IU‘s world tour concert became the talk of the town not just for her mesmerizing performance but also for the celebrities who graced the event, both as guest performers and audience members.
On the 2nd, IU’s solo concert at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena (KSPO DOME) featured NewJeans as the guest performer. This marked IU’s first solo concert in about a year and a half since “The Golden Hour: Under the Orange Sun.”

With tickets sold out, NewJeans’ appearance was a hot topic. The group performed their hit song “Ditto” among others, charmingly urging the crowd, “IU’s new song is out. Please give it lots of love.” Donning winged stage outfits, NewJeans later expressed their gratitude on their official account, “Thank you very much to IU and all the audience members who came to the H.E.R concert for giving us such a warm and special day full of learning and unforgettable memories!”
The celebrity audience was just as buzzworthy. From sightings of IU’s boyfriend, Lee Jong Suk, to the Pinggyego duo Yang Se Chan and Yoo Jae Suk, Park Eun Bin, Tang Wei, Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Joon Gi, Yoo In Na, Yeo Jin Goo, Oh Na Ra, Zico, EXO’s D.O., aespa’s Winter, Kang Mina, Choi Yoojung, Jung Chaeyeon, and more were spotted enjoying the show so far.
Lee Jong Suk was seen donning a gray hat and checkered shirt, tightly holding an IU light stick, reaffirming their relationship which they confirmed in December 2022. Yoo Jae Suk and Yang Se Chan, who visited the concert in suits, were also seen sitting next to Park Myung Soo, who IU connected during her Infinite Challenge appearance.
RIIZE was the guest performer for the concert on the 3rd.
Following the initial Seoul performance, IU’s concert series continues with shows on the 3rd, 9th, and 10th at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena. The world tour will take her to numerous cities across the globe, including Yokohama, Taipei, Singapore, Jakarta, Hong Kong, London, Berlin, Atlanta, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles, promising a string of unforgettable nights.
