IU, “Sometimes, the Sudden Popularity is Burdening“

IU expressed her feelings about her sudden increase in popularity.

She came out on Sketchbook on the 11th and said "When I couldn't control myself, a fan nearing 50 years in age made me snap back into reality with his supporting message."

She said "I was loved all of a sudden with 'Good Day.' I was really happy. I was nice to everyone during those days but with 'Story Only I Didn't Know,' I became dark because the song itself was dark."

"I couldn't control myself because I had so little sleep. When I was lost, a text message from an uncle fan gave me strength."

IU said "When I first came out on 'Sketchbook,' there was nothing for me to do so it was hard. Then I got lots of work and I thought that if I whined about the workload, that would be even worse."

She recently got a lot of problems to think about. She said "The attention directed towards me grew, but I couldn't act accordingly. Sometimes, the popularity is awkward, burdening, and I'm scared by it."
