Despite suspending activities due to worsening symptoms of eustachian tube dysfunction, singer and actress IU has come forward to meet her fans.

According to CJ CGV on the 15th, the films "IU Concert: The Golden Hour" (hereinafter "The Golden Hour") and "IU Concert: The Winning" (hereinafter "The Winning") have confirmed lightstick screenings and stage greetings. "The Golden Hour" resumed screening on the 9th and is currently showing, while "The Winning" is set to resume screening on the 16th.

Accordingly, IU will mark her 18th debut anniversary in a more special way and preview diverse theater experiences for audiences.

First, the lightstick screening allows fans to wave IU's official lightstick "Light Stick" during the film and react freely as if at a real concert. Notably, song lyrics subtitles are provided during the screening, enabling audiences to sing along with IU's music and enjoy a more immersive viewing experience. At its initial release, the theater offered an experience akin to entering a concert venue, sparking explosive reactions from fans; thus, the upcoming lightstick screenings are expected to draw intense fan interest once again.

The lightstick screenings for "The Golden Hour" and "The Winning" will run for three days from September 18 to 20, coinciding with IU's debut date. All attendees will receive an unreleased photo card. The photo cards feature different visuals for each work, stimulating fans' collecting desires. Ticket reservations for the lightstick screenings are scheduled to open at 5 p.m. on the 15th of this month via CGV.

On the 20th, a stage greeting featuring IU's direct participation will be held at Seoul Yongsan-gu CGV Yongsan i-Park Mall. This stage greeting, spanning six sessions in total (two screenings of "The Golden Hour" and four screenings of "The Winning"), offers a touching moment for IU and her fandom, U-ae-na, to celebrate their 18th debut anniversary together in one place.

Additionally, various events designed to make the stage greeting more enjoyable have been planned, foreshadowing intense ticket reservation enthusiasm. Ticket reservations for the stage greeting are scheduled to open at 6 p.m. on the 15th (Tuesday) via CGV. For detailed information regarding the events, please check the CGV website, official app, and CGV ICECON's official SNS channels.

IU's first live performance film "The Golden Hour" and the final chapter of IU's first world tour, "The Winning," are works that bring the overwhelming scale of stage production and the emotional impact of rich live performances to the screen. They vividly recreate through theater systems once again the concert "The Golden Hour: Under the Orange Sun," held at the Olympic Stadium for the first time by a female Korean singer, and IU's first world tour and 100th concert, "HEREH ENCORE: THE WINNING."

Meanwhile, IU postponed concerts scheduled for September and the release of her sixth full-length album due to health issues. On July 20, she stated, "The Goyang Stadium concert originally planned for this September has ultimately become difficult to proceed. In fact, my chronic eustachian tube dysfunction symptoms have recently worsened." She further explained, "As previously mentioned, the main promotion for my new album, which will be my sixth full-length album, was centered around performances and tours. Since the album is inseparable from touring, I regretfully must delay its release date slightly."

Amid these developments, IU released a new single titled "From This Star" on the 10th, generating significant buzz.
