IU slays everyone with latest IC song release
There have been lots and lots and loooots of articles in the korean media about IU lately so i translated some of the comments~ The mediaplay for IU has been going pretty strong for the last few days. Even though some of it is pretty exaggerated, as a fan of IU, I still feel like bragging about her a little >.
Even though I might do this once in a while for funsies, no, i will not do this on a regular basis because stuff like this kinda skewers ifan’s perspective and opinions on things. A few comments on some news articles don’t reflect the entire opinion of “all of korea/all knetz”. Comments are just comments.. Some positivity here doesn’t mean there isn’t any negativity somewhere else. So people should keep that in mind and take everything with a grain of salt
[Naver] IU was just meant to do well
Article talks about IU’s reasons for success. She has great musical talent and success as a singer songwriter. Also mentions her success in acting.
[+22,078, -1,011] I completely agree. In my opinion right now is just the start of her peak
[+20,510, -931] Seriously IU just keeps on evolving
[+21,196, -3,718] IU is a million times better at singing than exo
[+15,221,-845] IU who is evolving more and more, day by day
[+14,041,-862] IU is seriously awesome
[+2,043,-235] Even though I had already kinda knew that IU is pretty good, I didn’t know it was to this level. Listening to the IC songs often, it made think that IU is a genius. In addition to that, she is so pretty. Even a female would gape at her. IU, enjoy your golden age!
[+2,084,-280] Seeing how she treats Park Myungsoo so courteously, you can tell that she has great character.
[+1,901,-221] She’s really great at writing lyrics and composing.. Seeing how her main focus is slow, calm, acoustic guitar type of music, people tend to think that she has a weak range. But, when she suddenly appeared on stage for the performance of “I Cheated” with GD and Park Myungsoo, you can see that she has a lot of strength in her voice. IU has such versatile musical talents!
[+1315,-180] When she appeared on stage for “I Cheated” with straight long hair, I almost had a heart attack no joke
[+1244,-174] Up until her You and I days, I only just had good vibes about her. From when her scandal happened, I started to become a real fan. To be honest, I didn’t know she would be able to achieve this level of recovery. In the end, I think that singers that have good music and talent should be able to climb back up again. Leon is also so freaking good. Yeah!

[Nate] Section TV, IU “I’m looking forward to Haha and Zion T’s performance the most”
[+766,-52] I liked Leon the most. For the performance, they used EDM but took it out for the studio version. I think that was a great decision.
[+641, -50] Why are there no comments..I personally, loved the beginning of Sponsor
[+551,-226] I personally really liked Yoonsang’s song. I thought Hyukoh’s song turned out to be more meh than I expected
[+84,-14] For this year’s IC festival, I thought Jung junha was the one that fit the theme of “infinity challenge” the most. He seemed to be the one that was working the hardest at trying his best even though all the members were working hard too..From riding on the [blue skateboard thing] to popping, he also worked really hard on rapping. Honestly, isn’t he doing well for someone who’s doing all this for the very first time? Also, they only had 1 week..the song was also great; so to me it was the best.
[+61,-19] But for me, I liked Hyukoh’s song the most~ The lyrics are really deep and philosophical and the guitar sounds made it really upbeat and fun.
[+61,-9] IC really made me take a second look at IU. Her team is first on the charts. Among Korea’s best composers, her digitals are doing the best
[+55,-12] I personally think that Zion T is pretty good at dancing

[Naver] To think that IU’s reversal with “kkakkakka” would dominate like this
Article mostly talks about pms and iu’s unexpected chemistry and success and them adding the edm kkakkakka part for the perf
[+7047,-395] she’s full of more charms than just another pretty girl group
[+6186,-265] IU got so pretty, more than when she first debuted..
……a bunch of comments about how pretty she is………
[+814, -30] Jaehwan and his belly when he was jumping up and down kekee
[+333,-35] The music is the music but she was able to overcome their 23 year age difference, sync up and make good use of their synergy together, all while showing her capabilities as, not just a singer, but also as a producer. IU was able to prove herself as an artist in the eyes of the public

[nate] IU, trapped in an EDM factory, but still able to blossom flowers with “Leon”
mostly talks about the music genre and stuff about the song
[+447, -38] IU is a genius..
[+397, -28] The lyrics are full of wit and written and composed really well. The song’s great
[+305,-28] song’s really good
[+43,-7] (tn:really long comment about pms getting criticized in the beginning but it ended up fine in the end)
[+39,-5] For IU, this is just the start..she’s a singer that will have lots to show us in the future
[33,-6] PMS got uselessly criticized so much. It ended up being a win-win. During the perf, the edm beat dropped at the very end and it was not bad. The Leon and Matilda idea was also his.
______________________________________________________
[naver] it was pretty great decison that IU did IC
[+5405,-380] IU’s song-writing talent is seriously genius level
[+4703,-302] Seeing how she was with PMS, you can tell that she’s really nice and well mannered
[+3837,-284] IU with straight short hair is life
……more comments about her being pretty……
[+649,-65] Even so, the biggest beneficiary out of IC is Jaehwan keekee
[+373,-67] Like what Lee Juck said, PMS who is helping her up her potential for composing by having her explore new genres through dance music is amazing. IU, who wrote a dance song while still expressing herself is also amazing. Seeing her write rap lyrics is awesome. Her song directing is awesome. Any ways, this collab is awesome
[+316,-47] the song is the song but the lyrics are seriously amazing…it really saved Leon (tn: not sure whether OP is referring to the song or the concept/character). Looking at the lyrics, this team and Hyukoh are the best
[nate] -same article-
[+524,-27] PMS did really good for coming up with the leon and matilda concept
[+506,-26] +jaehwan the songwriter
[+352,-42] everything with IC will do good

BONUS because Jaehwan is life
[naver] Yoo Jaehwan, will be debuting within the year, currently working on the song
says maybe it’ll be in 1-2 months if things go well. Even though he was introduced as a producer, he’s actually preparing to début as a singer. He was going to début soon but it was pushed back because of the IC festival. But, even though he hasn’t debuted yet, he has really become a celebrity by showing everyone his good personality. Also, he’s a really great vocalist. He’s actually also a professor at Seoul Hoseo Art College
[+14,577, -65] the biggest beneficiary out of this year’s IC festival tbh
[+11,749, -69] PMS said that as soon as your eyes meet, he’ll say Yessir immediately keekee Jaehwan fighting!
[+9811,-102] it would be great if he continued to appear on broadcast…such a waste of his talents
