In the heart of the South Korean entertainment scene, IU is one of the names that reigns supreme. Following her unforgettable 'Love, Poem' tour in 2019, IU is set to grace Philippine shores once more as PULP Live World proudly presents the 2024 IU 'H.E.R' world tour in Manila (Bulacan), scheduled for June 1, 2024, at the Philippine Arena.

Consistently pushing the boundaries of music and performance, IU stands as a true innovator whose influence knows no bounds. With her heartfelt vocals and meaningful lyrics, IU has amassed a dedicated global following, captivating audiences worldwide since her debut in 2008. IU emerged as a rising star with her debut single, "Lost Child," which paved the way for her debut mini-album 'Lost and Found' released the same year. 

Since then, IU has continued to captivate audiences with one hit after another, solidifying her status as a musical powerhouse. In 2010, IU's chart-topping single "Good Day" achieved remarkable success, earning the number one spot on Billboard Magazine’s "100 Greatest K-POP Songs of the 2010s" list. Her talent was further recognized at the 2012 Korean Music Awards, where she received both the "Best Korean Pop Song" and "Song of the Year" awards for "Good Day." 

In 2017, IU showcased her versatility as an artist by serving as the primary lyricist and executive producer for her fourth studio album, 'Palette,' which received widespread critical acclaim and earned numerous accolades, including the "Best Pop Album" award at the 15th Korean Music Awards. In 2021, IU continued her streak of commercial success with the release of 'Lilac,' dominating the Gaon Album Chart. 

Now, IU marks her return to the music scene with her highly anticipated sixth mini-album 'The Winning' released on February 20, 2024, IU once again proves her prowess as an artist. Featuring tracks like "Shopper," accompanied by a visually captivating music video that has already garnered millions of views, and "Love Wins All," which has consistently topped charts across major South Korean and global music streaming platforms, IU continues to captivate audiences with her unparalleled talent and creativity.

Beyond her musical achievements, IU has also made a significant impact in the world of acting with roles in numerous Korean dramas and films. Her performances have further solidified her reputation as a multifaceted artist with notable appearances in dramas, such as 'Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo' (2016) and 'Hotel Del Luna' (2019), where she also contributed to the official soundtrack with the song "Our Happy Ending." 

The 2024 IU 'H.E.R.' world tour concert, commencing in Seoul, South Korea, on March 2, 2024, heralds IU's triumphant return to the global stage. The Philippine stop holds special significance as IU prepares to grace the Philippine Arena stage, marking her as the first Korean soloist to headline a concert at this illustrious venue. PH UAENA, having eagerly awaited her return since her last visit in 2019, can anticipate a night of unparalleled magic and musical splendor. The 2024 IU 'H.E.R' in Manila (Bulacan) on June 1, 2024 at the Philippine Arena is a reunion years in the making, celebrating IU's unparalleled talent and the unwavering support of her dedicated UAENA.

Philippine Arena is the largest indoor stadium in the world (iirc), so being the first solo artist to do this means A LOT! Plus, the fact the the tickets are reasonably priced despite being such a high-profile artist. I'm pretty much confident this will be another legendary moment for IU. Congratulations!
