Despite the prospect of her being put into a girl group, she made her solo debut in 2008 after ten months of training. After signing with LOEN Entertainment in 2007, she moved to Bangbae, Seoul. IU used to train at Good Entertainment with Uee, Yubin, Heo Ga-yoon, and Jun Hyo-seong. She attended 20 auditions but failed all of them, and was also scammed by fake entertainment companies. Р”Вuring her middle school years, IU found her passion for singing and decided to become a singer after being applauded for a performance she gave at her school's sports competition. IU had little contact with her parents over this period of time but felt reassured under her grandmother's care. She and her younger brother lived apart from their parents in a studio room with their grandmother and cousin for over a year in conditions of great poverty. Soon after her elementary school years, her family's financial situation deteriorated, and they eventually moved to the nearby Uijeongbu in Gyeonggi Province. At an early age, IU became interested in pursuing a career in the entertainment industry and began attending acting classes. IU was born Lee Ji-eun on May 16, 1993, in Songjeong-dong, Seoul, South Korea. 2.8 2019РІР‚вЂњpresent: Persona, Hotel del Luna, Love Poem, and Lilac.2.7 2017РІР‚вЂњ2018: Palette, A Flower Bookmark 2 and My Mister.2.6 2015РІР‚вЂњ2016: Continued acting success and further EP releases.2.4 2013: First starring roles and Modern Times.2.3 2012: Japanese debut and first solo concert tour.2.2 2010РІР‚вЂњ2011: Rising popularity and acting debut.Following her supporting role in teen drama Dream High and minor appearances in several television series, she starred in You're the Best, Lee Soon-shin, Pretty Man, The Producers, Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, My Mister, Persona, and Hotel del Luna. Р”Р„side from her music career, IU has ventured into hosting radio and television shows, as well as acting. She was named Gallup Korea's Singer of the Year in 2014 and in 2017. In 2014, Billboard recognized IU as the all-time leader of its Korea K-pop Hot 100 chart with the most number-one songs and the artist who has held the number-one position for the most weeks. One of the best-selling solo acts in the group-dominated K-pop industry, she has been included on Forbes magazine's annual Korea Power Celebrity list since 2012 and reached a peak ranking of number three that year. IU has released a total of five studio albums and nine extended plays in her career, scoring five number-one albums and twenty-seven number-one singles on the Gaon Music Charts. Chat-Shire marked the first time she is credited as the sole lyricist and composer of her own album. While her subsequent releases, including albums A Flower Bookmark (2014), Chat-Shire (2015), Palette (2017) and Lilac (2021) continued to deviate from mainstream K-pop styles, IU retained her dominance on music charts. The album was ranked number two on Billboard's '25 Greatest K-Pop Albums of the 2010s' list. IU's third full-length album release, Modern Times (2013), showcased a more mature style that marked a departure from her earlier girlish image, with several tracks reaching the top 10 positions on Gaon Digital Chart.

2011 also saw her first foray into songwriting with 'Hold My Hand', which was written for the television series The Greatest Love. She is known now as 'The Nation's Sweetheart'. With the success of her 2011 albums, Real+ and Last Fantasy, IU established herself as a formidable force on the music charts of her native country and further cemented her girl next door image as Korea's 'little sister'. 'Good Day' went on to spend five consecutive weeks at the top position of South Korea's Gaon Digital Chart, and in 2019, it was ranked number one on Billboard's '100 Greatest K-Pop Songs of the 2010s' list. Although her follow-up albums, Growing Up and IU.IM, brought mainstream success, it was after the release of ' Good Day' ( Korean: РјСћвЂ№РјСњР‚ Р»вЂљВ ), the lead single from her 2010 album Real, that she achieved national stardom. The name IU is a combination of 'I' and 'you' meaning 'you and I become one through music.' She signed with Kakao M (formerly LOEN Entertainment, now Kakao Entertainment) in 2007 as a trainee and debuted as a singer at the age of fifteen with her first mini album Lost and Found (2008).
