Known as “The Nation’s Little Sister,” IU has been achieving great success in the last few years as both a singer and a rising actress. However, her career as a K-Pop idol was not as smooth sailing as it may appear. Her path to fame and love by her uncle fans was a road with many rough patches.
IU first made her debut as a solo singer in 2008 at age 15 with “MIA” (also known as “Lost Child”). Although the song showcased her talent in singing, her live performances of the song were unfortunately met with great criticism. IU later recounted the reaction of anti-fans to her performances and said that they shouted at her, saying “Hey, you pig!” and “Get off stage!”

Although IU did not do as well as expected for her debut song, she began to gain a bit of popularity with her next singles in 2009, “Boo” and “Marshmallow.” Her musical talents in guitar-playing were also revealed to the audience as she performed self-composed medleys on music shows, including You Hee Yeol’s Sketchbook and Kim Jung Eun’s Chocolate.
