It was physically so large

and I had so much to think about so

I actually didn't have much time to
feel nervous

That did make me feel a bit anxious and

it felt like the preparation period was
exceptionally short as if someone said,

"Your concert starts tomorrow"

Because I was actually sweating and
out of breath

However, it wasn't just me

Everyone preparing for the show

must have felt it unusually hard compared
to my former concerts

This is so tough

So exhausting

But I'm not even halfway there yet

This is insane

Wow, I hope I can do this

Yes, the intro

It's the first time I've ever sung a live
version of the original song

There will definitely be audiences
who want that

The piano line is so amazing but

I think people would want the refreshing
vibe of the original version

So that's why the ballad section in

the first verse is long

The piano will play a big role

OK, with no music

We have 10 practices left

Do you have 10 times left now?

- 9 times?
- We have 9 more practices

We can say we still have 10 practices
including the final rehearsal

Yes

I feel like a rich person

I feel like a rich person

Impact of the first song

Giving impact was more important

We weren't continuing the ballad version to

make people who want the original version

to feel sad

We were taking on the vibe from the
original song right away so

I guess I wasn't too concerned about that

I didn't think that people will be sad that

I'm starting the intro from the chorus
with no music

Until "We dance together"?

You have to do "Wow!" for me

Like this?

I don't think I should sing it too hard

Won't it be better to make it sound pretty?

Keep in mind that the audience will not be
screaming like us so

you will not have to deal with the awkward
atmosphere you're expecting and

it's going to be very cool

To be honest, I thought it was 'wrong'

after one line

Really?

Because you didn't hear "Wow!"?

I figured out what was going on with
the "Wow!"

The audiences are being

too cautious

I realized that 'They got shocked'

'by suddenly hearing her voice'

I feel like... the audiences aren't

enjoying it at all

I could feel it from where we are as well

However, if you go check the 1st, 2nd, 3rd,
well, the 1st floor?

You can feel an enormous shout and energy
coming towards the stage but

it's just not conveyed to the stage

People are so shy right now

It's been too long

They're not sure if they should be shouting
or not

Anyway, the picture we wanted at first was

the gap getting filled up with

unbelievably loud cheers

We really did get flummoxed

"Is this really happening?"

People were breath taken as soon as they
heard IU's voice and

they were focused on that only

Since they're wearing masks as well
"Is this really happening?"

Actually, I really didn't hear anyone cheer
both on the first day and the second day

Since the first song was starting with
no music,

I had in-ear mics in both ears

I was also making my entrance from a very
high and far location

I really couldn't hear the audience in
the main stadium at that time so

it took so long to warm myself up

Right

If I'm close to them,

I can figure out if the atmosphere is
going 'this way or that way' but

I can't figure out anything

until the concert is about half over
People are wearing masks so

I can't see their faces

I'm just going on after warming up myself
thinking

'They must be enjoying it, right?'

The first day and the second day were not
very different for me

Where are we having the final rehearsal?

We set up a studio in Gimpo

How big is it?

Remember the normal music video sets?

I think it's bigger than that

Really?

Is it as big as Nodeulseom?
Is it smaller than that?

- It's way larger than Nodeulseom
- 3 times larger than Nodeulseom

- Really?
- 3 or 4 times larger

We're going to practice flying and all

Really?

We'll have all the stage sets there...

Balloon

Drone

He seems very regretful

- I didn't get any notice
- What about firecrackers?

Firecracker

What are we going to have there

Stop teasing director Hyunwoo today

He's had enough today

The band cue incident for years...

The band cue incident... I bet we'll be
talking about that after 10 years

I'm so beat

But you look less exhausting than yesterday

Really?

- Wipe your sweat
- Oh, thanks

You speak well today

I still have the power to speak

She prepared her lines

- I haven't yet
- You haven't?

I will work on my lines during Chuseok

- We'll try the 3 high notes now
- Let's try the 3 high notes now

That's the one comment I came up with

I think that's good

Which song do you want to hear?

Who wants to listen to 'Through the Night'?
Me!

You'll have to wait a bit

Who wants to listen to 'Drama'?

