Former Boyband Member Reacts to IU 

IU is a super famous singer and phenomenal actress in SK. Let's say she's like the Celine Dion of SK/Asia. And V's acting skills in this mv is awesome like usual. He literally did this mv shoot a week or so before he enlisted. 💜

You can see the Behind the Scene of her recording this song when she’s not feeling well. Kudos to her. Eight is another nice song by IU, produced by SUGA.

Suga produced "Eight" for IU that is a cool song also they collab in "People pt.2". IU has also singed live with J hope in "Equal Sign" and with V in "Ending Scene".

IU can't hear and V’s one eye can't see ,in the end IU covered the good eyes of Taehyung so he won't see the horrible ending in front of them ,im Stuck at how a single tear from Taehyung’s good eye traced its path down his face and IU’s hand gently covered his eyes, It's as if he found a momentary refuge in her touch, offering a subtle relief from the overwhelming sensation ... AH I CAN'T STOP CRYING 😢

Guess what? IU was so sick when recording this song. In the Behind the Scenes she explains she rescheduled 3 times. Here is the Behind the Scenes of her recording the song. She knows herself so well she knew she could push through her illness and record it. I honestly don't know how she did it. Note. IU became a trainee in 2007. In 2008 at age 15, she began performing. She is the #1 female vocalist in South Korea. She could afford the best award winning director because she makes 48 million a year! Oh. And thanks. I Love you listening to the Audio files. Please keep doing that. It's fascinating. And I can see and feel your Joy when you "geek" through a song. Thanks. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S-hEbBXf4wY.htmlsi=GvJqQpdit1Fe5P2_0:02

They filmed in the days just before Taehyung enlisted. He left for enlistment the following day. There is a behind-the-scenes RU-vid video. Also, IU had a very bad cold when she recorded the song and there is video of her recording the song as well. 💜

The director for the MV was Director Um Tae-hwa, South Korean film director and screenwriter known for his award winning film, Concrete Utopia. IU also a well known South Korean Actress. V also had a part in a the 2016 Drama - Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth.

Watching IU record this song while she had the flu increased my respect for her vocals, beautiful. She's so iconic, I personally don't listen to her songs as I'm more R&B and I watched the MV to see V's acting. Amazing MV

I really cried a lot with the mv, I'm army but I listen to IU a lot because of her beautiful voice. LISTEN TO EIGHT BY IU WITH SUGA!!! I discovered her with that song and it's soooo beautiful! Maybe if you keep listening to her, You will discover her beautiful discography.

Iu voice so beautiful ❤ IU is a close friend of BTS, Taehyung V, Suga and Jungkook IU's biggest fan 😂🥰🥰🥰

FYI - the pile of clothing, and set, is inspired by an art piece by Christian Boltanki from about 15 years ago that he did in Paris' Grand Palais including the dropping of the clothing. BTS and others have also used his art instillation in the abandon building as inspiration to show a metaphor of lack of humanity.

IU and V sang a live duet on her song called Ending Scene. It was a part of IU’s live show called Palette. Check it out. They both killed it ❤

j-hope has a song called Equal Sign and he sang a version with IU on her show “IU’s Palette” !!!

V AMAZING acting out all these emotions of fear happiness sorrow furious, in a 5 minute music video is crazy because we see actors failing to act out a single emotion in an 1 hour long episode but here he is, the versatility is showing 😭They they forgot what they were running from because through the lens of the camera, they were able to just love and enjoy life until the reality caught up to them and they were taken away ICRY 😭😭😭😭❤❤😢

Def check out her song Lilac, it's a song she made about growing into her 30's, its adorable.

There's a behind the scenes on her channel showing her recording

I’m so happy that u did this. I love IU. I think she is the Queen of k-pop. Suga also produced a track for IU called Eight. IU recorded this track totally sick

This MV has impacted so many people globally. LOVE the MV and IU's enchanting voice.

I always tear up when I watch the mv. Along with her beautiful voice, it’s really gut wrenching. Also V did fantastic in his acting. They both have such good chemistry.

