IU, teaser for 'From This Star' released... Lee Jong-suk's first new song after breakup to be released on the 10th

IU released the teaser for the music video of the new song ″From This Star″ on the 9th through the official YouTube channel and SNS. This new song is a digital single released about a year after ″Bye, Summer,″ which was released on September 10 last year, and is scheduled to be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 10th. The full music video will be unveiled at midnight on the 16th. The teaser video features a scene where strangers in different spaces connect through the fictional video chat service ″PLANET.″ The participants communicate and share their daily lives with each other across the screen, despite using different languages, gradually getting closer. Toward the end of the video, IU appears briefly having a conversation with Chilean actor Jorge Lopez through the screen. Jorge Lopez is an actor who has appeared in the Disney series ″Soy Luna″ and Netflix’s ″Elite.″ Especially at the end of the video, a line from the new song, ″Do you remember the moment love began,″ was revealed for the first time. Both this song and the included track ″Dear my crazy soulmate″ were written by IU personally. The two songs are known as the pre-release title tracks of the 6th full album. The title of the new song, ″From This Star,″ can also be read as ″From Separation″ depending on the spacing, which has attracted attention since its release. This new song is also the first released by IU after breaking up with actor Lee Jong-suk. IU and Lee Jong-suk met as MCs of SBS’s ″Inkigayo″ in 2012, developed into a couple in 2022, and publicly dated for four years before officially confirming their breakup on July 10. At that time, both agencies stated, ″It is true that the two have broken up,″ and ″They have decided to remain good colleagues.″ Through the concept photos for this new song, IU revealed a new atmosphere by transforming from long hair, which had been maintained for a long time, to a short bob. Recently, due to the worsening of Ménière’s disease, the concert scheduled for September and the release of the 6th full album were postponed.
