinating. The fan chants remind me of a college sporting event. 15,000 fans yelling a scripted chant as she sings. She has fan videos instructing when and what to chant. I compare her to Linda Ronstadt, because of her versatility. I've heard her sing Pop, R&B, Jazz, Rock & Roll, Rap, Country. Almost anything, and, she sings in 5 languages. Her life story reminds me of "The Coalminer's Daughter". Whether you like her music, or, not, her talent and charisma are undeniable, and, her life story is the kind they make movies about.
That's awesome. Her voice is definitely outstanding.
Please react to iu good day
Welcome to the amazing world of IU. She started auditioning when she was 13 and was rejected 20 times. In one interview before auditioning for the biggest company she was asked what if she wasn't accepted. She replied that would be ok because she knew she was going to be a singer. Coach, how many 13 year olds do you know who after trying out 20 times and being told No 20 times would still be positive and keep trying? I dont know it I know any.
She was signed by a small company when was 14 and debuted 10 months later. Her debute wasn't a very good start, she was boo'd and jeered. The song while a very good song its subject was not what kpop fans were expecting or wanting from a 15 year old.
She became a National star in 2010 with her #1 Good Day and Nagging. Over the next 14 years she had over 30 #1 hits more than twice as many as any other kpop artist.
In 2019 she became the first kpop artist to due a concert in the round at Olympic Gymnastics Arena, which has become an iconic concert. In Sept of 2022 she became the 1st female singer or group to headline a concert at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul, where the 90,000 tickets sold out in 30 minutes with just under 500,000 waiting in the queue.
She is also an awarding actress. She has been the leading female in 7 kdrama's with the 8th schedule for release this year on Netflix. She has starred in 3 of the most popular kdramas of all time. Two of which are currently available on Netflix. Hotel del Luna and My Mister. From her performance in My Mister she was offered the lead in the movie Broker, which debuted at Cannes Film Festival in Feb of 2022. It recieved a 12 minute standing ovation and IU was nominated for Best Actress.
She is a model as well. In addition to locale and National brands she is a model for Pepsi, New Balance, Este Lauder, and a Global Ambassador for GUCCI.
She is one of the best vocalist in the world today. Rolling Stone Magazine goes even further calling her one of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time as they had her to their list in January of 2023.
She has never performed a concert in the west. She has been to the US one time in 2014 for the Kpop convention. But she was very frustrated because her English wasn't good enough to really talk with her fans. She stated in an interview she would learn english before she returned.
And she is coming to the US this year as part of her World Tour. Currently 6 cities are scheduled starting with Atlanta on July 19, followed by D.C., Newark NJ, Chicago, Oakland and LA.
Her fan base has been growing in the west primarily from social media, and her songs and MV's on UA-cam and her songs on spotify. You don't become the #1 trending music video in the world without a good fan base in the US.
And on top of all the above she is an angel. Never negative and she has had plenty of reason to be negative at times.
Below I have provided a few links for your consideration. As good as she sounds recorded she sounds even better live. These links will not get blocked if you decide to react to them.

This is an outstanding comment and we appreciate you taking time to leave it. And you are correct, not many people of any age would deal with rejection that many times and keep going. Good for her to achieve this success!
Stray Kids next!
IU is "mainstream" in SK, folks respect her - classy actress, singer, songwriter and produser.
I see cube as people whom want to put down others whom dont fit in cube-people standars. And everyone of us can think - am I one of those cube-peoples who are behind that screen (V is hitting)? When you use your "cube" and write/ read comments - what you find there? Sorry my english and greetings from the north edge of Europe
And... Christian Bolanski (artist behind of 'pile of clothes'): Each piece of clothing was deposited on top of the mountain pile, symbolically carrying the “souls” of those who inhabited the clothes to a “higher place.” In this work, the mountain was an eternal afterlife of sorts, where every individual rests after death. (BTS used that piece of art in 'Spring day' MV)
Very interesting, and certainly a valid interpretation of this art. IU has an amazing voice.
IU bodyguard, Mr. Park, is a celebrity for being tall and extremely handsome.
Her stage name IU stands for " I and You become one through music."
Thanks for this reaction. When they say she’s royalty in SK, they MEAN it!
Barracks have been known to empty out when she makes a tv appearance. lol!
If you want to hear more of her singing, I suggest listening to one of her earliest songs called Good Day. She does a high 3 note progression at the end without even batting an eyelash. She’s that good! When you read her backstory you’ll be even more impressed. She’s also an amazing talented actress and talk show host (IU’s Pallete)
Enjoy getting to know her. 🙏🏽
Thank you!
