The success of IU's Japanese promotions?
Updates: New Japanese single in July, full-length Japanese album in later half of 2012.
Singer IU has come a long way. Since the summer of 2010, through her popularity on variety shows as well as her singing skills, she has become a hot trend in the music industry. Unhindered by the flood of girl groups, she has secured a position for herself, taking a different path from that of the girl groups. Unlike other celebrities who spread their activities worldwide, IU was active only within Korea. In March this year, she took her first step towards Japan.
