IU surpasses IU… 100,000 people in two days of concert, ‘new record’

IU's only competitor was IU.

Singer IU held a solo concert for two days from the 21st to the 22nd at the Seoul World Cup Stadium in Mapo-gu, Seoul, becoming the first female singer to mobilize an audience of 50,000 people per concert and a total of 100,000 people. With this, IU broke her own record of 88,000 people attending her "The Golden Hour: Under the Orange Sun" concert held at the Olympic Stadium in Jamsil, Seoul in September 2022. At the same time, she is the only female singer to have held concerts at both the Seoul World Cup Stadium and the Olympic Stadium. Previously, Seo Taiji was the only singer to have held solo concerts in both venues. IU also made history by holding her 100th solo concert.

This '2024 IU Her World Tour Encore: The Winning' concert is the finale of the world tour for the mini-album 'The Winning' released in February of this year, and the starting point for another leap forward in celebration of the 16th anniversary of her debut. In her first world tour, she performed a total of 31 times in 18 cities in 12 countries, meeting an audience of 500,000 people. In particular, she proved that she has risen to the ranks of a world star beyond Asia by gathering an audience of 100,000 in North America and Europe, where she performed for the first time.
