IU, who is celebrating her 15th debut anniversary, is set to hold a special fan concert, where she will share a unique time with her fans.
According to her agency, EDAM Entertainment, IU will hold the '2023 IU Fan Concert 'I+UN1VER5E'' at the KSPO DOME in Seoul's Songpa-gu on the 23rd and 24th of this month.
'I+UN1VER5E' is an offline event that comes four years after IU's 11th debut anniversary fan meeting '▶ II & U' (PLAY, PAUSE AND U) in 2019. It recorded the highest simultaneous online viewers at the time, with 350,000 fans participating in the pre-sale ticketing, which eventually sold out.
This fan concert is a format that IU is attempting for the first time since her debut, somewhere between a fan meeting and a concert, generating a lot of interest and curiosity among fans. The overall concept of the concert is to reminisce about the memories shared between the artist and her fans, the "Uaena" universe, and to plan for the future together.
During this fan concert, IU will present a diverse setlist that includes songs fans want to see and hear, as well as her mega-hit songs that are familiar to everyone, promising a delightful live experience. Prior to the event, a video of IU practicing her hit song '있잖아' was also shared as a short content on EDAM Entertainment's official Instagram account.
Additionally, IU will engage in various entertaining segments, including witty and humorous talk sessions. The concert will offer a unique viewing experience with 360-degree seating arrangements that differ from traditional linear setups, providing a fresh sense of fun.
The agency expressed, "As an icon of 'fan love,' IU passionately participated in the planning and rehearsal process to reciprocate the love and support received from 'Uaena.' Every September, in celebration of her debut anniversary, both the artist and the fans have shared unforgettable moments, and we hope this event will be another joyful festival."
