It has been 5 years since I attended an IU concert, and also 5 years since she performed in Singapore. As such, I was really excited to be able to get her tickets to watch her here! This is my 4th time attending her concert, previously being her 24 Steps in Taipei 2017, and her dlwlrma and Love Poem concerts in Singapore in 2018 and 2019 respectively.
And oh my, how much her fanbase has grown in these 5 years! Previously, she performed in the modest-sized Star Vista theater. This time, her concert venue has been upgraded to the bigger Singapore Indoor Stadium. In the Singapore part of the tour, she performed two nights, 20th and 21st Apr (Sat and Sun), I attended the Saturday concert.
On the morning of the Saturday concert, it rained very heavily. Nevertheless, it didn't dampen the mood of fans queuing up to get her official merchandise. I got the I-KE v3 lightstick and the black HEREH cap.
At noon, the rain subsided!! Went to the concert venue early to take some proof shots before the venue got crowded. I was also given the banner made by SG Uaenas, and the door gifts specially prepared by IU’s mother. So nice!! I love this photocard especially, for personal reasons ^^
At first, I thought that the “restricted view” would have a rather poor view. However, when I reached my seat - hey actually the view was not bad. While I can’t really see the big screen, I could see IU herself quite up close.
At around 5pm, IU made her appearance!!! Starting with the song 홀씨 Holssi. Omo, I was so moved upon hearing her sing - LIVE - again after 5 years. It’s really touching, yet exhilarating. Everyone was excited and singing fan chants along. Her voice is just simply beautiful. I nearly cried when she sang 너랑 나 You & I as this was the song that made me a fan 12 years ago.
Her fan interactions are very warm and cute at times. When she first tried to do “Swee lah” in the wrong intonation, and the fans didn’t react much, she was, like, perplexed and felt something was off. It was so cute to see her clarifying with her interpreter and then doing the right intonation hehe. Other memorable parts were when IU expressed that SG fans make her touched/happy and sweet/salty, she expresses these emotions as her interpreter translates! Also the ad-hoc interaction with her interpreter is cute itself! ^^
And of course who could forget the confetti party that the front fans got, which amused IU immensely hehe.
After more than 2.5 hrs, en-encore time! Where IU takes in song requests from fans. I’m glad that she took in and also ended off the concert with “팔레트 Palette”.
It was really, really nice to hear her sing live again after 5 years!!!

출장 자주 다녀왔던 싱가포르, 가깝지 않은 적도의 나라죠. 덥고 습했을텐데, 징짱과 싱애나 열기가 이열치열이었을 듯. 생생한 후기 고마워요~
고맙습니다. 열기가 이열치열 이었어요. 하지만 아이유 노래를 들으니 더위가 사라졌어요 😊😊
저도 꼭 가보고 싶네요 ㅠㅠ
The concert really felt like a dream 🥺🥺🥺
Feels so surreal 🥺🥺
Hope u will attend many IU concerts in the future.
Hopefully! 😊
싱가포르 너무너무 좋아요.. 18년 , 19년 , 24년 콘서트 모두 다녀왔어요....★
