Quote“Dear Name,” in particular, was a significant performance as it was a collaboration with dozens of newly debuted singers, chorus-based singers, and busking singers who have been active but are yet unknown in the music industry. Singers of all ages created a 60-person choir and put on a touching performance with IU. Afterwards, the names of all the participating singers were shown on the screen.
A source from IU’s agency stated, “‘Dear Name’ was one of the double title tracks of IU’s fourth album ‘Palette,’ and IU herself penned its lyrics and chose its title. She titled the song ‘Dear Name’ because she wanted all the ‘names’ worldwide to be the main character of the song. It was an honor to perform at an awards ceremony but IU also wanted to take the opportunity to focus on other ‘names.’ She is happy and thankful that she was able to use this performance to convey her sincerity as an artist.”

And the choir, so beautiful
