IU Shares Unexpected Experience Attending TWICE and EXO D.O. Concerts

IU is facing chatter after sharing a behind-the-scenes story about attending other artists’ concerts.
The controversy started on the 14th when IU appeared on the web variety show Salon Drip with actors Byun Woo-seok and Yoo Ah-in.
IU revealed she doesn’t just watch concerts casually. Instead, she follows strict personal rules while attending.
She said,
“If I attend a concert, I always download the artist’s songs and listen repeatedly a few days beforehand.”
“I try not to record the concert. If I do, it’s just a short video, nothing that could make a fuss.”
The situation gained attention because fans felt IU was calling out some behavior at concerts without naming names.
Soon after, many debated whether IU’s comments were judgmental or just personal preference.
IU added,
“I tend to pay respect to the artist’s efforts by focusing fully on their stage.”
The conversation keeps growing as fellow artists and fans discuss concert etiquette.
No official statements from IU’s agency yet. The incident is still making rounds online.