This is one MV that's making everyone cry!!! They should all get Oscars for that emotional ride :)

Songs by IU and members of BTS: * "Ending Scene" with V, live performance on her talkshow * "eight" and "People Pt. 2" with Suga, MVs and live performances. Suga also co-wrote and produced "eight" * "Equal Sign" and "Pierrot Laughs at Us" with J-hope, live performances.

Thanks for a lovely reaction - I think you'd find the behind the scenes of MV shoot and also the recording studio interesting !

Man, you're really awesome on this reaction...very detailed I would say and I love that❣️🎶👏👍♥️ I'm a fan of V's music (especially his solo jazz songs) and IU's voice / Kdramas.. Both are so talented on their field of music, directing, acting, etc. .😊🤞♥️

IU is amazing singer and actor. She filmed the MV on her first day of the flu and recorded the track while recovering from a cold/flu, still coughing and wasn’t on her top condition. Still, she gave her best performances. Other than BTS, I love her as a person and her professionalism.

Nathan, another good review/reaction. There are a couple of behind the scenes filming videos, as well as one of her recording the song that may be worth watching. The songwriter is the pianist keyboardist on her band and her show called IU’s palette.

Its amazing how ,IU did it so well even when was extremely sick during the recording of the song..she caught flu while shooting the mv in freezing cold weather... 😢 she released her recording clip too.... U can check that out too...

I am glad you reviewed Iu. You can listen to her other songs like lilac, blueming etc. she wrote her songs and she is a famous actress as well.

IU is a friend of BTS for many years. Suga even produced one of her songs and she featured in one of Suga's songs in his last album. Her world tour will begin in Seoul next March 2 and it will ends on the 2nd Agust in Los Angeles. She is a mega star in Korea and in Asia for 16 years. She recorded this song very sick with a cold, because she could not postponed it due to a tight schedule. Please react to Fugii Kase and Shinunoga e-wa live will you? You wont regret it.😊

A great reaction video. IU is fantastic. You should check out her collaboration on Suga's song People Pt.2. Just another one of her brilliant vocals!

IU has her own chat show called Palette, where she interviews other artists. Well worth watching. She is also a fabulous actress and wonderful singer

IU is South Korea's sweetheart she is loved by all, and she also had or was developing pneumonia while recording this song/video but she was still pitch perfect and wanted to get it done because V was enlisting soon. 💛🔥💜

IU's isolated voice is so beautiful

Highly Recommend Songs from IU : My Sea Live from Her Concert with Live band, Eight Live Clip, Dear Name, Secret, Last Fantasy, Good Day, Winter Sleep & Love Poem. Most of her Songs are worthy of analysing because of her vocal range and use of Instruments in the Songs. She is a versatile artist who has created songs in many different genres such as Pop, Ballad, Jazz, R&B, Folk etc.

Her voice is really amazing.

IU is one of the most loved and respected artist in SK! I recommend to check her out on Killing Voice and 2027 MMA clips. IU and BTS are my two favorite artists!

I am overwhelmed by a myriad of emotions. I'll just say...wow...stospheric both...wow....actors should be grateful taehyung chose music as his main career HE SO AMAZING The singular tear falling down Taehyung’s cheek as he accepts his fate. Taehyung is such a powerful actor and able to emote feelings of fear and acceptance all in one scene without a single dialogue

You would definitely want to check Ending scene by IU

I absolutely cried the first 3 times I watched this. 😭😭

Thanks for the great reaction to IU. There is a video of her recording the song, if you are interested.

She could not have oversung even if she had wanted to, because she was EXTREMELY sick the day she recorded her vocals (there's a behind the scenes for the studio recording of this song, and another for the MV)

This video is so beautiful… Cheers to IU, V, and the entire production team. Job well done…💜

Loved this reaction. It's so cool hearing the instruments and her vocals separately. Really really cool!

Nate, watch the behind the scenes too. IU has a video of recording this song coughing and possibly had the flu. See how she gets through it as u would understand how hard it is. I know. IU TV

IU was very sick when she recorded this. She didn’t give up and kept coughing in between takes. Amazing vocalist and actress. I’ve mentioned before you should definitely listen to IU with SUGA People Pt 2. He actually sings and raps on that song. Amazing.

