korean actress IU


IU is coming back to the Philippines after almost five years!

Korean singer-songwriter and composer IU is confirmed to visit the Philippines on June 1, 2024, for her upcoming world tour, H.E.R., at the Philippine Arena.

She is also the first Korean soloist to headline a concert at the venue that can cater to 55,000 concert-goers.

At midnight of January 17, IU announced on her X (formerly Twitter) account that she would have her first world tour which includes a total of 18 stops.

IU's H.E.R. World Tour will kick off in Seoul in March for a four-day concert in the KSPO Dome. The first two dates are on March 2 and 3, while the other two are scheduled on March 9 and 10.

Included in her tour list are Yokohama, Taipei, Singapore, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Manila [Bulacan], Kuala Lumpur, London, Berlin, Bangkok, Osaka, Newark, Atlanta, Washington D.C, Rosemont, Oakland, and Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, Uaenas expressed their anticipation for the concert since H.E.R World Tour is IU's first concert outside Korea after almost five years with Love, Poem.

No further details about the seating plan and ticket prices have been announced, but Filipino Uaenas are already excited that IU is coming back to the Philippines since her last stop in the country on December 13, 2019 at the Araneta Coliseum.

IU even recognized the Philippines at one of her appearances on a Korean variety show. She said it “was a perfect concert in a whole new way”.

The soloist also shared her experiences during her concert in the Philippines and said that she and her band could not hear the music well because of the loud cheering of Filipino Uaenas.

Lee Ji-eun, professionally known as IU, is a Korean soloist, singer-songwriter, actress, and composer who is known for her hit songs like “Blueming”, “Celebrity”, and “Good Day”. She also starred in the hit Korean fantasy drama Hotel del Luna.
