The meaning behind IU's stage name unraveled

Posted by leesa8622 pts Friday, September 14, 2012



The meaning behind IU's name has been revealed.

A tvN news program recently revealed a list of the celebrities who rose to fame after debuting with a stage name.

Singer IU ranked at #7 on that list, and scholar Lee Soo Bong remarked, "Lee Ji Eun (IU's birth name) is very common, and is not enough to appeal to the masses. This is a good case for a name change."

IU's stage name means "I" and "You (U)", meaning 'You and I', and Lee Soo Bong remarked that compared to her birth name, 'IU' is a kind of name that brings more fortune of good friends and good help.

Netizens who learned the meaning behind IU's name for the first time remarked, "Is her success really due to her name change?", "She probably would have been popular if she debuted with her stage name," and "I want to analyze my name too!"
