ITZY Is A Guest Performer At IU’s “The Golden Hour” Concert — Fans Are Loving Their Friendship
IU is currently holding her long-awaited concert, The Golden Hour, at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul, Korea. Although 85,000 fans are attending the concert, given IU’s immense popularity, fans were worried about securing tickets, prompting IU to give them a unique trick that worked for her.
Of course, the concert is well worth the wait, as IU has put extensive preparation into her show, even sharing that she hasn’t practiced for something this much since she was a trainee.
The talented singer even went so far as to practice without hearing the music, just in case her fans’ enthusiastic cheers drowned out the sound while she was performing.
The concert itself is record-breaking, and other K-Pop idols who have been longtime fans of IU have even been worried about securing tickets themselves.One K-Pop group that is a well-known fan of IU is ITZY, who praised the soloist for her kind personality and the first impression she left on them.

Although it wouldn’t have been surprising if ITZY had attended IU’s concert, fans weren’t expecting IU to ask ITZY to be the surprise guest performer. But ITZY gave an incredible performance, showing their talents to the crowd’s supportive cheers.

And fans of IU and ITZY were touched to see the artists’ friendship as IU took the time to personalize letters and gifts for each member of ITZY as thanks.
Lia said on Bubble that IU prepared letters and gifts for each ITZY member. Lia said it made her think she wants to become an amazing person like IU who may not show it on the outside, but behind the scenes, she takes care of people well. She said she fell for IU once again.

Especially since ITZY had to adjust their schedule to be able to perform at her concert.
At the concert, IU said that initially ITZY had other schedules lined up for today (and so couldn't make it) but they shifted their schedules so they could come to guest at IU's concert, so IU expressed her gratitude to them. https://t.co/BQBz5qWupu

Fans are pointing out how endearing it is that IU asked ITZY to be the first guest performers at her concert, just like they were the first girl group guests on her show, IU’s Palette.

And some joked that ITZY’s lack of worry when IU’s tickets went on sale now makes perfect sense.
now it makes sense why itzy were so calm while other idols are panicking during the general selling of iu concert tickets because they are the guest KSSKKS PLS??!
