South Korean singer-songwriter IU has shared a mysterious new teaser for something called “The Golden Hour.”
On July 26, the K-pop musician shared an image of an upcoming project titled “The Golden Hour” on social media. The new photo shows IU jumping into the air in a long tulle skirt, and is accompanied by a caption that reads “Coming Soon” and a hashtag that reads “under the orange sun” in Korean.
The singer has yet to give details about what exactly the project is about, although there is a link between its title and the lyrics in the chorus of his 2020 digital single ‘Eight’, which features BTS’ Suga: “Under the orange sun / We’re dancing without a shadow / There’s no sure goodbye / We’ll meet in the beautiful memories / Forever young“.
IU’s last music release was her December 2021 special album “Pieces”, which contained several previously unreleased songs from her previous albums. The album was preceded by the singer’s digital single ‘Strawberry Moon’, which followed IU’s fifth studio album ‘LILAC’.
The musician recently starred in the movie Broker alongside Parasite’s Song Kang-ho and The Silent Sea’s Bae Doo-na, directed by famous Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda. When asked about new music in an interview for the film last month, IU shared that while she was “writing something,” she had “no immediate plans to release it.”
However, IU gave fans a hint of what they can expect from the upcoming release. “It will be my first project since I was 30 years old, so I want to do something different from what I did in my 20s,” he said.
