IU: “I felt a little helpless and bored in my late 20s… At the age of 30, I got excited and confident after a long time”

Singer – actress IU expressed her feelings about turning 30 in Korean age this year.

On Feb 16th, fashion magazine Marie Claire unveiled IU‘s pictorial, which graced the cover of the March issue.

In the interview, IU recalled the memory of the day she turned 30, “I was excited. The moment I counted down to the New Year while watching the year-end awards ceremony at home, I suddenly felt a sense of excitement rising. It was because I felt a little helpless and bored in my late 20s. It was the excitement that came to me after a long time. I felt better and confident that I could do something.”

When asked about what she planned with that feeling, IU replied, “Opening a small studio and concert hall where I can perform or create works with fellow artists.” The female singer hinted at a wonderful plan, “I want to do what I imagined while facing the difficult situation due to COVID-19.”

IU has been making donations in various ways under the influence of her mother. Regarding this, she expressed another ambition, “In the future, I want to help young people in blind spots of welfare in a specific way.”

Currently, IU is continuing to film Lee Byeong-heon’s movie “Dream” (working title). She mentioned her wish, “I want to become an actress that the public is willing to invest their time in. As a musician, I still want to continue producing music that makes people curious.”
