Extra: What can I do on IU’s uaena fancafe if I don’t know Korean?
1. Once logged in, clicking on ‘From.IU’ on the left menu will show you all of IU’s fancafe posts, replies to fans and selcas, but IU tells us NOT to screencap her fancafe posts or repost the original content outside of uaena fancafe.
2. To search for all of IU’s replies to any post, scroll to the bottom of the post, select ‘댓글작성자’ from the dropdown menu and type ‘아이유’ or copy paste this and then click the blue 검색 button to search.
3. Back on the left menu, click ‘원본사진’ to see all the latest IU photos and fanphotos. ‘영상 + 음성’ is for videos and audio files. You can post your own if you want to, just copy paste and modify someone else’s title in Korean. If you’re posting fanphotos, just copy paste the name of the schedule and add ‘by (your nickname)’ at the end. ‘회원작품’ is for fanedits and ‘인증자랑’ is for showing off proof shots of your IU merchandise/collection. The orange ‘N’ there just means there’s a new post since you last checked.

5. Finally, if you download the Daum Cafe app, you can ‘star’ the boards you like and click the star again to make it a jiggly vibrating star, which means that you will receive a notification whenever there’s a new post in that board. You can start by making ‘From.IU’ a jiggly vibrating star.