I'm glad you liked the song it's beautiful and the MV is like a mini movie. And yes, I love how you break down the songs 🥰

IU wrote the song and produced this video. This past summer she performed the largest solo concert by any SK woman ever. She has 31 #1 hits on Korean charts, so there's a lot of content for you to make and I'll watch every one of them lol.

I already said below but u need to watch her record this being sick. as a producer you'll understand how hard it can be 😂but I always did my best stuff when sick. IUTV on youtube Lso behind the scenes

This song is really beautiful and the video is bitter sweet lovely an sad, You should check on Eight by IU and Suga produced by Suga they are both producers and friends

IU is an absolutely very talented musician an artist!

Now that you found IU please also watch Mamamoo, on Killing Voice. The group is 4 amazing female singers one of whom as an amazing rapper. They do one min clips of about 6 of their songs. Hwasa would be a Latina Goddess. Solar can hit notes for days, Wheein is the strong backbone with a killer range, and Moonbyle can rap with the best of them.

You can watch IU recording this song in a separate video on her official YT channel.

There's a running joke between Army and V as to why he always has to die at the end of his dramatic/romantic roles and videos and also in the one movie he starred in. So, when V made the MV "FRI(ENDS)", he decided to play with Armys even more by not only dying in the MV, but dying TWICE. I think that's why he winked and smirked at the end of that video. LOL 😂😂😂 That was V's way of saying: Hahaha!! Gotcha, ARMY!! LOL 😂

Something about Tae being the more vulnerable one with IU leading and trying to protect him is just so poignant. I’ve read that he has burn marks on his face which could mean that he’s had an experience with the cube before. This song makes me so emotional. IU’s beautiful crystal clear voice is stunning.

IU fandom name : Uaena. IU/Lee Ji-eun is a South Korean actress, singer, songwriter and record producer. She debuted in 2008 with her 1st EP or 1st Album "Lost and Found". IU is called "Nation's Little Sister". I love her music so much. She is one of my favorite solo artists. She is such a beauty ! I really adore her. I really appreciate her. She is THE BEST.

goddamn this song just gets better every time I hear it. IU is an absolute legend

Thanks for your reaction :) If you are interested in her, please more react to her live session, specially her Dingo live or another lots of her live videos!

Yup...got me emotionally, too! Same...Sad & mad. V on day two of shooting was hoarse. Doesn't have recording of his voice in the video when he beats the cube, but behind the scenes video he was screaming.......

V es un gran actor !! Lo adoré ❤❤❤

Yeah, she was actually really sick when she recorded it…. Such a gorgeous song and video

AMAZING 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

IU actually recorded this while she was ill with a cold. She has amazing vocals even when not at her 100%.

If you search up Love wins recording session video I mean when IU actually records the song, your mind will be blown away because of her voice.

How about "Hold my hand" which is her first song she composed? Or you could check "DIngo music" IU clips before diving into IU world.

yes I love the mix of reaction and the AI analysis of the track! our ears can't notice that much detail

You should check out 'My sea' from IU

Hello In your show IU sang "Love Wins All" so beautiful and we watch the alternative final... the fãs are crazy!!!💜💟

IU is a very unique singer and is known as a national treasure in South Korea. She encountered financial difficulties in her family when she was a child, so she determined to become an "adult" who could support her own life earlier. Because she likes singing, she decided to be a singer. She hoped to connect the hearts between "I and YOU" through music with emotions, so she took the stage name "IU". Originally, she wanted to be a traditional ballad singer when she debuted, but because too young, she did not gain much attention from the public in that time(when she is only 15). Later, the entertainment company tried to package her as an idol singer, and achieved great success (in the year she was 18). But when she became very popular with the public at the age of 21 with her beautiful appearance and cheerful personality, she decided to regain her original ambition and embark on a completely different path from ordinary Kpop......She remake songs more than 20-years-old, and re-introduced the popular culture of the previous generation to the younger generation, and received a very good response from public. From then on, Koreans no longer viewed her as an idol with only a sweet image, but instead viewed her with respect as a real "artist of music" who contributed to popular culture. She is not an ordinary singer, but a person who across the fields of pop culture, arts and entertainment at the same time. In additional to her famous angelic voice just like moonlight, she is also known for her versatility and is an award-winning singer, music producer, lyricist, also a top-tier actress and model. She has many popular songs composed by herself. Because she has held the belief that "love will eventually win" for many years, she wrote the lyrics and produce the project herself, and specially asked the film director she had collaborated with to film this MV.(The directer won the 2023 Blue Gragon Films Award of Korea)

IU is also an actress. Really loved this song and video

They were eviscerated, and the reason she covered his good eye was because she did not want him to see his impending death. She loved him so much that she did not want him to suffer. very emotional. I cry so much when I watch this video.

