With the rise of K-culture appreciation in the Philippines over the years, it’s not a surprise that IU has an established Filipino fanbase. MAAENAs’ anticipation of the soloist’s return is amplified, as her concert in 2024 will be one for the books. IU is set to be the first female K-pop artist to hold a show in the Philippine Arena. A solo concert at the world’s largest indoor stadium that can accommodate up to 55,000 people? Truly a queen behavior!
IU will kickstart the 2024 IU H.E.R. World Tour Concert with back-to-back shows in the KSPO Dome in Seoul on March 2–3 and 9–10. Following that, she will be performing 25 shows in 17 cities across Asia, the USA, and Europe. This will be a great opportunity for the singer and fans alike to meet again after the pandemic.
Love, Poem in Manila in December 2019 was the last time that IU had a concert in the Philippines. This makes June 1, 2024, the long-awaited reunion between IU and her Filipino fans. More than four years of waiting is no match, especially with the concert taking place in a much bigger venue.
Meanwhile, local event organizer PULP Live World’s official Facebook page shared the announcement post.
