While age wise she is mostly with the 3rd gen of K-pop,

acting wise, she is in the same age-group as the actresses who have become popular in recent times - Han So Hee, Kim Tae Ri etc.

So she has a solid decade to make her acting career, as great a success as her singing career.

She isn't.

That's what the thread is saying.

Even by the standards of K-pop, she is age wise same as other active 3rd gen

Point is that she's ancient career wise (as an idol), with 14 years since debut, yet most of the third gen idols are still around her age or some even older.

IU was alive at queen Elizabeth’s coronation.

I literally thought he'd written another chapter in his historical epic when I saw that title. Imagine my surprise to see a short post by you instead, lol. The click bait worked. Thanks for the giggle!

She has been a grandma since she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from MAMA on 2014 when she was 21 (actually 1,335) years old.

She is younger than King Arthur and a bit older than Charlesmagne

Although she IS younger than Empress Wu Zetian of T'ang Dynasty.

Well, at 1,343 years old, she is quite a little bit older than Psy, for example.

actually 14 centuries which is a loooong time.

Oh come on, even if have to go with Manwol, it is only the actress Lee Jieun who is 14 centuries old, not the singer IU.

I think she is following the template of Jang Nara, so will be more an actress than a singer in the coming decade.

If you are so concerned about K-pop being dominated by the seniors, how about K-dramas? , bunch of senior women -around 40.. (senior men is not unusual) causing a lot of Noona romances and not making space for the next generation.

Anyway, she definitely seems to have "saved the country" in the previous birth, Broker is being heavily pushed and felicitated, and she seems to be set for a great start in the movies.

But don't worry, knowing her, she won't entirely vanish from K-pop, and so you will have fuel for your conspiracy theories.

iu is same age as suga and younger than irene but she started career very early in 2010. Same like suzy who debut in 2010 when she was 16 and still not 30 yet.
