It has been reported that singer IU was recently hospitalized, and there have been rumors swirling around as to the reason for hospitalization.

On the evening of February 28th, a rumor spread on various social networking sites and internet community that IU had fainted�due to exhaustion from overwork, and that she had been hospitalized. Fan anxiety deepened when it was announced that her scheduled appearance at the opening ceremonies for the Incheon Culture and Art College on the 29th was cancelled.

However, a representative of LOEN Entertainment, IU's agency, cleared up the rumors on the same day, saying, "Her condition wasn't good, and she was showing symptoms of a cold so she did go to the hospital, but she was not hospitalized. It isn't bad enough to cause worry."

IU is still planning on attending the 'Korean Pop Music Awards Ceremony'�as scheduled, which is to be held on the evening of the 29th at Live House AX-Korea.
