WTF, are people saying IU is not kpop?
She is an idol, she trained expecting to be debuted on a girl group, fortunately her company saw her talent and allowed her to go debut as a solo act.
Her songs were not KPop. She sang the old style of ballad. Good Day was the first nonKpop song which was a hit in 2010 and it came out on Dec of that year
She was trained to be part of a girl group but her voice did not mix . And at that time Loen had to debut someone quickly so they debuted her as a soloist
BBiBBi is her first Kpop song and it did not come out till her 11th year
