Lmao I just had flashbacks to a high school classmate who dissed IU when she first became known

[☾vroomvroomilikethat★]

Bish completely disregarded IU when the latter first came into mainstream success with the hit "Good day" and said that IU's youthful appeal would wither away quickly and she would fade into obscurity like so many other pop up singers after their 15 minutes of fame was gone.

 

 

Lmao she thot  

Tbh now that I think back on it, her 'criticisms' were pretty atypical of high school teenagers who always have sth negative to say about everyone so I don't really want to hold them against her, but it's still funny as hell to reflect on how IU has grown to become pretty much the most powerful female solo artist in Korea, at least in 2017 she is.  That's why you should never count anyone off kids!

I bet her youthful appearance is washed out

And now IU is considered as a legend in the Korean music scene at the age of 25. Hah! So much for being a pop up singer aye? LMAO

lmfao

I remember when Boo came out and thinking she was a little different in voice and style at that time. So glad she had staying power.

Ahhah, your post reminded me of when IU told a story of a PD/broadcast staff that belittled her when she was still nugu, saying that "You won't make it in this industry", so she took that as a challenge and yes siree, she freaking show the PD she SURVIVES and went on to become the most powerful female singer in her generation.

yknok was not aware of who would become KPop's Least Useful Singer till 'You Know". In any case, Bish had bet wrong, but for every Iu there are dozens of people who simply disappear without a trace.

that's exactly why my high school classmate said what she said, but what's funny here is that she picked IU out of everyone else to make her predictions, when IU is one of the few who made it in the end.  it goes to show you can never be 100% sure of the future and how it'll go!

At that time few people knew what Loen was. It was the company which did the Melon chart. If they knew back then they would have given more notice to the person who would end KPop's world expansion, possibly preventing the damage before it occurred.
