IU sets date for long‑awaited digital single after year of halted activities

SEOUL, September 5 — After a year of inactivity due to an ear condition, IU is set to resume her music career with the release of a new digital single. EDAM Entertainment, IU's label, announced on Friday that the singer will unveil the track next Thursday. The agency released a brief teaser on IU's social media but withheld details such as the song's title and theme. This digital single will be IU's first new release since "Bye, Summer," which was released in September of the previous year.

IU, who is 33 years old, had planned two solo concerts in Goyang earlier this month, but they were canceled when she experienced a flare-up of patulous Eustachian tube, a condition that leaves the ear canal unusually open, potentially impacting hearing and vocal stability. The same issue caused a delay in the release of her sixth studio album, with no revised schedule announced yet.

The upcoming digital single is anticipated to signal the start of her gradual return to full promotional activities as she continues her recovery.
