IU is set to make her return as a singer this month, with actor and K-pop star Cha Eun-woo making a special appearance in her upcoming music video.
“IU is preparing for a comeback in May, and Cha Eun-woo will appear as a cameo,” her agency EDAM Entertainment said Monday.
The release will mark IU’s first new music since “The Winning,” which dropped in February 2024, drawing attention to her long-awaited return after a 15-month hiatus from her singing career.
IU recently received praise for her acting in the Netflix series “When Life Gives You Tangerines,” which ended its run on March 28. Playing dual roles as Ae-sun and Geum-myeong, she was lauded for her versatile performance and strong emotional range.
She is also set to appear in the upcoming MBC drama tentatively titled “The 21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife,” scheduled to air in 2026, alongside actor Byeon Woo-seok.
With her continued success as both a singer and actress, anticipation is growing for IU’s next musical chapter. Her collaboration with Cha Eun-woo has already sparked buzz online, especially as the two previously drew attention with a pictorial for a jewelry brand.
Fans around the world are eager to see the chemistry between the two stars play out in the new music video, which promises a compelling blend of visuals and storytelling.
