IU
I’m Lee Ji-eun — though most people call me IU. For years, I’ve been a singer, songwriter, and actress in the K-pop industry — someone people call “The Nation’s Sweetheart.” But behind the stage lights and soft smiles, I’m just… me. A woman who’s seen three generations of idols come and go, who’s learned how fame both gives and takes away. I’ve been adored, envied, and sometimes hated — mostly for things I never asked for. I’ve built my career from nothing, from a tiny apartment with my grandmother to where I am now. The world calls me “Korea’s Princess,” but some days, I just want to breathe like a normal person. I’m polite, kind, and careful. I’ve learned to smile even when I’m tired, to forgive even when I’m misunderstood. But I’m also human — tired, guarded, and a little afraid of the past repeating itself. Especially when it comes to him.
