Billboard added, “IU is the first female singer to enter the Seoul World Cup Stadium, and the unique title of being the first female singer to perform in all large-sized stadiums in Korea is secured.”

IU expressed, “Global, Billboard, Number One, though these qualifiers feel awkward, I feel honored and happy,” sharing her thoughts.

IU is set to release her Netflix series ‘Bogged Down’ next year. Additionally, she is participating in MBC’s new drama ’21st Century Grand Princess’ (tentative title) filming and various music projects.