Wait for it

Who wants to listen to the 3 high notes in
'Good Day'? Me!

I'll sing it for you now

That's good

- You've become quite a jokester
- It's the only comment I've prepared

Great

What do you think about 'LILAC'?

After I go out? Is it cool?

It's totally cool

I have two opinions about the dancing
section at the moment

I told you from the beginning,
there are too many dancers in 'dlwlrma'

You think so?

The sound won't be that loud

- In the front and back
- But we'll have firecrackers and all

But we'll have firecrackers and all

You see, speaking of scales,

it's cool if it switches from 40 to 10 than
back to 40 but

if it's 40, 40, 40 continuously...

- Not impressive?
- It's not impressive

First of all, the sound of the song
'dlwlrma' itself does not have

a large sound when other songs are so

having 40 dancers doing a cute dance to
a not-so-large sound

Anyways

And?

I'm not sure if you should walk out in
the end of 'LILAC'

Walking out to the thrust stage?

I thought we should introduce the band

We talked about introducing the band last
time

It's about where to focus the attention

Also, I think it's alright till the 2nd one
among the 4 spins

However, you're doing your

butt dance routine in the end

From the fans' point of view, they would
be moved (in their hearts) when you do it

They wouldn't want to see the dancers do it

If I were a fan

Then what would be better for that part?

I'd rather just have you stay on the
main stage or

keep the focus on the dancers till the
2nd part and then leave

- Focus on the band
- Yes, attract attention to the band

Going out after the second part...

I guess that's about it

I do like the rest, the choreography & all

If the screen is showing the band,

won't it be less boring for the audiences

- You think so?
- if we go out to the thrust stage?

We'll get to have limits in the formation

because the postlude is too long if we
keep dancing on the main stage

I guess that's why we chose to go out

How about doing this there instead of this?

Yeah, do that instead

What are we doing on the thrust stage?

We'll do this on the thrust stage

We'll split once and then line up again

We'll spread out in the middle of the road

This is the first part

This is what we do when we're spread out
on the road

I see, one time for each

I thought, "Oh?" when I first heard it and

I thought the audience would feel the same
way

It was very unfamiliar for us at first and

we used the machine to

raise the pitch for my chorus as well

That's why I was concerned thinking,
"Will this be alright?"

"Wouldn't it be too experimental?" but

it created a very exciting mood to listen
to it on the stage with

the dancers dancing

When I said "I'm a bit concerned"

director Jonghoon said

"This is absolutely great"
He said it'll work no matter what

So I trusted him

- It was very exciting
- Yeah

'LILAC' was

the middle section of the show

That's right

We thought this part has to be the most
extravagant to keep it going till the end

We were determined 'LILAC' has to be
as long as it can be, new and

we also wanted the dancers to do something
extravagant but

it seems that all of that has been taken
away by other songs

To be honest, no one around me

talked about 'LILAC' as I expected

I guess that's true

Most of the parts were highlighted

Yeah

It's a little bit sad that people don't
mention 'LILAC' so much

'LILAC' didn't get much attention since
other songs were so impressive

- Were they?
- Yeah

I thought it was amazing

Then I'm happy

That's the only thing I can remember

However, director Hyunwoo did mention it
continuously

At meetings and all

"I hope we can do what we did 4 years ago"

"for Blueming at LILAC this time"

"presentation-wise and performance-wise"

Director Hyunwoo was serious about it

I wanted the whole main stadium to be

- colored with flowers
- colored with flowers

You shouldn't have put up 'strawberry moon'
on the sky if you wanted that

We put 'strawberry moon' up before that,

announced that I will graduate 'Good Day'
and then perform 'My sea'

I tried all my might to be twinkle toes

for 'LILAC'

I was clenching my teeth while dancing

'LILAC' after 'Good Day'

I mean, it was crazy, to be honest

I know, you had to for 'LILAC'

I had no choice but to clench my teeth

That's why part 2 was

so exhausting

'strawberry moon', 'Hold My Hand'

'Blueming', 'Last night story', 'Good Day'

I know I planned the whole set list but

I did regret it big time

I said to myself,
'Why am I doing this after I planned it'?

