High Cut (December 2019)

Merry Pink Christmas

A small and warm Christmas party just for IU.

IU, who has been trapped in the distant past for a long time as ‘Jang Manwol’, came back to us with her new album <Love Poem>. "I spent a year that was as rewarding as the amount of effort I exerted", as she was saying this, it's as if she's comforting someone through each word and syllable packed with warmth. Sometimes, IU's songs are like a fierce and sensitive cat, however at times they're also like an old person who has lived through all the years; but especially this winter, just like the lyrics that says "I'll sing for you who is walking through an unusually long night," her songs cozily settle down our hearts like a Christmas present. Following this comes a simple yet warm 'Merry Christmas' letter or a light greeting sent to <HIGH CUT> from IU of 2019 who has shined like a big snowflake.

2019 is almost coming to an end. Did all of the things you wished for this year work out well?

IU: Surprisingly, it was a year where everything I hoped for came true. The drama <Hotel del Luna> received so much love, and the album which I prepared for a long time was also successfully released to the world. The big concert also ended successfully. I was fully rewarded for all the things I worked hard on, I think it has been an amazing year.

Your new album <Love poem> is very popular. It's not an easy feat for (your songs) to be a hit every time like this, what do you think is the secret to keeping IU's style while receiving love from so many people?

IU: Of course, there are various reasons that are within and beyond my abilities which cannot be explained one by one, but I would like to point out 'timing' in particular. Thankfully, I think that the words I wanted to say through this album and the words that the listeners wanted to hear from me aligned well.

Christmas is approaching. What meaning does Christmas day have for IU?

IU: It's a day where I can be with people whom I love. Last year, I spent Christmas while having a concert in Taiwan, and everyone in our team wore outfits according to the dress code. After the concert, we had a fun time picking the best dresser and having an after-party. That happy memory feels like yesterday, so I'm surprised that a new Christmas has already come. I think it's also because I feel a bit sad that time flies like an arrow.

Today's photoshoot was like an advanced Christmas party. Perhaps because it's a jewelry photoshoot, but it seems like IU was shining even more today. Was there anything you liked?

IU: I usually collect earrings. From time to time, I tend to buy things I find pretty, from fancy items that I would never wear outside, to classic items. Today too, as expected, my eyes were naturally attracted to the earrings. I especially liked the model which was shaped after the 'U' based on my name 'IU'.

What are your plans for this year's Christmas?

IU: I have a concert in Bangkok for this year's Christmas Eve. I think I'll spend it together with my team, similar to last year. It will be a loud and busy day filled with funny events.

If there's a Christmas gift you would like to give to those who you love, and to those who love IU, what would it be?

IU: An electric heating pad haha. Recently, a heating pad the size of a knee blanket has been released, and it's very nice. I want to give out very random gifts ahaha.

That's warm. Now that you've mentioned a lot of your aspirations whether as an artist or actress, please tell us about another warm dream that IU has.

IU: Hmm... I want to become an even better friend to good friends of mine.

Please relay a Christmas present-like message to those friends.

IU: I'll become an even better friend next year. Let's get along well.
