Is the IU world tour going to happen soon?! It’s been a while since IU has been active as a K-pop soloist. She had been busy with her acting career, and now, Lee Ji Eun gave a hint about going global next year. Will 2024 be the year of her first-ever world tour? Let’s check out what made fans go wild and their reactions, too.
The Possible IU World Tour Already Excites Fans
It’s definitely a jam-packed schedule for IU. Last year, she worked with Park Seo Joon in a film, Dream. Recently, she finished filming her upcoming Netflix K-drama, You Have Done Well, which premieres in 2024. IU also confirmed her preparation for her next album, and a collaboration track with BTS V has kept fans on the edge of their seats. The music video is to watch out for, too!

Despite all of these projects, IU makes sure to stay connected with her fans via YouTube — specifically her IU TV content. In the latest IU TV video she posted about a day ago, the K-pop soloist shared behind-the-scenes of her commercial filming and shared her thoughts about her current projects. IU has two commercials to film, and possible plans for 2024, AKA hints for the IU world tour.

One of her crew asked her about IU’s plans next year, and she simply answered, “Once it becomes January, I’ll go abroad.” This short response earned many expectant reactions from Ji Eun’s fans all over the world. Hopefully, this means a world tour, as we are nothing but excited for her to go around the globe to visit and meet UAENAs.
UAENAs Share Their Thoughts On X
People sure are in high hopes for the IU world tour to happen next year. As the soloist-actress shared about going abroad, she also mentioned that she won’t be in Korea for most of the year, which strengthens the world tour agenda of fans.

It wouldn’t be a hint without the fans’ theories. So a UAENA took it upon themselves to check and send out the possibilities of the reason behind IU going globally. With all the spoilers in the IU TV video, we’re pretty sure more theories are bound to be shared!
seanna theories after watching this vid:
-IU WORLD TOUR…!!!!!????!!!! (she said she mostly won’t be in kr in 2024)
-her mv might be traditional korean style (bc she said spoiler is 얼, & is a style she hasn’t tried before)
-title song mv will be filmed abroad https://t.co/r2VsypPX3m— SEANNA TV • 셔나 티비 (@seannatv) December 25, 2023
IU's last concert tour, Love, Poem, only lasted for two months, with ten venues (4 of which are in Korea). So if she will spend most of 2024 doing concerts, will it be a proper WORLD tour?
