With over a decade of impactful music and a continually expanding fanbase, she has set remarkable new career milestones year after year. Surprisingly, amidst her global success, IU has never collaborated with an international artist—until now!

Reflecting on Past Collaborations

In a recent interview with Billboard, IU reflected on her journey in the music industry, revealing why she previously shied away from working with artists outside South Korea. She admitted that she had turned down numerous collaboration offers from international stars due to the language barrier, feeling uncertain about how to communicate effectively through music.

A Change in Perspective

"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 the opportunities," IU shared candidly.

Embracing Global Collaborations

However, her perspective has recently shifted. "But now I don’t think that way. I’m much more open to working with global artists," she declared enthusiastically. "Please feel free to reach out to me."

Excitement and Speculation

This newfound openness has fans buzzing with excitement, speculating about who IU might collaborate with next. Whether it’s fellow K-Pop idols or internationally renowned pop stars, the possibilities seem endless, and her willingness to dive into the global music scene could lead to groundbreaking projects!
