Finally! I'm back with doing feature entry about certain person inside my fandom world! It has been a while! But this artist isn't really new to my fandom, in fact I've known her since the early years of her acting career but she was kinda overpowered by Suzy before so I was not able to appreciate her as much. (Dream High days) But now is different! She has gained huge popularity all around the world not just as good looking, not just as a singer but as an actress as well. She's the real total package! I mean, all these traits and talents she has are above average! She's like the epitome of being a total entertainer/performer.
Anyway, I think it's all about timing. And this is the right time to appreciate her, this is the right time wherein I have so much to tell about her. It's not really a great feeling writing about something or someone that is out of your current interest, right? It's really draining, so the time back then was not right for me to write about her. But since I have rediscovered IU through the recent drama Hotel Del Luna, I've also rediscovered a new deeper appreciation towards her. And that would become my inspiration in creating this blog entry. So without further ado, let me start this precious things. I'm very much enthusiastic in writing this one.

(I could still remember how popular she became because of this song. As she continuously nailed the 3 octave notes every live performances. She was always the headliner!)
- She auditioned for JYP Entertainment but wast rejected. As years passed, Park Jin Young regretted this every time he sees IU.
