The singer said she was on a “sabbatical year” despite a year full of activities, surprising even her crew.
On December 29th, IU posted on her official YouTube channel a video titled “IU’s surprise announcement! This is my sabbatical year.”
In the video, the singer said, “We are filming for the 2023 Season Greeting. I heard today’s concept is very new. It’s a museum concept that I think our fans will love. Today I will be an organizer for IU Museum.”
This year has been extremely busy for IU. Nonetheless, the singer did not seem to be bothered by it. The PD expressed their thoughts: “The person who said she would take it easy from age 30,” to which IU said, “This is what I think, I’m not preparing for an album or working for an album. This year was honestly a sabbatical year for me.”
Recently, IU won the ‘Best Digital Song’ award from the 36th “Golden Disc Awards,” and ‘Best New Actress’ from the 42nd “Korean Association of Film Critics Award.” She also attended the 75th “Cannes International Film Festival,” and held her first solo concert at the Main Stadium. The production team said in surprise, “You only had two concerts,” and IU said, “Next year I will run for real.”
