With the release of her 3rd mini album "REAL" in December of last year, IU received much praise from critics and the public, and her title song "Good Day" placed #1 on the Melon, Dosirak, and Cyworld music charts.

She also went on to solidify her position as top female soloist by placing first for 3 weeks on both KBS Music Bank and SBS Inkigayo, and for 2 weeks on Mnet M Countdown.

IU recently made her debut as an actress on the KBS drama "Dream High" where she’s been receiving positive responses to her role as Pil Sook.

IU’s company LOEN Entertainment stated that “Because the schedules for 'Good Day' promotions and 'Dream High' were conflicting, for the sake of IU’s health, we have come to this decision,” and “though we wish to show more of her singing, we feel it more important to showcase her in good health, and so we ask for the fans’ understanding.”

For now, IU will be focusing solely on acting for the KBS drama "Dream High".
