IU's live performances have always been remarkable, but one moment, captured in her documentary about The Golden Hour concert at Jamsil Olympic Stadium, left an indelible mark on fans.
In the documentary, IU opened up about a personal challenge that she faced during the concert, making the performance even more poignant.
The Golden Hour concert, which took place at the iconic Jamsil Olympic Stadium, was a star-studded affair, further cementing IU's status as a beloved figure in the industry. Celebrities like BTS’s Jungkook (who attended twice) and j-hope, TXT’s Soobin and Beomgyu, TWICE’s Nayeon, Jihyo, and Jeongyeon, and members of THE BOYZ were all in attendance, showing their support. A particularly touching moment was IU's heartwarming reunion with her former co-star, Lee Joon Gi.
Despite the grandeur of the event, it was IU's personal revelation that struck a chord with her fans. During the concert, IU admitted that she was feeling anxious about performing because of a health issue she had been struggling with. In the documentary, she revealed that she had been diagnosed with Patulous Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, a condition that had been affecting her for about a year.
Despite this challenge, IU’s vocal performance was nothing short of breathtaking, leaving her fans—affectionately known as Uaenas—deeply moved. Her ability to deliver such a powerful performance while dealing with a personal struggle showcased her resilience and dedication to her craft.
This candid moment in the documentary highlights IU's vulnerability and strength, qualities that make her connection with her fans so special. Even in difficult times, IU's love for music and her fans shines through, offering comfort and inspiration to Uaenas everywhere.
Her story serves as a beautiful reminder of the power of perseverance, and we look forward to seeing more heartwarming moments from IU in the future!
