아이유(IU) Blueming 블루밍 경호원 라이브 @ Love, poem 콘서트 복숭아

Lee Ji-eun (Korean: 이지은; born May 16, 1993), professionally known as IU (Korean: 아이유), is a South Korean singer-songwriter and actress. While still in middle school, IU auditioned for various talent agencies with ambitions of becoming a singer. She signed with Kakao M (formerly LOEN Entertainment) in 2007 as a trainee and began her music career at the age of 15 with her debut album, Lost and Found. Her follow-up albums, Growing Up and IU...IM, brought her mainstream success, but it was through "Good Day" (Korean: 좋은 날), the lead single from her 2010 album Real, that she achieved national stardom. "Good Day" spent five consecutive weeks at the top position of South Korea's Gaon Digital Chart, a joint record along with Psy's "Gangnam Style",[1][failed verification] and in 2019, it was ranked number one on Billboard magazine's 100 Greatest K-Pop Songs of the 2010s.[2]
With the success of her 2011 albums, Real+ and Last Fantasy, IU established herself as a formidable force on the music charts of her native country and further cemented her girl next door image as Korea's "little sister".[3][4] 2011 also saw her first foray into songwriting with "Hold My Hand", which was written for the television series The Greatest Love. IU's third full-length album release, Modern Times (2013), showcased a more mature style that was a departure from her established girlish image, with several tracks reaching the top 10 positions on Gaon Digital Chart.[3] While her subsequent releases, including albums A Flower Bookmark, Chat-Shire, and Palette continued to deviate from the mainstream K-pop style, IU retained her dominance on music charts.[5][6][7] Chat-Shire marked the first time she is credited as the sole lyricist and producer of her own album.[8][9]
IU has released four studio albums and nine extended plays, scoring three number-one albums and twenty number-one singles on the Gaon Music Charts. As one of the best-selling solo artists in the K-pop industry, which is dominated by boy and girl groups,[10] she has been included on Forbes magazine's annual Korea Power Celebrity list since 2012, reaching a peak ranking of number three in 2012.[11] Billboard recognized IU as the all-time leader of its Korea K-Pop Hot 100 chart with the most number-one songs and the artist who has held the number-one position for the most number of weeks.[12] According to a Gallup Korea survey, she was the most popular idol and artist among South Koreans in 2017.[13]
Aside from her music career, IU has also ventured into hosting radio and television shows, as well as acting. Following her supporting role in teen drama Dream High and minor appearances in several television series, IU starred in You're the Best, Lee Soon-shin, Pretty Man, The Producers, Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, My Mister, Persona and Hotel del Luna.
IU was born Lee Ji-eun on May 16, 1993, in Songjeong-dong, Seoul, South Korea.[14][15] At an early age, IU became interested in pursuing a career in the entertainment industry and began attending acting classes.[16] Soon after her elementary school years, her family's financial situation deteriorated, and they eventually moved to the nearby Uijeongbu in Gyeonggi Province.[17] She and her younger brother lived apart from their parents in a studio room with her grandmother and cousins for over a year in conditions of great poverty.[18][19] IU had little contact with her parents over this period of time but felt reassured under her grandmother's care.[19]
During her middle school years, IU found her passion for singing and decided to become a singer after being applauded for a performance she gave at her school's sports competition.[20] She attended 20 auditions but failed all of them, and was also scammed by fake entertainment companies.[21][22] IU used to train at Good Entertainment with Uee, Yubin, Heo Ga-yoon, and Jun Hyoseong.[23] After signing with LOEN Entertainment in 2007, she moved to Bangbae, Seoul.[24] Despite the prospect of her being put into a girl group, she made her solo debut in 2008 after ten months of training.[25] Due to her living conditions at the time, IU stated that she "loved being at the studio", where she could eat as much as she wanted and had a place to sleep.[19] Prior to her debut, LOEN coined her stage name "IU", deriving it from the phrase "I and You" to symbolize the unifying force of music between people.[25]
Her burgeoning career led to her decreased attendance at school and declining grades, with the exception of Korean literature.[26] After graduating from Dongduk Girls' High School in 2012, IU decided not to pursue post-secondary education in tandem with her singing career.
