KatKat09 said: awww poor IU..wisdom tooth extraction is really bothersome. had mine extracted a few years back because it was impacted, meaning instead of growing upright like normal teeth, it's lying sideway the gum. I remember the dentist was struggling to get it out lol. Lucky are those people who's wisdom teeth are normal

IU the 'Icon of Savior'
Article: 'The Icon of Savior' Catch IU

Source: Newsis via Naver

Article talks about how IU has surpassed the title of 'icon of duet' and is now the icon of savior with her ability to 'save' or shoot to fame anyone she works with, the most recent example being Seo Taiji and 'Sogyeokdong'. Everyone she's worked with this year including High 4 and Yoon Hyun Sang have been met with remarkable success thanks to her effect. 

1. [+4,828, -278] IU's the perfect example of why an idol needs to be a good singer. Fans who only liked her for her face all left after her Eunhyuk scandal and IU was actually able to turn that scandal into an advantage by shedding her little sister image and focusing entirely on her music to get acknowledgement from the public. Her self composed songs like Peach and See You On Friday all became hits and she's now a singer who matches the title artist more than idol. So many veteran musicians look to collaborate with her. Idols who can't sing need to watch IU and reflect over themselves.

2. [+3,236, -187] The article's right, she's an icon of everything...

3. [+2,963, -155] It just means IU's that far ahead when it comes to getting the public's interest

4. [+2,714, -156] IU really seems amazing

5. [+345, -26] I think her success lies in her agency not trying to grab easy money with her. There are a lot of talented idols but their agency only focuses on making quick cash out of them and overworking them in the end which exhausts their image to consumers. They never have any time to slowly build up on their talents. Same case for AkMu with YG. They're doing fine because YG isn't using any money gimmicks with them.

6. [+294, -23] Anyone she duets or features for is pretty much a guaranteed chart sweep with #1 on music shows ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's amazing how she meshes well with seniors and juniors and rookies. 

7. [+293, -27] There's really nothing you can criticize her on when it comes to her singing

8. [+245, -12] IU's not one of those stars who shine briefly before disappearing. She's a real singer who I hope lets us listen to her music for a long time to come.

Former “K-pop Star” contestant Yoon Hyun Sang has released teaser images for the song “When Could I?” (tentative title), which will feature solo star IU. The song is taken from Yoon Hyun Sang’s debut album release “Pianoforte,” which is slated to drop on October 31.

In the photos, IU is pictured sitting in an idyllic forest setting, with extremely long hair. It is a scene that is reminiscent of the fairy tale story “Rapunzel.” Yoon Hyun Sang, meanwhile, is pictured playing the piano in an equally enchanted setting, a room where a tree grows by the side of his piano and sunlight appears to stream in through a hole in the roof.

The “K-Pop Star” contestant signed a contract with talent agency Leon Entertainment earlier this year, the same agency that represents IU.

A spokesperson from Leon Entertainment said, “The two singers worked well together. It was even better than we had expected, and the song came together very well indeed.”

Sung Gu also shared that he appeared as an extra for over 100 times before he debuted as he dreamed of becoming a singer. MC So Jin commented, “It seems like Sung Gu really worked hard in his life. I hope that he becomes successful as High4,” bringing warm atmosphere to the set.

[Guest 9jill9]

I take a breather from work and stopped by Soompi and what do I find!?!   The pictures are gorgeous!  I think I'll watch it at least once just for the visual.  
I'm anticipating this duet even more than the one with STJ!
Anyways, MAMA award voting is going on right now and IU is up for 4 (?) different categories.  
Copy and pasted from IU official fansite facebook page -

OMG.....that teaser gave me goosebumps and butterfly flutters....the strength, power and purity of IU's voice is WOW!!!.....their voices together YHS and IU make a harmony straight from the Heavens.
MY prediction: this will be the standout collaboration/duet of the 2014/2015 year......nomu nomu jeonmal nomu AWESOMENESS!
It is wonderful to see and read all the positive articles coming out about IU....finally all her hard work is paying off.  She has stamped her mark as a true Artist of the singer/songwriter kind.  Her many collaborations with others ranging from legends to rookies have helped grow and strengthen her support base, plus all her appearances at concerts this year has brought her closer to the KPublic. 
I must admit when I saw Kim Gura interviewing SeoTaichi who was singing IU's praises saying she is a National treasure etc....I thought YES! take that .....look at her now she is bigger, better and stronger than any female artist....and you can't touch her no matter how hard you try to take her down...take that Kim Gura!..kekeke!
MV roll on, I'm very excited for this too.
Have a great week chingudeul.
