Korean singer IU is releasing a new song this January!

Singer IU's agency EDAM Entertainment announced through Korean media outlets, “IU is currently in the midst of preparations for her fifth full-length album, and she will be pre-releasing one song from that album on January 27.”

EDAM Entertainment also described IU's upcoming new track in their press release. “It has a bright and cheerful pop sound that can energize those listening to it. It's a genre of music that IU is trying for the first time.”

Earlier this month, IU revealed a treat to her fans by sharing that she is already preparing to release a new album. IU made this announcement during her Daesang (Grand Prize) acceptance speech at the 35th Golden Disc Awards on January 9. IU also hinted that she is dropping a pre-release track this month.

IU emerged as a big winner at the Golden Disc Awards, taking home the Grand Prize known as the Digital Daesang, or the Digital Song of the Year.

She said in her speech, “On top of the Bonsang, it's an honor to be receiving a Grand Prize at the Golden Disc Awards for the first time in three years. Thank you to the listeners who continuously showed their love for the song 'Blueming' for over a year. Thank you to the composers of the song. Thank you to my family at EDAM Entertainment. Thank you to the band team and dance team who helped me put on a great performance today. For my 'Love Poem' performance, I showed messages that artists wanted to send their fans through their music, so thank you to those artists for participating.”

IU continued, “Thank you to those artists who kept making amazing music with the belief that even though we are in difficult times, we need music, as well as to the concert staff who are going through a really hard time right now.”

She also shared plans for her upcoming comeback. “I am planning to release a new album,” she said. “I think it will be a full album. I hope to release at least one song in January that can bring sincere comfort to those who are tired and suffering right now. I think I will be able to release a song that is refreshing and gives people strength. In order to become a singer that UAENA can be proud of, I will not waste a single moment in carelessness.”
