[TRANS] 190302 ‘IU with Ghana’ Fan Meeting - Important Talk Compilation

IU: It’s been a while since I last greeted all of you right? Did you all miss me? (YESSS) I think the weather has gotten a lot warmer~ I came lightheartedly and dressed prettily in spring outfit with big earrings and applied the trendiest lipstick color to meet y’all today. This venue gives off familiar vibes of the small-theatre concert that we had years ago. I also came with my mint microphone to match with the spring vibes, so I thought it’d be great if Ghana could release mint flavoured chocolate too. I think it’s gonna sell like hotcakes, don’t you think so? Who wants mint Ghana chocolate? (MEEEEE!!!!!!) Well I’m sure some of you don’t fancy the flavour, but if Ghana were to release it, I would do my best to promote it! As one of the loyal consumers, I could say that Ghana’s my soul food, so I hope to keep endorsing this if I’m ever given the chance to. My love for Ghana is quite obvious to be honest, you can definitely tell that I look a bit more excited in Ghana’s CFs as compared to the others. I was so happy upon receiving the offer from Ghana, you can say that i’m a successful fan! So I have a lot of affection for it, and i’m sure some of you feel the same way as I do too. Do you love Ghana? (YESSSS) Now, I’ll perform another song before we proceed to the next session, which is Palette. I bet this will be my last chance to perform ‘Palette’ before I officially turn 26 (internationally).

IU: How did y’all get to attend this event?

Uaenas: Lottery-based system! The more you purchase, the higher chances you’d get.

IU: But I’m sure there are people who just genuinely like Ghana chocolate and got chosen right?

Guy: Yea, that’s me

IU: It’s okay, I’ll just turn you into my fan through this event today~

Uaenas: /cheers/

Q&A SESSION

Q1. Unnie, can you please reveal your account number by ‘mistake’…?

IU: You want me to reveal my account number…? What do you want to send me 😂 As much as I want to, I honestly can’t remember my account number, so I’ll just accept your heart today.

Q2. What’s the song that you’re into these days?

IU: Actually, I’ve been working on (composing) lots of songs these days. Nowadays, I’ve been listening to songs by Still Woozy, who’s a foreign artist and umm…. never mind, I don’t think you guys would know them as you can tell by now that I have weird music taste. But my fans have diverse music taste, so I really want to recommend a good song for them.

Uaena: Tell us about your new song!

IU: My new song is really good. (*cheers*) I think the album will turn out to be really amazing! No doubt my fans are curious about this so I’ll talk a bit about it. I’m working on a new album, well not really new since I’ve mentioned before at my concert that it’s been modified and revised for many times (just like BBIBBI), basically the ‘tone’ itself has changed.

*IU said she initially wanted to write a song to show her gratitude towards Uaenas, but ‘BBIBBI’ eventually digressed quite a bit from that and turned into a warning song instead, a song about what makes a good relationship between people.

IU: I’ve added a few things so I was worried, but it turned out better than I expected. I think the only thing left is for me to do well for my part. I think I’m highly satisfied with the songs and I think the album will turn out to be something I’m satisfied with too. You guys know I don’t really talk about things like this right? I tend to keep it to myself when it comes to stuff like this but I think you guys can really look forward to my new album!

Q3. Your favourite Ghana chocolate?

IU: For me, it’s the milk chocolate. But these days when i’m bored, I chew on some caramel chocolate too, it’s yummy!

Q4. Jieunie noona, I lost my wallet today. Perhaps can you sing a song to cheer me up?

IU: How can you get back home without your wallet? Where’s your house, do you have a transportation card with you?

Uaena: I contacted my mom… (the fan is a middle-schooler)

IU: Oh no.. you must have had you student ID and cash in it…is it?

Uaena: 3000 won

IU: Oh…you would have been able to buy two Ghana chocolates with that 3000 won, but it’s okay I’ll give you two of it instead.

Q5. I’m a fan from Busan, my boyfriend is a Uaena too! What do you think of couple fans?

IU: I think they would be so happy! Though it’s something rare, but I think it’s great to be a ‘couple fans’! They can relate with each other and watch my concert together.

Uaena: We are planning to get married this year!

IU: I can sing a congratulatory song at your wedding then!

Q6. Jieun unnie, which of your many projects will be released first?

IU: Not sure if I can share this here but it’s probably the long awaited short film series ‘Persona’! The release date has finally been scheduled, but I can’t say anything for sure as the production team has their plans. I’ve been told that ‘Persona’ will be available on various great platforms in April. Please look forward to it.

Q7. Unnie, can we replicate the Uaena soundwave ring and wear it?

IU: For your information, I gave 2000 limited soundwave rings to my fans at a fan meeting in celebration of my 10th debut anniversary. I think the fan is referring to that but honestly haven’t you guys been doing that (replicating the ring) for awhile now? 😂 Our staff have seen lots of people wearing it and asked whether they were Uaenas (who attended the FM) but the fans told them it’s the replicated version. But how did you guys replicate it exactly like the original version? Is it possible?

Q8. What’s the movie of your life?

IU: It’s among the recent movies that I’ve watched. Not too recent, but I watched a movie called ‘The World Of Us’ during the end of last year. It’s a story about kids and there was a great line that really hit me at the end of the movie. Can I spoil the movie? A young boy kept getting bullied by the kids and his older sister was like “didn’t I tell you not to play with them? So what did you do next?” and the boy replied that he just continued to play with them. So his sister got so mad and asked him why didn’t he fight back but the boy replied “if we kept fighting back & forth, when will we ever get to play together?” The line hit me so hard because it was that great to me! It’s a healing movie.
