IU is indeed having new experiences on this tour, as it’s her first time performing concerts in the United States. As the U.S. is quite big, she was scheduled to fly from city to city for the concerts. Unfortunately, her flight from Atlanta, GA, to Washington, D.C., got canceled.

IU nearly missed her own concert at Capital One Arena. However, she was dedicated to getting there on time, so she drove 10 hours with the help of a driver.
IU speaking English was one of the reasons I really wanted to watch in DC. Rich girl English!!!! 😍
The IT outage cancelled her flight from Atlanta so she had to travel 10 hours by bus! 🥹#IU #아이유 #HEREH #IU_WORLD_TOUR #HEREH_WORLD_TOUR_IN_USA #HEREH_WORLD_TOUR_IN_USA_DC pic.twitter.com/f8j3uIX32L

Netizens were impressed by IU’s dedication to traveling that distance for fans. Others also were empathetic, having driven for the concert too.
We’re so glad IU was able to make it in time!
