I found myself falling for a girl, and she's none other than the 'girl-next-door' : IU!!!!!!!
No, it's not a love at first sight...
I first get to know her through KBS Music Bank, where she's making her comeback with "Marshmallow"
(The cute blonde Yoseob is a bonus!!!!)
The first time i saw her i was like 'ok, just another cute girl, nothing much', and I didn't pay much attention to her.
Then i saw this:
So my impression of her went from ' a cute-girl ' to ' a quite-talented-girl ' , and again it stopped right there.
But everything changed right after i watched her award-winning song "Good Day" performance.
And my first thought was: Amazing!
I admit that it was the 3-high-note at the end of the song (people claimed that it's 3-octave-range, but no, it isn't) made my impression of her changed 180 degree.
A brief introduction of IU:
Stage Name: IU
Birth Name: Lee Ji-Eun
Birthday: 16 May 1993 (she's only a month older than me! )
Label: LOEN Entertainment
Debut: September 24, 2008
Her debut song, 미아 (Missing Child), is a really amazing song that shows the powerful vocals of a 15-year-old teenager. (But too bad people don't really pay much attention to this young girl at that time)
She won her first award since her debut with this song :
Apart from Seulong from 2AM, she did collaborations include duets with Yoo Seung Ho (Believe In Love), Sung Shi Kyung (It's You), and Big Bang's Seungri (I Know). Her soft, smooth voice tends to wrap around the opposite singer's, providing a feeling of warmth.
Oh by the way, IU is a HUGE fan of Big Bang's Taeyang!!!! In fact, Taeyang is her ideal man and she claimed that she won't change it anymore!! Check out her fangirl-ing moment in this video!
While IU is a big fan of the voice of Big Bang, her own HUGE fanboy is the previously mentioned, arguably voice of Beast / B2ST, Yoseob!!!!!
This is just one of the many evidences :)
Love her version of Son Dam Bi's 'Queen'.
But there is something I must mention here, that is IU's "samchoon-fans"!
Her "samchoon-fans", or rather "uncle-fans" are so protective of IU that she gained the nickname "Untouchable" after the reactions of the uncle-fans when Seulong hugged IU during a performance in Music Bank.
And to prove their never-ending love for IU, they even created an "IU anthem" !!
via Allkpop:
We’ve recently come across a special song created and mixed by these IU devotees, which seems to best embody their obsession with IU. This Metallica-inspired theme song carrie intense guitar riffs, rockin’ drums, and a hysterical chorus where they scream “IU” repeatedly. One line sums it up the best: “Women like TVXQ, we like IU!”
The lyrics read:
Metallica!! Megadeth!! Anthrax!! Slayer!! IU is greater than you!!
Heavy metal!! LA metal!! Death metal!! Fusion jazz!! Charlie Parker!! Hardcore!! We don’t need that!!
In the past it was Metallica! Now it’s IU! Girls like TVXQ! We like IU!!
The trend is IU!! In the future IU!! IU forever!! IU is the truth!!
IU!!!!!!!! I love you!! IU!!!!!!!! I love you today!! IU!!!!!!!! I love you now!! IU!!!!!!!! I love you forever!!
IU! IU! IU!
IU!!!!!!!! Meet me just once!! IU!!!!!!!!Don’t be scared!! IU!!!!!!!! Give me your autograph!
IU!!!!!!!! x10
They sure are passionate XD
