♦ Imagine gracing the stage at the iconic Seoul World Cup Stadium, a venue that’s anything but ordinary! Only our girl IU could pull off a legendary show ♦
Let’s give a round of applause to the one and only, Lee Ji-eun famously known as IU, a true K-pop sensation! While IU is one of the biggest names in K-pop, she’s also living proof that dreams don’t come easy! This queen went from rags to riches, but her journey was anything but smooth. She auditioned for twenty companies and faced rejection from nearly all of them, even JYP Entertainment, one of the top players in the game. But we all know how with hard work and a sprinkle of determination, she turned her dream into pure brilliance.
She just wrapped up her first world tour, and guess what? She celebrated a major milestone by pulling off her “100th solo concert.” Her latest encore concert named, “The Winning,” concluded on September 22, 2024, making history in the process.
But let’s talk about the real star of the night: the guest list! From BIGBANG’s G-Dragon to ATEEZ’s Seonghwa and Jongho, Lesserafim’s Sakura and Chaewon, and RIIZE’s Anton and Sungchan, this concert was practically a red carpet for K-pop idols! And it didn’t stop there. BTS’s J-Hope and V were in the house, along with Aespa’s Winter, EXO’s D.O., the national host Yoo Jae Suk, and comedian duo Park Myung Soo and Yang Se Chan. Oh, and ITZY’s fabulous four, Yeji, Ryujin, Chaeryeong, and Yuna, were also spotted.
Whispers about a mysterious man who looked a lot like IU’s real-life boyfriend, the handsome actor Lee Jong-Suk also swirled around. He’s been known to support her at her concerts, so honestly, it wouldn’t be shocking at all.

Here’s a full list of all Korean celebrities who attended IU’s encore concert:
IU delivered a breathtaking three-hour performance, taking fans on a musical journey through her incredible sixteen-year career with 24 songs! And yes, she even blessed us with a sneak peek of her encore-only special unreleased song, “Bye Summer.”
But wait, there’s more! IU is now the first female K-pop artist to headline the iconic Seoul World Cup Stadium, following in the footsteps of legends K-pop groups. And she didn’t stop there, during her performance of “Shh…,” a song dedicated to empowering women, she showcased stunning images of K-pop queens like Blackpink, Mamamoo, Twice, Aespa, and LeSserafim. Talk about a tribute to all the fierce ladies who hustle hard in this industry!
