I blamed the producer a little then for not guiding me on what to do and asking so much of me from the start, but after my concert this time, I thought to myself, “Thank you for raising me to be strong” and contacted the producer separately too. From gathering concert audience, to maintaining my condition, putting things in action, to ensuring that the tension stays up during my concert each week instead of weakening, I was at a loss about everything and felt scared. I did a nationwide tour for my first concert. IU: I don’t remember it vividly, but of course I still remember it. Q: Your first solo concert in 2012 was ‘Real Fantasy’ right? Do you still remember what your first concert was like? The fans who come for my concerts will clearly know what I mean. It’s difficult to replace a concert with another event. IU: It’s a celebration party with my fans after a year of farming. What does it mean to you to be able to have face-to-face concerts with your fans? Q: Other than 20 when Covid-19 was severe, you’ve been putting on solo concerts every year since 2012. I wonder if I’ll be able to infuse such ideas in my music in future. I get stressed when something falls out of place too. ![]() I’m gradually starting to realise that I’m someone who lives with many rules in my daily life. I’m hooked on ‘patterns’ and ‘rules’ these days. I’m also the type to stick my flag (TL note: stake my claim) on mainly themes I’m good at writing and can hang on to for a long time. (But when I work on my full-length albums with more tracks, I’m clearly going to cling on reluctantly again.) Nowadays, there are many artists that write lyrics by themselves that have character. It’s like, ‘The words to remain shall remain, or else just forget them.’ It’s been awhile since the days when I tried hard to cling on to thoughts that are worth becoming items. I still write in my diary, but I’m not as obsessive about writing in it anymore. IU: I’ve actually been making fewer notes than before. How do you convert your daily experiences into music? Do you observe or make notes or think on the flip side? I think the way you tell stories through your music and the unique way you express yourself through your lyrics is an example of that. I think artists need to have the ability to not bypass little experiences in their lives or miss out on the opposite side of the lives they have become accustomed to and turn that into art. The mother of the creative director, Alessandro Michele, is a twin so it came from his own personal experiences. Q: During the ‘Twinsburg’ collection this time, 68 pairs of twins appeared on stage. I like overalls and this season, there were overalls! I wonder if they have it in my size? I got excited. Whether visually or symbolically, it was an interesting performance. The twin models who were walking on their side of the stage met in the middle and held hands as they walked. Then in the middle of the show, a partition wall in the centre of the stage was lifted and I realised that it was like a decalcomanie and there was another show on the other side. ![]() IU: The moment I entered, I felt that the showcase venue was small and cosy. Was there anything memorable for you about the collection? Any look or item that you liked? Q: You attended the 2023 S/S Milan collection show as Gucci’s global ambassador.
