[Seoul Day 2 concert] IU talks about her next 10 years, before singing ‘Dear Name’

I was thinking as I made this video (the violet flowers concert VCR), about what’s going to happen for the next 10 years and I felt, “For all you know, I could be having a more interesting and better life than I do now.”

It’s only recently that I started having such thoughts though. Those who liked me since I was young would know this, but I’m not someone with a very high self-esteem or self-confidence. As I promoted as a singer, I built a lot more self-confidence in the process... especially, last year and this year. I always had the worst impression of myself and from a young age, what I felt about my life was, "ah, it’s beyond my ability”.

Somehow, from last year all the way until this year, I’ve been feeling really glad that I was born as myself... It’s not exactly like I changed or anything, I’m still me, but my perception and how I feel about myself seem to have changed. Self-esteem is not just about being pretty, or cool, or great. I think being glad that you were born as yourself is having self-esteem. From last year to this year, I’ve been really glad that I was born as myself. 

While preparing for this concert, I examined my past 10 years and found myself thinking, “Oh right, I really didn’t like myself back then, I really didn’t like how I sounded then", but at the same time, I felt that I’m really satisfied with myself now. I’m really satisfied with the role I play and if I were to be born again, I would like to be born as myself. If I were to pick the biggest change for me for the past 10 years, this would be it.

All of you played a huge role in making that happen, right? Although I don’t know each and every one of your names, or where you live, or your age and so on... but I feel like I know you. Not information about you per se, but still coming to watch this concert after these 10 years, sitting here and listening to me sing for over 3 hours (Note: It was about 3h then, but the whole concert ended after 5.5h).. I think it’s because we know each other well that we’re able to do this.

All of you still look excited too. During this concert tour, I kept having thoughts that if there are people who continue to think I’m interesting and look at me excitedly, I could easily do this for another 10 years.

I’m lacking in some areas, but I’m very grateful that we’ve been spending time together and that you’ve been accommodating towards me for the past 10 years. I’ll.. become better. I’ll become better and I’ll work harder. I’ll do that for the next 10 years. Thank you, everyone.