'Why am I punishing myself so much?'

I wanted to discuss this with you

Yes?

If I should change the sequence

There's no empty slot though

To put this at the back of the list,

- it's too late...
- Yeah, it'll break the sequence

- 'Good day'
- 'Because of Good Day'

'Good day' was most necessary

It'll be very strange
if I don't sing the 3 high notes, right?

Very strange

Many songs are tough this time

We always had them on the set list

I know

I have one, two, three, four new songs
added

It was getting more and more tricky to
decide where to include 'Good Day' so

I thought, "Should I exclude it this time?"

I can't exclude 'Good Day' from this show

When all of my hits are included in this
concert, it'll make no sense to

leave out 'Good Day'

Why don't we open it to the audience

I got to try different genres over time and

the musical style changed from what I did
when I was a teenager so

it gets harder to include 'Good Day' in
the set list

This will be the last time 'Good Day' will
be included in the official set list

I could sing it during encore or
encore of encore so

I decided to, 'Open it to the audience' and
that's why

that section became more special
in this concert

'Good Day' is always in the climax of
my concert so

it's difficult to make alternations in
my set list

If this song comes in the middle or

the middle of part 1,

I realized that the latter part gets
to lack the vibe

I always struggled with this when I
planned the set list so

I decided to graduate 'Good Day'

Absolutely unacceptable?

No

We planned to do so and planned the set list

People don't like 'Good Day' as before

When I perform,

I know I must perform that song but

I knew that the concert will be more
colorful if decide to

include another song instead of

'Good Day' considering the concept of this
concert but

I always do have to perform 'Good Day'

But, the audience wants to listen to

other songs more like they used to listen
to this song more before

Maybe B-side tracks that weren't included
before

Maybe something a bit maniac

So the position of 'Good Day' got uncertain

Let's just be bold and exclude it from the
official set list

It was always included so

we made the tough decision
'Let's exclude it for a while'

- Maybe at a reasonable time in the future
- Yeah

'Good Day' is an incredible song

I didn't ask to exclude it

Director Hyunwoo didn't ask to exclude it

Come to think of it, director Hyunwoo
never really was that passionate about

the stage management for 'Good Day'

- I guess the dynamics from
- You're right, I wasn't

the 3 high notes could've been the reason

I was more passionate about creating

the stage for the new songs in each album

I'm sorry but I thought 'Good Day' is

a song that's enough with

the musical power it has

That's a good thing

Yes, that's good

You did a good job of distributing

It's "One, two, I'm in my dream"

However, "One, two, three, four"

I'm going to trick them by doing,
"One, two, I'm in my dream"

What if it gets modulated?

Yikes

One, two, three, four, one

It's the same without modulation

That's good

It's even better

I think I forgot more and more to use
half falsetto

Most of my recent songs ranged

at not-so-high pitches while

I mainly use my natural voice

I either go with falsetto or just use my
natural voice so

I didn't have songs such as 'Good Day',
'YOU&I', 'Every End of the Day'

- to use half falsetto as before
- Yeah

I realize that 'I can still do it'

by singing old songs from time to time

while we Producing the songs

I guess I don't get the opportunity
to use it more and more

Half falsetto was a distinctive part of

IU's vocal style in the past but

now my vocal range has gotten more diverse

I guess that's why I got to forget how to
use half falsetto by time

Tell me to use it from time to time

You do need it, right?

It's good to have a diverse vocal range

So I got to have

a lowered, more stable overtone than before

which is great for performing

Yes

It's great for performing

Because if you use your natural voice in
the part where

you used half falsetto before,

it sounds way more invigorating and clearer

That's so much better for a concert

- When I'm recording
- For recording

there are many registers that I can handle
way more delicately if I use half falsetto

But I really didn't have a lot of songs to
use half falsetto recently

I'm not sure which side it is

Isn't it written on it?

It's not... I did learn about both sides
The red one is

this side

Good, it fits well

So your in-ear mics are both pink

How pretty

This is a new one

Left side is red

Silver chrome is the only way to make it
work like a mirror

That's about it

This?

