IU releases teaser for new song 'From This Star'... First release after Lee Jong-suk's breakup

IU released the music video teaser for the new song ″From This Star″ on the 9th through official YouTube and SNS channels. This new digital single, the first release in about a year since ″Bye, Summer″ on September 10 last year, is scheduled to be released at 6 p.m. on the 10th, with the full music video to be unveiled at midnight on the 16th. The released teaser video is set against the backdrop of a fictional video chat service called ″PLANET.″ In the video, IU and Chilean actor Jorge López Astorga face each other through the screen from different locations. The two communicate in various ways beyond the language barrier, gradually growing closer. At the end of the video, a line from the new song, ″Do you remember the moment love began,″ is revealed for the first time. In this teaser, IU appears with a short bob hairstyle. There is also a scene where they open a sketchbook and exchange something with the other person. Toward the end of the video, their connection suddenly cuts off, creating a mysterious atmosphere. The new song’s title, ″From This Star,″ can also be read as ″From Separation″ depending on the spacing, which has attracted attention since its release. This song is IU’s first new release since breaking up with Lee Jong-suk. However, it has not been confirmed whether the song’s content is actually related to romance or breakup based on the teaser alone. Jorge López is an actor who appeared in the Disney series ″Soy Luna″ and Netflix’s ″Élite,″ and he shared a special chemistry with IU in this music video. IU previously revealed a new hairstyle through concept photos of the new song on the 7th.
