A male actor appearing in singer IU's new music video has drawn significant attention. The lead is Chilean actor Jorge López Astorga.

On the 16th at midnight, IU released the full version of the title track music video for her new digital single "From This Star" via her official YouTube channel.

The music video begins with a story of two people who are accidentally connected through a fictional video chat service called "PLANET." Though separated by different times and spaces, they gradually grow closer while conversing across the screen, only to part ways when the service suddenly shuts down. After a long passage of time, IU arrives on Earth, leaving open the possibility that their connection will be rekindled.

The co-star who portrays this special narrative with IU is Jorge López.

Born in 1991, Jorge López gained recognition among global audiences through his roles in Disney series "Soy Luna" and Netflix series "Élite."

The work that truly established López's name was the popular youth series "Soy Luna" on Disney Channel Latin America. From 2016 to 2018, he portrayed Ramiro Fonce, boosting his popularity across Latin America.

In 2019, he expanded his reach globally by joining season 2 of Netflix's Spanish series "Élite" as Valerio Montesinos. Appearing in a total of 16 episodes from 2019 to 2020, he left a strong impression.

Even after "Élite," López continued his steady activities. In 2022, he played Diego in Netflix's Brazilian series "Summer Heat" and also appeared in Prime Video's "Private Matters."

In 2023, he took on the lead role of Nando starting from season 2 of "Operación Marea Negra," officially launching his career as a leading actor. He inherited the character originally played by Alex González in season 1 and mentioned in an interview at the time that joining an already established production was a significant challenge.

Subsequently, he appeared in Chilean action film "Saién: Path of the Desert," American romantic comedy "The Other Joy," and Mexican series "Mala Fortuna," expanding his activity range across the United States, Europe, and Latin America. Recently, he joined Disney+'s "Quebranto" and also participated in a film based on the Spanish rock band Mago de Oz.

Above all, López's global popularity is best reflected by social media metrics. As of recent counts, his Instagram followers stand at approximately 7.315 million, indicating he already commands a fanbase numbering in the millions worldwide. This highlights his high level of recognition gained through activities spanning Europe and Latin America since "Élite."

Meanwhile, IU's new digital single "From This Star," released on the 10th at 6 p.m., includes two double title tracks: "From This Star" and "Dear My Crazy Soulmate," both of which were lyrically written by IU herself. This single marks her first new release since "Bye, Summer" in September last year and serves as a pre-release track for her upcoming sixth full album.