- Voice recognition?
- I can use my voice?

Stop, stop, stop

This one is orange, take a look

Stop

What are you doing

This is not so easy

- It gets shadowy if you stop it
- I see

- It's better to watch the whole clip
- Alright

Orange

Can't we have matt orange?

I'm sure they can make matt colors

If it's matt...

It'll feel like that

It'll be like the paint we used
when you performed 'Blueming'

I guess I'll just choose white

- White?
- Yeah, it's clean

With gloss?

With gloss

This one is the white one

This one, what's this one?

A bit of gray

This one looks like a gray one

This one is silver

I think this is the same but it looks
different because of the light

This is orange

That's not bad

Shall I try chrome? Silver?

To match this one?
Okay, let's do that

UAENA's logo, IUAENA

- Just the logo..
- Only the logo

Only the logo?

Where?

In the center part here

Won't you be holding that part with
your hands?

Right, then up in this part

To celebrate turning 30 years old,
I ordered a custom mic

Colorless

I didn't really add any color

Should I say chrome?

Chrome material? That's how I ordered it

Shall I choose orange? Since the theme is
focused on orange this time

Shall I choose orange? What about pink?

"Just get rid of color"
so I chose to go with chrome

The one demand I made was to put UAENA's
logo on it without any details

The mic itself has incredible performance
quality

The mic ate me up

to the extent that I have to be careful
not to be dragged around

The performance quality is exceptional
and it's beautiful

- Is that the new mic?
- Yes

- Silver hair tail?
- Do you think it's good?

- Is it cool?
- It's cool

How do you like it?

Did my vocal sound good?

That's because each type of microphone has
a different sensitivity

Some mics have a softer sound and

some mics have very sensitive sounds
with clear accuracy

So it depends on the mic

I can't say which is better

It depends on your taste so for the singer

It depends on the listener's taste

However, objectively,

there is a more accurate mic and

a mic that is more subtle

Judging based on the band sound

when I was performing upbeat songs
such as 'Blueming' or 'Hold My Hand'

the new mic was perfect

When I was singing ballad songs, my old
custom mics were way softer and

captured the subtle nuances of my voice

However, since this is a very sensitive
and small difference,

I get misunderstood by people who say
"It's all in your head"

This time, it was uniquely obvious

- Especially when I sang 'My sea'
- Yes

I changed the mic when we were rehearsing
it in Gimpo and

sang it 3 times, 4 times in a row, right?

- Since the new one was too sensitive
- Yeah

So we decided to sing it using the
rose-gold mic I ordered in the past

The difference was obvious

- for others to listen
- Totally different

To the extent for them to ask,
"Why does it sound so different?"

"Why does it sound so different when the
same person is singing?"

So I tried it using different mics and

searched for the right sound for each song
We did a good job

It was so tiring and tough when we did that

but I was glad that I did at the concert

- I'm glad we used different band rooms too
- Yeah, I'm really glad we did

What should I do

I'll sing 'Blueming' with a different mic

Will it be better if I use this to listen
for Papa(director Jonghoon)?

Papa(director Jonghoon)...
is JM listening?

Yes, he's listening

I can make time tomorrow

This mic is lighter

Okay

What did you just use?

- The gold one, rose gold one
- Gold

That one, I see

This is the same balance, right?

Yes

This one makes my voice clearer but

I won't be able to sing for a long time
with this mic condition

When I sing with this one

it strains my voice a lot so

I think you'll have to open the mic sound
more when I hit high notes

Will the directors be able to take care of
that on their own?

The gold mic is better for me to sing

I guess I could switch them while I sing

I'll use that for ballad songs, I'll use
the gold mic for part 1 and

I'll use the silver one for part 2

- What should I do?
- Shall we start?

- Huh?
- Shall we start?

- From the intro?
- Yes

- We don't have much time
- No, you're right

- Shall I use this for the opening?
- Yes

- I prefer this one way more
- This is very much like that

The blue mic we used for Love, Poem concert

But I never used that again after that

- The resonance was
- Where was that?