Thank you for watching first before taking it apart.

She was sick when she recorded this ..imagine how much more amazing it would have been had she not been sick...... she has a new fan here ❤

I love IU, she’s like the Taylor Swift of Korea!

Love the reaction. And your cover of Fake Love is still one of the best I've heard. 💜

Thanks for reacting to this song💜

Great reaction! I was hoping you'd react to this one. So emotional! They did such a phenomenal job with that video. And IU had a bad cold while recording this and still killed it. She's amazing.

Thank youu for ur reaction 🎉

Thank you Nathan!

Thanks for your reaction!! I like this style of reacting. Mv first then breaking down the music. I also like that you are looking up the meaning of the songs. It feels like you can start to fully appreciate the song/mv.

The live performance in her concert was good❤

Thanks for this reaction! I got into IU after becoming Army. She’s amazing! If you really want to hear her vocal range, may I suggest Good Day. It’s one of her first hits and at the end she does an INCREDIBLE 3 note progression without any difficulty! Once you start listening to her, you’ll become a fan! Btw-I forgot to mention that she’s a real kick a** actress too! Check out Hotel Del Luna and watch her talk show called Pallette. 👍🏼

MORE IU :D

Our Queen ❤❤❤❤

You should watch the behind-the-scenes of this song. She recorded this song while sick the title of the video is "IU 'Love wins all' Recording Behind" and it has eng subs too

This song is so beautiful. Acting is amazing 👏. Does everyone know that Usher is the main half-time show at the super bowl 🏈 and he's doing...you guessed it, "Standing next to you " remix.

Congratulations on reaching 20K subs

I feels like Titanic a little bit where iu and v running around people when they were eating

The fact she recorded this when she had a cold is insane, her vocals are amazing 🫶🏼

If you watch the behind the scenes footage of her singing this in the studio you’ll see that she was really sick.

you can watch the beind the scenes of the audio recording on her youtube channel, she's the best

Please react the recording of the song. She was so sick but she still recorded because of schedulles to be met. And the behind the scenes of the video. Oh gosh it made me cry every single time.

Suga produced IU song called "eight" you might need to check that out!

I absolutely love this song. I get a knot in my throat and cry every time I hear it. IU has such a beautiful voice. Pure tone for sure. What is it about strings in a song?!?! I absolutely love strings in a song. It’s ethereal to my ears always. I would recommend listening to Love Poem, Ending Scene, and Eight (produced by Suga). Eight was their first collaboration together and holds a special meaning for IU in regards to the loss of a beautiful friend that she and Suga both knew. You can also find her collabing with Suga on his solo album. She is truly amazing.

'That makes me sad and mad' welcome to the club Nath. IU is an amazing, talented person; a great singer, actress and host of her own show. She also did a song with Suga (People pt. 2) and Suga produced a beautiful song for her called Eight which has a sad backstory. She's a national treasure in South Korea.

IU has like 2 more songs with Suga as the producer. 1. Eight (feat & prod. SUGA) 2. People Pt. 2 (feat. IU)

I would recommend you "my sea" which is an amazing song from IU (and the Golden Hour live version is truly vocally amazing) 😊

Thanks!! So Sad ㅠㅠ 😭 It's the Best collaboration ~!! She is the Best actor and performer!

The behind the scene video explained that the director wanted a younger man for Vs character. IU took the lead as it’s her video. Age is very symbolic in S Kores

There's a making-of studio recording video out where IU sings the track with a savage cold, practically collapsing while singing. The producer jokes about her coughing up blood and spattering the camera lens (which they would then make a RU-vid short of).

Suga’s song People pt2 features IU. You should check it out.

You would love seeing her sing this in the studio! She was soooo sick when she was recording.
