In this video, IU, named “” by Billboard KoreaArtist no. 1 of the year,” discussed the pros and cons of being a solo artist, her openness to collaborating with international artists, and more.
Notably, when asked if she planned to collaborate with international artists, IU admitted that she had been reluctant to do so in the past, despite receiving numerous offers.
“I have received many amazing offers in the past, but I felt a little vague about collaborating with artists who spoke different languages. So I turned down opportunities“, said the female idol.
However, according to IU, his perspective on such offers has changed.
“But now I don’t think so. I’m much more open to working with global artists,” IU commented, adding, “Please feel free to contact me.” It looks like fans can start expecting international collaborations from IU in the near future!
On the other hand, in the same interview, IU also mentioned the projects it has planned for 2025.

He also admitted that in 2025 his focus will be mainly on acting, but he has also started working on new music to avoid fans waiting too long.