Love, Poem concert in Seoul when I sang
'Blueming'

I only used it for 'Blueming' and never
used it again

It feels just like that one
You can hear the resonance very clear

in a large concert hall but

my voice gets shot too quickly if I use
it to sing

So I'm not so sure how it'll be

Why didn't you get any sleep?

I had a lot of nightmares

Why is this part swollen?

As if I got mumps

Who knows why it hurts?

I wonder why?

It hurts just to do this with my tongue

Did I move around too much wearing

in-ear mics that don't fit?

This part in here hurts

I wore new in-ear mics for the first time

and they were made a bit bigger so

my ears hurt so much as if they're
going to get torn

The in-ear mics...

People who are watching
may not be aware of it

You put liquid silicone in your ears and

make a mold of my ear

They create an in-ear monitor that looks
exactly like my ear so

it provides a perfect seal

However, the new in-ear mic was a bit
bigger and stiff so

it kept hurting my ears, they got red

I even got an ear disorder on the 2nd day

I guess that in-ear mic took a part in that

It's so big and it irritates my ears more

when I open my mouth since they're
connected

so the next day...

my skin got swollen all the way down to
my neck and I was in pain

My ears got redder and swollen, and I
couldn't put my new in-ears in

So I asked to switch them on the second
day and

use the old in-ear mic

I was in so much pain so I said,
"It hurts too much" but

the staff in the front said,
"Hang in there"

"Okay"

"I'll endure it" and I actually did

The main stadium

These in-ears?

I can hear clearly

Your singing is great

Yeah?

Hold it even if your neck hurts

My neck hurts so much

I don't think I'll be able to use my voice
tomorrow

Hold it

You realized you can hold it back today,
right?

Hold it

It was the first time in 1 6 years

When you all told me to hold it when I said
I'm in pain

Hold it

- Read the room
- How dare you

So what if you're in pain

Hold it

I did endure it, it was like I did

- an entire concert
- Yeah

It's the main stadium

I can't hear you if I speak quietly, so
please speak loudly

I can't hear anything, speak loudly

It's the main stadium

The main stadium is perfect

- I can't hear anything at the moment
- They say the main stadium is the perfect choice

Grandma

The main stadium is perfect

I know, I guess it was tough for us because

we were rehearsing in small theaters

It's much better to

rehearse in a large concert hall

Was I made for large concert halls?

Made for large concert halls?

Made for the main stadium?

I had an issue with my in-ears at that time

The concert hall was too large

It happens now and then

when the reception is cut off for a moment

So from the rehearsal that day

I think it was the Sunday concert

When I was performing 'Hold My Hand'

I started from the side of the stage and

I kept losing reception so

I did talk about it with the sound director

I worked with the sound director for a long
time and

he's very meticulous so

he doesn't carry one until he gets
everything in control but

he told me this at that time

You'll have to take it into consideration
since this is the main stadium

Understand if there are some cut-offs

Will it be different from this tomorrow?

On the day of the concert?

Seriously, it's not a matter of adaptation

I really can't hear anything

I can't hear anything when I get out here

I can't raise my head or try to be flirty

because I can't hear anything

- Seriously, other artists
- They say it happens all the time

perform on this spot?

The dancers are the issue

Dancers will wear in-ears too, right?

I don't think we'll ever be able to check
our teamwork

There is a time gap bet between the music
she's hearing and the music the dancers are hearing

Yes

- Since they're out on the thrust?
- Yes

If I'm listening to it here and take it off

They're hearing it belatedly and

the dancers are dancing to that

Two on the stage with Yohan

- ZZURU
- Yes

I'd rather put in-ears on the main dancers

- and the rest should follow them
- Yeah

- That's the best
- I think we should do that

Put in-ears on the leaders

It's not possible here

That's the only way we can find

IU is so lovely

Hey, so what did you decide to do with
the dancers?

What do you mean?

The issue they can't hear music out there
because it resonates too much

For now, when we were rehearsing

you didn't sing and we just played music

The delay wasn't too bad when we did that

so we didn't notice and carried on

We'll have to check the songs with a lot of
delay

They won't be able to hear
'Last Night Story' at all

Yeah, we can't hear 'Last Night Story'

We finished 'Last Night Story' on
the thrust, remember?

