A singer, songwriter, actress, and philanthropist—IU is indeed *the* ~celebrity~ of all celebrities. And to celebrate her 15th year in the industry, SM Cinema has partnered with Trafalgar Releasing to bring “IU CONCERT: The Golden Hour” on the big screen! Experience this special cinematic cut with immersive surround sound as you watch performances from her two-day sold-out concert at the Olympic Main Stadium in Seoul.
Excited for it? We are, too! Here’s everything you can expect when you watch “IU CONCERT: The Golden Hour” at SM Cinema:
Be mesmerized by the large-scale production.
Last September 17 and 18, 2022, IU went all out with her first live event after three years which, TBH, set every fan’s concert standards. There was even a drone show and fireworks display all *through the night*!

Witness IU singing “Strawberry Moon” while in a hot-air balloon—designed like a strawberry moon!
Did you know that she came up with this heartwarming idea because she wanted to get closer to Uaenas who are seated far from the stage? IU really said I love my fans so much and I care for them. Best girl ever!
See her stunning concert outfits.

The Olympic Main Stadium is every K-pop star’s dream venue since it’s one of the largest in South Korea. IU was able to sell out over 80,000 seats for the two-day concert and ICYDK, it was a star-studded show!
Sing along to her top-charting songs.
