IU to release new digital single next week

Korean singer-songwriter IU is set to release a new digital single next Thursday, according to her agency EDAM Entertainment. This marks the first new music from the 33-year-old artist in a year, as health issues, including a flare-up of patulous Eustachian tube, forced her to cancel concerts and delay her sixth studio album. EDAM Entertainment confirmed the news in a statement on Friday, along with a teaser video shared on IU's social media.

The agency has not disclosed any details about the title of the new single. IU's last release was the digital single "Bye, Summer" in September 2025. The artist had initially planned to perform standalone concerts in Goyang, near Seoul, earlier this month, but the shows were canceled due to her health condition. No new release date has been announced yet.
