In a recent chat with Marie Claire (via Soompi), the Hotel Del Luna star shared how she is handling the prospect of leaving her twenties behind: by continuing to be a good musician and not limiting herself as an actor.
Age has always impacted IU’s music creation
For IU, age has not been just a number as she has felt herself aging with time. She recounted how when she was watching the end-of-year awards show at home on New Year’s Eve and suddenly felt excited, something she hadn’t experienced in a very long time.
IU admitted she is afraid of a time when she won’t have the ideal “physical condition that I desire” to continue being productive. Thus, she realized that “health was the most important.” To continue working for a long time, she has to be conscious about how she takes care of herself.
The artist revealed that from a “musical perspective,” too, her songs have been an ode to her changing age. An example is her song “Lilac,” her “farewell” to her 20s, and “a commemoration of me being 29.”
Her approach is different when it comes to acting
While the star’s age plays a vital role in deciding the factors her music depends on, she prefers to take risks and seek unique roles as an actress.
In the next ten years, as she crosses into her 30s, IU plans on being an actor “the public is willing to invest their time in” without questioning what kind of project she is working on. And as a successful musician, she wants to be able to continue making people “curious.”
