With IU’s 7th anniversary fast approaching, an editorial oleh TV laporan revealed several reasons why the LOEN Entertainment solo singer is currently a puncak, atas bintang in the Korean entertainment industry.

iu is both endearing and cute. The nation’s sister can even tulis her own songs! I’m not even ashamed to admit that I’m a fan of her as a vocalist.

She has secured a large male fan base, and has also picked up a lot of support from female fans. iu has managed to come out unscathed from a scandal, and is now one of the puncak, atas stars when it comes to marketing and advertisements.

Even though a name is common, anda might not know how populer an artist really is until anda directly dig into it. When we looked into IU, her popularity turned out to be a lot greater than we expected.

Royalties higher than “Cherry blossom Ending”

iu didn’t necessarily have what anda would call a strong start to her career. Her debut judul track “Lost Child (MIA)” debuted at number 60 on the charts, and never rose higher than 54. However, in just a few years, iu is now an artist whose releases are now expected to land at number 1.

link

We researched IU‘s musik success through Korea’s biggest distributor, MelOn which oversees lebih than half of Korea’s 8 musik charts. These days, staying within the puncak, atas 100 on the charts for a long time is lebih valuable than reaching number 1 for a short while. Her hit songs “Good Day” and “YOU&I” both stayed in the puncak, atas 100 on MelOn for 28 weeks.

Even lebih impressive, her self-composed track “Friday,” which was released in 2013, is still sitting in the puncak, atas 100 right now. Like a ikan salmon, salmon swimming back home, IU’s “Friday” has a way of finding its way back to the puncak, atas of the charts even after an entire year.

link

To really know how crazy this is anda have to realize that even the biggest hit song of 2010, “Gangnam Style” and one of the craziest hits recently “Some” lost to IU‘s songs’ persistence.

link

As of September 10th, 2015, including IU’s mega-hit “Friday,” there are 20 copyrighted songs that have been written, composed, and/or arranged oleh IU.

link

Particularly, IU’s lyrics are both realistic and promote a sense of wonder, while stimulating good feedback from listeners. Her lyrics are backed oleh down-to-earth expressions and distinctive figures of speech.

With words that won’t touch my hands
Do not make me wiggle
Even if I go out, there’s nothing much
– “Not Spring, Love, atau ceri, cherry Blossoms”

All day, my jantung rides on that clock hand
Getting closer to anda with each tick
– “Friday”

But honestly, don’t anda have a little responsibility
For making me so confused?
– “Voice Mail”

Acting? Variety? That’s easy.

There is rarely a group without an actor these days. With the exception of the group members with great vocal ability, everyone is trying to assert their presence in acting.

But iu is already bernyanyi and akting very well, and has also shown a lot of diligence. People used to get angry for casting IU, but eventually compliments began to pile up.

Let’s take a look at IU’s participation in other forms of entertainment. She was a long-time MC for SBS Inkigayo with populer stars such as Lee Jong Suk, and she showed off her personality through SBS’s variety shows Kim Yu Na’s ciuman & Cry and Heroes.

These moves turned out to pave an elite course that has led her to stardom.

– April 2011 / SBS Inkigayo MC

– May 2011 – July 2011 / SBS Kim Yu Na’s ciuman & Cry contestant

– June 2010 – May 2011 /SBS heroes member

Concerts Ads Sell So Well

There aren’t many idols that could hold a national tour (and even less when it comes to a female solo act!), but iu has completed many successfully.

link

– June-July 2012 / National Tour in six cities – Seoul, Suwon, Busan, Daegu, Ulsan, Jeonju

– September 2012 / Encore Concert

– November-December 2013 – iu Solo Concert, ‘Modern Times’ – Seoul, Busan

– May-June 2014 – iu Small Theater Concert, ‘Just One lebih Step, Just That’ – Seoul

iu has also proven herself in her ability to help market goods.

link

My Chew was IU’s only endorsement in 2010, but five years later and anda can see her face at the bottom of soju glasses. Isn’t it amazing?

link

link

She has had many scandals, such as her being spotted with 2PM‘s Woo Young and her sensitive SNS scandal, but many of her fan consoled her and her fan even increased. This is because most of her fan cinta her for who she is and her music, not her surface.

link

Fandom’s As Solid As Concrete

iu fan are loyal and even myself felt touched at some of the episodes between her and her fans. Her fan trust her and this is probably why her fandom is so huge for a solo female artist.

IU’s fan in her fan cafe rival that of Girls’ Generation, which is unheard of for a solo artist.

link

To find out how populer she really is I researched what may be the most populer hashtags on Instagram. #InfiniteChallenge was 160,000, Kim Soo Hyun was 200,000, and Kim Woo Bin 120,000.

Last year, she was unrivaled in the amount of artikel that mentioned her.

link

Finally, note the number of followers she has on SNS such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

link

For fun I asked iu fan why they like iu and they said, “Do anda need a reason (Eeyoo) to like IU?”

link

This is it, iu has become a bintang that people need no reason to love.
Tickita match the rhythm and spin, the guitar~
