This is her first music release in about a year and five months since her repackaged album, 'A Flower Bookmark,' but she won't be seen on broadcasts.

Loen Tree stated on October 19, "We're focusing on offline performances for the promotion of IU's fourth mini-album.  Since the early stages of her album production, her focus was on meeting her fans through good stages," revealing that she wanted to get up close and personal with her fans rather than stay behind a screen.  This explains her upcoming concert series!

Meanwhile, 'CHAT-SHIRE' will be out on the 23rd!
