she's pretty good...i'll be on the lookout for her.

wow..
she's young.. but pretty

looks like she has potential
hope she succeeds!!
i'll keep a look out for her. lol.

i just hearad of her like five minutes ago! haha
she's pretty good at singing for her age :]
i think im gonna keep an eye on her!

i saw her performance on music core yesterday and i was wondering who she was,
thanks for starting the thread!
i'm looking foward to her new mini album.
didn't realize she was so young, but i agree she does have a lot of potential!

shes someone to look out for,
she has a lot of potential, especially at such a young age.
i like her debut song.
love to hear more from her.

Thread will be opened when her mini-album is officially released in Korea.

Her album is released today so I am opening this thread. I am very impressed with her after hearing her live on Music Core last week. I can't believe she is only 15 but already with a very good singing voice. Her title song 미아 is written by PJ and lyrics by Choi Kap Won. This combination has written many hit songs before.

She is above average looking as well, not stunning but she's still growing up.

Her stage name is also the same as my alma mater, hard for me not to like her.

I'm listening to Itjanha now she's so cool really...and versatile. I mean, Missing Child and Itjanha are very different genres but her voice suits both songs she's really awesome
not to mention she's really pretty!

The girl has great potential.
I hope she'll develop her craft...
because she can be a great Asian Artist.

She has a nice voice. I think she performed her song very well for a debut performace.
Will keep my eye on her.

whoa awesome voice, great potential and shes young !!!
*plus that innocent stare really impress me ^^ she doesnt have to be either cute / sexy and yet still PWNsome ^^*
havent heard of leon ent, or am i ignorant and its some kind of big company?

Ilove her mini album and her voice is nice plus Ithink she the youngest solo artist and that make her special and one my fav for sure Iwill support her


Iwas watching one of her live perfomance in mnet countdown and at the end someone was screaming at her those anti are too much she still young people need to give her chance

does she have a fan site

^ Like the people who comment in youtube says,
its probably the unsync and off quality vids ^^
so no worries bout her not having fans ^^

i think this is her interview?



it's a bit long and untranslated so i'll just post the first question. i'll translate this tomorrow or if someone else can, please do also, i'm making an international forum for her as well

awwww she likes gummy and taeyang xDDD

wow, she's so young, only a year older than me.

she so cute

Imade a youtube channel for IU

IU ( 아이유) - singing like a star cover by by Corinne Bailey Rae

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1jukhefwa8

dude...i love her last track...so awesome...

hm, i usually don't like singers with cute voice but she's different compared to any other girl in the girl groups with the same age. she can sing ballad, dance or even r&b songs as well and all of them suits her voice.
at first when i heard about her i didn't except much but after i watched her i suprised how good her and her song sound. and how good she sang though it was her first live performance.
she just needs to work on her expressions ... she was stiff as sang on the stage. but of course, it's understandable because she was nervous.

i've listened to her album and i think it's also pretty good. i only liked the 1st and 2nd track on it though, but that two songs are awesome:D oh, and has anyone seen her MV? it's quite scary but at least it's not one of the typical MVs.


btw, i wanted to ask, hoping that there is anyone here who's knows korean. during the mnet performance, some girls were screaming things near the end of the song... does anyone know what were they screaming? i read the comments on youtube and it seems those weren't best luck wishes... i don't want her to get antis at the very beginning of her career because she's not that bad so i hope they didn't yell anything bad at her


juhilove thanks for sharing that video. it was really her singing that song? i'm curious when that was recorded. she looks even younger than now.

I forgot
here are the Korean and Romanization of her songs
from the mini album
Plus, I translated Mia...but it's not good
so anyone can do a better translation..^^

I updated the front with as much as possible, so thanks for everyone's contributions as well as comments about IU.

I'm actually surprised at her mini-album. At first, I wasn't liking it because I was expecting things that showcased her voice like Mia had done. However, it's growing on me because each song seems different and it really shows her versatility, which is great, especially at such a young age.

IU before debut



























Iam addicted to her mini album Ilove that their are different music style in one album

I kind of like her music style.
She did well in her debut performance.
I can't believe someone shouted like that in the end. Some people are seriously---no comment.

I thought her MV was kinda creepy though, but hey - that's cool, haha.
Definitely different than other kpop girls' MVs. > <

I think IU's amazing, and even though she's a year younger than me, I really like her!
My favourite song by far is Mia. LOL I can't wait until she releases more music!

OMG. -sits around- I'm listening to her song now and it's quite good. OMG. NEW FAVORITE SONG. -screeaammm- Ehehehhehehe. Iu is soo cute and quite young. <3 But her voice is very pretty and strong~!!! And wow, Loen Ent? Loen Ent (I believe), produces JYP artists' CDs too!


