On March 23, “IU Modern Times Showcase Hong Kong” was held successfully at Kowloonbay International Trade and Exhibition Centre (KITEC) Hong Kong, organised by Secret Garden Entertainment and LOEN.



IU performed her first showcase in Hong Kong successfully. She had been preparing very hard in hope to give her very best to all of her fans in Hong Kong.



For this showcase, IU had prepared twelve songs including two encores. IU’s popular songs such as The Red Shoes, You & I, Between the Lips, Modern Times, Marshmallow, You Know, Only I didn’t Know, Rain Drop and Good Day were included in the performance.



Worth to be mentioned, IU performed a Mandarin song recommended by her friend called “Proud of You” by Joey Yung and this had successfully surprised all her fans. Besides, IU said that she decided to sing “Proud of You” instead of “Tien Mi Mi” because she thought that “Tien Mi Mi” is quite a common song performed by many foreign artists.



Later on, the audiences requested IU to sing “Friday”. Although IU did not prepare that song for this showcase, she managed to pull it off by singing in acapella which amazed all of her fans. During the showcase, IU said that she like Hong Kong food because it is delicious. Moreover, she was astonished to see so many fans in the Hong Kong airport which she never expects it to happen.



After the encore, IU mentioned that most artists might cry in the end of their showcase but she will not because IU believed that she is strong.



Lastly during the interview session after the show, IU mentioned that there were few imperfections in her performances and will want to do better in the future. IU also promised to work harder after returning to Korea and hope to perform again in Hong Kong very soon.
