how is she so iconic effortlessly??

she's so humble and sweet, you can rlly see why everyone loves her

omnimorphism

but if you think about it IU had to ride the wave of shifting public opinion from the day she debuted, from nugu to korea's little sister to sly-fox to nation's song writer. To face such barrages of love and hate without catching celebrity disease or getting depressed is a talent within itself. I think IU's strong mentality is one of her many talents and dealing with divided public opinion is one of the reasons she is able to resonate with the public and tap into what they like so well

Yes.

Even her interviews 10, 11 years ago. She has a wise head on her shoulders. Very grounded and aware of the perils of popularity.

She really is the queen. So kind and humble, this is why she is the top artist of Korea

It's funny how she went from "she's so over" to "uhm she is actually fine?" to legend status in a short period of time

WhyKnock love-hate ?

I would say it is more boast-roast or grumble-brag

It is more like my desire to see Kpop expand and her willingness to bring all it down.

She said "Please take a good care of me for another decade", meaning she will continue to menace Kpop till the fifth and sixth generations.

I don't know what to say about it.

It means you will have plenty to say for another decade as well.

K-pop , IU or not, will hit a plateau soon.

China and the Anglo-West, there is a limit to that market acceptance.

Other other markets like India are too fragmented, unorganised and culturally highly resistant to make much headway.

So there is little to pin on IU or domesticists for whatever expansion or lack.
