On February 7, IU’s agency, EDAM Entertainment, announced, “IU will unveil a series of large-scale promotions in collaboration with the character Tweety Bird, who has received much love in the ‘Looney Tunes’ series of Warner Bros, in connection with her upcoming mini-album ‘The Winning,’ scheduled to be released on the 20th.”
Tweety Bird is a character introduced to the public in 1942 and is a canary character from the “Looney Tunes” animation series. Known for its confident and optimistic personality, bright yellow color, and cute visuals, Tweety Bird still has a global fan base in pop culture.
Through this collaboration, Tweety Bird will be reborn in various styles, incorporating IU’s new mini-album concept in addition to its existing cute and lovely appearance. In particular, curiosity is heightened as Tweety Bird’s appearance on the main cover of the special edition of “The Winning” album marks the beginning of a large-scale project.
Furthermore, various collaboration goods are planned, raising the expectations of both Uaenas (IU’s fandom) and animation fans alike.
On the other hand, IU and Tweety Bird are known to have a special connection. In particular, IU has shown her affection by using Tweety Bird as the profile picture on her official Instagram account for a long time. In addition, there was a tweet in 2021 from a fan comparing IU to the character, which gained attention when the official X (formerly Twitter) account of Looney Toons retweeted it.
Regarding the collaboration, IU’s agency expressed, “We hope for great anticipation for the synergy between IU, an artist who receives warm love from domestic and international fans with her positive and good influence, and Tweety Bird, who brings everyone nostalgia, fun, and memories worldwide.”
The special edition of IU’s mini-album with Tweety Bird will be available for sale starting from 3 p.m. (KST) on February 7.
