FIRST TIME REACTING TO IU! 'Celebrity' 'Blueming' & 'Palette' MV | REACTION!! 

Guys... I don’t care how meaningful they are.... I do not care about lyrics. The fact that they’re meaningful is not going to make me want to react to them unfortunately. I am here to listen to the music production and comment on the sounds I’m hearing. There are many other reactors out there that will read lyrics but that’s not me I want to concentrate on chord progressions and sequences. It’s music ... not a book. While I’m trying to read words and understand the meaning I will miss a small intricate part of the music or her vocals and that’s no worth it to me, especially since lyrics don’t appeal to me in the first place. One of the things I love about listening to Korean music is not understanding the words and just FEELING the sounds.

even tho palatte has been out for years, it always feels fresh and like I’m hearing it for the first time :)

Your celebrity's celebrity. Idol's idol. Korea's favourite princess. Celebrity is a pre-release single and it already has a realtime all-kill on the charts.

I absolutely love IU! I feel like she doesn't really follow trends, she just does her own unique thing. Her B-sides have a lot of subtle jazz influences or even old French pop music, it's so good

iu is so versatile. She does a lot of songs in a softer tone but she has a really powerful voice

The song is a love song to her fans, telling us that we are special in her eyes, and that WE are her celebrity. It asks us to know that we are loved. It’s a request to love ourselves. The MV, however, is the illustration of her journey of how she herself came to love herself. In the beginning she looks uncomfortable in the spotlight and she’s shown to be lonely in a crowd that’s faceless and anonymous. It’s constantly shown how she sees another version of herself, who is a stranger to herself. In the end, she follows this stranger/IU, only to find a mirror. It’s symbolic that this person she has been chasing all along was inside her all along. It’s a journey we’ve had a peek through her songs like 23 and Palette. Once she realized this, she’s able to smile in the spotlight, rather than feeling like she needs to hide from the press she was hiding from earlier. The message is poignant, in the wake of losing so many of her friend. She’s imploring her fans to love and cherish themselves as she’s learned to do herself.

She has more mature songs, especially in her latest album like love poem and the visitor, actually the visitor is my all time fav IU song, unlucky is very entertaining to listen to

IU really is a rare gem. She’s highly respected and beloved by all. Maybe that’s why she has not one but two national titles throughout her career: “Nation’s Little Sister” and “Nation’s Sweetheart”.

NOW YOU KNOW WHY IU IS MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE FEMALE ARTIST! in her last 3-4 albums she got more and more involved in the writing and now she pretty much does her own thing, and you can see it both in the meaning of her songs and the MVs, they always tell a story that is very much relatable to her career and personality! She's got AMAZING collabs and just, each album she released is just pure gold! (for her music more than ever I suggest reading the lyrics on your own cause she has a way of storytelling that you simply cannot find anywhere else in Kpop!)

she best lyricist too 😔🤚

IU the idol of idols 🥰 can't wait for her album

I'm so happy that you're reacting to IU!! I just wanna say that her discography is very very diverse from ballads, rock, pop to jazz and r&b songs! I hope we see more IU soon ~

i really recommend checking out the palette album, there are so many great songs on there!

OHHH IU is literally a goddess. That woman is just, wow. I found myself loving her old songs as much as I love her new songs. She's really something else

IU is so pretty just like the girl reacting to her

IU songs always brings a fresh melody that never gets boring

She is so beautiful ❤

Yeah, I already knew Palette was going to be your favorite. Its totally your vibe. And GD is even featured. Legendary pairing.

She’s a Queen 👑

bbibbi of iu is cute too 😊

Some cool things to point out in the Blueming music video! Not sure if you pay attention to the music video at all but it was rly interesting to me so just putting it out there haha: the Blueming mv is meant to simulate text messaging! The earthquake at the beginning represents the vibration of a text notification. In her mailbox ull notice a grey gift, which represent a text (on an iphone), then she paints it blue and sends it back (which is just texting back). Then at the very end they finally meet in person :) Btw, not telling u to watch the lyrics (I totally respect that u find music production more interesting than lyrics!) but I just wanted to point out a detail in the video that was interesting to me :)

IU always makes me feel happy, something about her songs just make it feel like u have to just get over stuff, idk how to explain the vibe

Her lyrics are always so beautifulllll

Have been a KPOP fan for a decade now and IU's Pallette is still my favorite work of her. The musicality and the message is *chef's kiss*

IU is so glamorous, perfect and a complete queen. Thanks for reacting❤

When you come to IU, you must read the lyrics for her videos, it always has the meaning for every videos she made

Palette is such a good song! And it’s a real contrast to her song 23! It feels like a sequel in a way. She talks about being 23 in the song ‘23’ and talks about being ‘25’ in palette.

