On September 13 and 14, IU held the 2025 IU FAN MEET-UP Bye, Summer at KSPO DOME in Seoul, her first offline fan event in about two years since the 2023 fan concert I+UN1VER5E. Tickets sold out instantly during pre-sale, proving her unwavering popularity.
IU treated fans to a diverse setlist, including her new songs, drama OSTs, and timeless hits, while also engaging in fun interactive segments filled with laughter. The most moving moment came during the encore when she surprised fans by leaving the stage to sing “I stan U” while walking through the crowd.
As she passed the wheelchair section, IU stopped to meet each fan’s gaze, held their hands, and offered warm smiles. For one fan unable to turn their wheelchair toward the stage, IU moved closer to ensure they could see her face directly, showing remarkable thoughtfulness.
Videos and fan accounts of this moment quickly spread across social media and online communities, with many describing how deeply moved they were. “I cried the whole time during ‘I stan U’ after seeing her with the wheelchair fans,” one fan wrote. Another added, “When she turned to show her face and greeted us, I couldn’t hold back my tears.” Others praised her online, saying, “IU is the real deal” and “Why am I tearing up just watching this?”
Meanwhile, IU released the new song “Bye, Summer” on September 10, which has been climbing domestic and international charts. She is also currently filming her upcoming drama Wife of a 21st Century Prince.
