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.