My first time listening to Celebrity. I didn’t realise this song came out but wow so good. When Blueming came out I fell in love and I don’t usually listen to her songs. I’m glad you did this reaction. IU is a legend in kpop. She’s so talented. I hope you check out more of her stuff even if you may not prefer her style of music but there’ll be some songs that will appeal to you.

Her voice is so special 😍😍

IU's voice is just so so soooooooo pretty :3 my fave song is 'above the time' literally cried the first time I heard it and still can't get over it! So sorrowful yet soothing and super sweet sounding. Would like to recommend it to you (obviously you don't have to react to it or listen to it, but thought i'd recommend it :3 )

Fifi can you please react to Lee hi she's also talented you'll like her songs: HOLO NO ONE BREATHE

I'm so happy u discovered her music she is such a great artist I'm hoping for more reactions of her

omg I'm so glad u finally reacting to IU!!

Personally, I really love Eight. It’s probably my favorite of her songs I’ve listened to.

I really like your structure of delving into new artists through their comeback days! 💚 its been enjoyable to watch you discover them

Thank you for your reaction! I love it!!

I KNEW IT! It would be Pallete, it has to... hahahaha i don't know if u already heard "Bbibbi" by her too bcz that was so popular but i'm sure it would be one of your fave songs of her! I hope u react on it if u haven't heard it 🥺 (your cat is so calm and u mimic cats so accurate uwu)

IU songs that you might love: -Sleepless rainy night (very chill, lotsnof bass guitar action and it also has your fave instrument hueheue) -Soulmate (it's actually Zico ft. IU) (chill trumpet-ey, bass-ey, lots of acoustic guitar riffs) -Friday (this song is just my happy pill. Very light kinda jazzy vibes) -dlwlrma (yes that's the title HAHAHA another happy pill jazzy vibes)

I LOVED YOUR REACTION! It was an honest and lovely one! And you're veeeery pretty!

In only 5 words: I LOVE HER SO MUCH 💜 for the person she is and will become. From her humble beginnings to her making her 'own mark' - Her life is so inspiring! "Palette" album is in my Top 5 ATF Albums of All Time 🏆

I knew you'd love Palette. The vibe is so smooth.

The musicians that record and play for her on her arena tours are all outstanding And almost all come from a jazz background. Her" guitarists, Jukjae and Jehwi do "a lot" of arrangements and compose. One of her main keyboardist Hong Sojin does the same and she "acts as a concert-master at some of her gigs. 2 of the 3 above also plus the drummer gig and record for Crush and Sam Kim.

Omg i really love your reaction so much..truly hope theres more iu reaction..since she has tons of good songs..her bside track is either as good as title track or so much moree

IU!!!! YESSS!! Omg I am totally HERE for this!

Pallete my fav too and i really love all of her song. Love poem, dear name its really good song❤

OMG You just reminded me how much I love Palette TT

queen iu🧚🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️

For Blueming, the one with the live band at her Love Poem concert is really good if you're interested on that and Hold My Hand at Love Poem Concert Clip

Oh my, hope you take a listen to her earlier works like Red Shoes and covers of old (i.e., 70's) Korean classics. Her range is unreal!

Pallete is my favorite song, so glad you reacted to this. IU's Through The Night and Ending Scene is my other favorite, its kind of a ballad tho hehehe!~~

Also 29! And I've been an IU fan since 2010. Her music is amazing and so diverse! Highly suggest you check out some of her other title tracks, but also her bsides. Some of my favorite IU songs (title tracks and bsides) are: Jam Jam, Twenty-Three, Black Out, The Visitor, Ending Scene, Can't Love You Anymore, Through the Night, Love of B, Between the Lips, Obliviate, and Zeze (check out the special clip of this one). Also, I think you'd like some of her remake songs like Sleepless Rainy Night and Last Night Story 💕💜. Highly suggest those if you're looking to go further down into IUs music history 🔥 If you do. Hope you enjoy!!

Why i love bout IU is that she doesn’t give a fuck about what’s trendy if it’s old she’ll turn it into something new and of course her own style

She is a legend in korea

Your cat making a cameo just chilling in all your reactions are gold tbh. Also i like watching your reactions just because you give a different reaction from other reactors because you ignore the lyrics and focus on the music. You do you, girl 💖

You should check out 23, Through the Night, Good Day and Ending Scene.

yasss UI TT_TT her songs are timeless!! so soothing

I love your reaction. 💕

If you loved blueming .. then.i really really recommend you to listen to the live performance of it .. they hve updated official concert clip from her last concert..

