Popular singer IU, dubbed by many as the "the nation's little sister", will be making a special comeback through a single album and short film.

On May 11th, IU is scheduled to release a 3-track single album titled "A 20-year-old's Spring", with the first track set to be released on the 4th.

This single album will mark 6 months since the release of her last album, and will serve as a gift for her fans who have showered her with love. The promotional track will be extra special in that it will be a self-composed song by IU herself.

Coinciding with her musical release will be a short film, also titled "A 20-year-old's Spring". Unlike an ordinary music video, this short film will give fans an insight into IU's personal, as well as, musical life. It will mark IU's coming-of-age as she turns 20, and will explore the 4-year journey since her debut.

A representative from IU's management company Loen Entertainment explained, "Instead of the usual style of comeback song, IU's third single album will serve as a complement to the story and emotion of the short film. Please look forward to this special and  release."



In related news, the promotional single will be released on the 4th, approximately one week ahead of the full single release on the 11th.