OMGGGG. Two of her favorite actors are my fave actors. Kekekeke. How sweettt~!

Muahaha, I will be looking out for her soon. Heeheee. And her song is sooo good. I'll have to listen to the rest of the single/mini-album. <333

omg!!
i love her voice!!
she so powerful for a 15 year old!!
someone let me know when a forum opens up!!

She is an amazing singer!
I begin to like her more and more now XD

i really like the song, and i like her voice
IU is amazing, she sounds so nice and she doesnt look like she tried so hard. her voice is naturally good
the MV is just really cool. love it, it's diff and unique.. overall i think im starting to like her ^^

She's so pretty~ I love her powerful voice.. her concept reminds me JRI. Hmm she looks a little different with short hair? is it a wig? Can't wait till she goes on variety shows...

I must say she has really good taste in music xD
Her voice his awesome!

her voice is quite mind blowing.
along with an amazing debut song. for sure she's gonna be recognized!
if you look at the other singers debuted around her age, they all have really weak cutesy voices. (except sunmi lol)
IU definitely has potential.
its so cool Gummy was her mentor. XD

I really like UI's voice, she's so young and she has a nice voice.
When I first saw her performance, I was blown.
I haven't stop listening to Mia on my mp3 player at night ><"

I hope to see and hear more of her soon! :]

thanks for the links juhi

here's the translation for You Know ft Mario..
it's not perfect..(and may not even be right)
but someone had requested for it..so here you guys go



You Know (ft. Mario)

Rap) Ye this song is my love story
I never did believe in love at first sight
The moment you appeared you stole my heart and mind
Last night it was hard, I realized you were the angel from my dream
I did not have the heart to say because I was so nervous

You know, Oh, my heart quivers for some reason I do not know
You know ,Oh, your lovely eyes looking at me

(Baby One two three) Closer to me
(Luv) I am shy but
(A to Z) I know and I want, I have hidden in your mind

You want me and you want to have me
I wish you're my all
Tell me I'm the only one you love

Alone I cry with a jump in separation, the unpleasant truth
I want to love you and always

(Baby One two three) Count two hands
(Luv) Three I see but
(A to Z) You're the best compared to anyone else

You want me and you want to have me
I wish you're my all
Tell me I'm the only one you love

I believe you Cause I'm in love with you
Oh, it's the first time

Rap) I will get the courage to tell her or become a fool
I see her, her back facing me, hoping she'll turn around
What's better than anything else, after all, all I have to do is have you
I don't need other things, all I want is you
My mind says I want you and maybe I do
My mind tells my heart to love you

You want me and you want to have me
I wish you're my all
Tell me I'm the only one you love

You want me and you want to have me
I wish you're my all
Tell me I'm the only one you love

Your cheeks are soft when they touch my lips
Darling, I just want to give you love

oh man!! thanks for the trans!!

i love her! her voice is SO mature for her age. her singing is like... sounds like such a grown up woman or something. she's so amazing! and i love her song<3

it just kills me how she's younger than i am T_T
hopefully, she goes far far farr~

I really like her! Both the song and her voice are great. I hope she makes it big. <3

omg she is sooo cute
and i love her song its awesome
already on my "25 most played on ITunes"
heh

I definately will support her. Love her voice! It's very...calming and soulful. She's young too, so lots of time for her in the music industry.
Hopefully she's gonna be a big hit. Can't wait to hear more of her songs.

Translation for Ugly Duckling
(remember, they may not be as accurate as how a real korean speaker can translate it...but...it's as accurate as can be, at least for me...)

upon request....


Ugly Duckling

See the far sky
Mom, where the stars live anyway

I see the lonely night

Me with my small flap
Ugly duckling, but the same
My song will reach the sky
You'll then be able to find me

The cloud stairways rising far
Dad will laugh and rejoice to see and hear

The day when I am alone, I will wait

Me with my small flap
Ugly duckling, but the same
My song will reach the sky
You'll then be able to find me

But do not cry if your heart is sad
Some day I will also seek home again

Me with my small flap
Ugly duckling, but the same
My song will reach the sky
You'll then be able to find me

One, two, three; I count the white pretense
A tear flows as I walk down

My gosh, I wasn't expecting her to be that young. Good thing I'm still younger than her but...><; wow she can really sing, and she's not plastic-looking pretty either (more natural sort of pretty )

Her voice and the MV for MIA...whoo. I'm liking her already. I hope she gets the fame she should have, because she has talent D:

BTW, thanks for the translations and romanisations

LOL it seems like im so old to be a fan of her XD
everyone is so young o.0
neeways,