IU's "Throught the night" always makes me cry even when I don't read the lyrics because you can just feel the subtle longing and sadness in her voice.

IU queen!!! Even if she probably isn't that super mega ultra popular internationally, she has SK wrapped around her little finger. Always toping the charts whenever she releases something, be it an OST, collab, single, album or whatever 😭❤️ she's also a good actress!!

Ahhh, Blueming has several live clips, check her vocals there. She is amazing.

Eargasm... Melody of her songs is like a treat to my ears too her voice so sweet and calming. I couldnt agree more with you. Love ur reactions so I subscribed. Please react for more IU songs. Thank you.

Omg fifi I thought you already like secretly listened to IU hdhsjsbs and yes yes yes her songs are amazing 😭

You will be fascinated immediately when you listen "Love Poem". Especially live clip.

아이유님은 한국에서 전설이죠...진짜 사랑스럽고 뭐든 최초를 달고 다니시는 분입니다..ㅠ♥

Thank you like ur reaction..she is a queen and legend... check out red shoe also very good

Woah! Fifi been reacting a lot to solo artists lately and I’m here for it! Hopefully you will react to Heize too!

Fifi its my first time to see you reacting in IU mv's and I hope you love her just like us (Uaenas) 😉💚

Iu never fails in producing good songs and good music..love her so much

It's so great to see you freaking out over IU ... especially Palette.

You will LOVE! Hyuk Oh and IU - Can't love you anymore

You'll love Jam Jam by IU. Lot of heavenly high notes that're distinctively IU style.

Jieun is one of my favorite singers in SK. I think you will like her more poppy songs. Most of her best are ballads though, so not sure how you will feel about that. She has a lot of really, really great ballads.

She plays in the Drama "hotel de luna" on netflix if you like to Check her acting out.

Yes!! Iu , My favorite Soloist. And Dgragon.... 🥰🥰 Plus How are you today? 💙💚 I think the song that starts with a B you mentioned is BbiBbi The fact that Iu is almost 30. She Does Not Age!! Beautiful.

iu's song is not a crying material, but palette (esp. g.dragon's line) makes me constantly cry everytime ;-;

Totally not shocked that Palette turned out to be your favourite out of the three. Any chance you're going to check out her other music? Her breakout/early stuff has a very theatrical sound to it (Good Day, You and I, The Red Shoes). IU's always uniquely been herself and does what she wants with her music, so I respect her a ton. Love what you do! Stay amazing!

IU! 😍😍😍💙💙💙

Her saying Unpretty gives me TLC vibes. Also Palette is also my favourite of these 3 as it’s just so happy carefree flowy goodness...and then GD🥴

first look, you look like a work of art. you look so good

Pallete is a song that make me feel very emotional no matter how many time I listen to it. i bought the physical and album too

IU in 1 word is vibey.

Have you listened to 8 the acoustic version, and blueming live you will love the instrumental in the live concert, the guitar is sick.

The first time i heard Palette i legit cried. I swear IU has powers.

React to her debut song “lost child” pls!

Uuu i love tht u r really honest not caring abt d lyrics, tho she's one of the best lyricist out there i would say, anyway try listen to her modern times album coz she's really exploring varies music genre tht💜

Really hoping you’d react to the 1theK special live of Blueming. It’s HELLA GOOD

Would strongly recommend checking out her jazz album Modern Times

Nice reaction👍If you can react to more her songs, you will become a Uaena.

"I have a friend who has been treated as an odd person because of their eye-catching dress code, peculiar taste, variety of talents, a defense mechanism derived from shyness, and personality that has strong opinions on most things. I love my friend even more because of these characteristics, but they said that they had to live through more hatred for the same reasons. I started by writing down the words I wanted to say to my 'odd' friend, but as I wrote, I gradually realized that this was also my story. After completing the lyrics, I thought that it wasn't unnatural at all if I substituted anyone, not just me or my friend, as the main character. Everyone feels alienated at one point because they didn't meet the standards set by others. Including my friend, I want to speak to everyone who was born as strong but unique, that you are not an odd person, but that you are like a star." - IU

Yaaayy iu

As a IU fan, I want to say you have taste.

I know you'll like Above The Time

You should watch live videos of her songs, her live are always superior

IU my queen 👑 JiEun my girl 👧🏻

thank you

you should react more to her old songs! they were vocal heavy :)

I’m still really néw to Kpop since I mainly only follow TWICE. But even I know that this lady is a powerhouse in the industry. I watched a video that listed her as one of the wealthiest artists in Korean entertainment. Mainly because she owns all of her own music. 💜💜

you should hear her live performance

Honestly, I didn't like IU before but I learn to love her and her works starting with the song Someday.
