IU’s Stunning Live Vocals Have Fans Emotional At “The Golden Hour” Concert After She Reveals She Has A Hearing Disorder

IU recently held her concert The Golden Hour at the Jamsil Olympic Stadium in Seoul, and it was already proven to be a truly legendary experience-made even more so by the fact that IU revealed she suffers from a hearing condition, yet still blew everyone away with her vocals!

To begin with, there was not one outfit she wore that wasn’t absolutely stunning. From bright floral looks…

…to dark dresses that made her look like the queen she is, IU impressed in everything.

The Golden Hour was attended by so many celebrities that if there was ever any doubt about IU’s icon status in the industry, there certainly isn’t any now. The long list of her celebrity stans included BTS‘s Jungkook (who attended twice) and J-Hope, TXT‘s Soobin and Beomgyu, TWICE‘s Nayeon, Jihyo and Jeongyeon, and members of THE BOYZ, just to name a few. And of course, one can’t forget her former co-star Lee Joon Gi, with whom she had the most heartwarming reunion!

IU delivered a truly memorable show…

While Uaeneas have always been proud of IU’s flawless vocals, her reveal that she has a hearing condition has made everyone even more appreciative of her talent. During the concert, she admitted to fans that she was nervous about performing because she had a problem with her ear.

iu said there’s a problem with her ear since yesterday, it was fine at first when she prepared for the concert but last night & today felt like hell, she can’t hear well…she thanked us for doing everything today (the singing/fanchants)

According to a documentary for The Golden Hour, IU was diagnosed with Patulous Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, which she has been struggling with for about a year.
