On the first night of her encore concert of her two-night world tour, “2024 IU HEREH WORLD TOUR CONCERT ENCORE: THE WINNING,” IU surprised the audience with the performance of an unreleased song.
The encore concert was already special for IU fans as it celebrated her successful world tour, which began in March 2024 and spanned 31 concerts across Asia, Europe, and North America.
But IU made it all truly unforgettable when she started strumming her guitar and performed “Bye Summer,” a song that had never been heard before.
The performance immediately went viral, with online K-Pop communities like the qoo buzzing about when it might be released.
- “It was so beautiful, really.”
- “Unnieplease post it… The song is so beautiful.”
- “Wow, I haven’t seen IU on guitar in such a long time…”
- “Please release the song, Unnie…I fell in love with it as soon as I heard it last night.”
- “Release it, please! It’s so good.”
- “So good…”
Those who attended the concert, however, shared the sad news that IU had no intention of releasing it since the song was “made especially for the encore concert.”
Unreleased track by IU By Summer 🥹
I usually hate summer, but this summer, when I did a world tour, was the best, and I wrote this song because it felt like the summer was especially long.
He said he had no intention of releasing it and made it with Donghwan just for this concert.It was drizzling while I was singing and playing guitar, but it stopped as soon as it was over, which was really “romantic”. photo.twitter.com/qOoS6T3vn2

About IU’s Unreleased Song “Bye Summer”
IU said she doesn’t usually like summer. But this summer, when she was touring around the world, it was one of the best summers she’s ever had. And it felt longer than usual. So she wrote this song. She doesn’t plan on releasing it at all; it’s a special treat made especially for the encore concert. It started raining very lightly when she started singing the song. The rain stopped when the performance ended, it was so magical.

Of course, given the demand, IU might change her mind. Fans can only hope!