- We changed that
- How?

Audience can't see you at all if you
do that, the people on the side can't

we changed the plan to have the dancers
to split and dance on the road as well

Can I get some rest now?

I should ride the moon

Shouldn't we practice 'Ah puh'?

- Right, we have to practice 'Ah puh'
- We should

Only that one

During 'above the time'

the guys have to run past you but they
can't if you are

standing too in the front

So how about this far? By this strawberry

This sand glass, strawberry?

Stand on the sand glass

We haven't been to the main stadium yet so

we weren't sure how many laps we should do

to get people excited

We weren't sure how many laps the dancers
should do to liven up the mood

So we

did way more laps than the first plan

Yeah, 3 times more than the first plan

It just won't get easily exciting

'Let's do a lot if we're going to do it'

We did a lot of laps

When the captain said,
"There's nothing more we can do"

From the 16 beats where IU was going up
in the air,

"We'll raise it to the sky when IU starts
rising"

so we set off firecrackers at that moment

We had firecrackers

Let's wrap up the show in a festive mood

- Let's set them all
- Yeah, all

I went the whole hog

How are the low-pitched notes?

How about we emphasize your low notes
more?

- Then the high notes
- Your high notes are fine

- It's not diminished like the low note
- No?

We are getting lumps...

- Let's work on the low notes tomorrow
- Let's slightly work on the low notes

I think it would be much better if it was
only in the verse

How about when you're out on the thrust?

- Because of the cut-off
- Other than the cut-off

It's okay now

It's better to push it like that, right?

- It's because you added the rhythm
- I added more rhythm

Then it'll be less resonating

with the audience there

- It'll eliminate resonance
- Eliminated

Instead, you'll hear the audience more

You should feel happy about that sound

Those directors said that

Director Dusoo and Jiho said that

"If they say so"

"I should endure it" so

I was going to keep going but

I don't know if it was due to the condition
of my ear or something

on that day, Sunday, but

I just couldn't monitor

It can be tough

So I changed the in-ears

Everyone, can you give me a moment?

Yes

It's nothing but

my in-ear mics have been troubling so

- Sound team, quickly get in
- I'll have to change the in-ears

- Sound team, hurry
- Can you please give me a moment?

Yes

I'm sorry, please give me a moment

Please have a chat and wait for me

Isn't she wearing Ultimate Ears
in-ear monitors?

She's wearing Westone

Please take a break

- Don't mind me
- She's wearing Westone?

Westone to UE

I thought she was wearing UE

It's okay, this is fine

It's good

My ears hurt so much due to the size so

I switched to my old in-ears and

it was not the size that can accommodate
the size of the stadium

My old in-ears weren't

It was my first time performing at the
main stadium

I never experienced that scale so

we had some trials and errors

This is not easy

I should be more relaxed on the second
day but

I think I'm strangely more anxious
than yesterday

However, things are going well

In-ears are just like mics

Some in-ears are good to capture delicate
sounds and

some in-ears are good to capture every
nuance so

you use different in-ears depending on
the size of the concert hall

But the main stadium was too sensitive

It was different on the thrust, the side
and the main stage

It was different everywhere so I was so
stressed thinking about where to

set as the default

More than I was in other concert halls

I couldn't lose the in-ears

Anyway, you proved that you can do it

Yeah

- I think that's important
- Yes

You always push me to the limit and say

- "Hold it"
- No, not "Hold it"

- It's proven
- It's proven

It was proven that I can do it

Perfect, I love it

I love it

One hundred points

Awesome, she's the best

She is singing way better than yesterday

Incomparably better

- Is it fully relaxed?
- Huh?

- Is her voice warmed up?
- No, her anxiety

She seems very confident
when she's commenting

She loosened up so much

I love it

This time, in particular, I really can't
read the audience's reaction

I asked them to tell me everything because

my ears were way less sensitive than usual
due to the main stadium and

I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong

I didn't ask for praise

I asked them to give me a score whenever
I finish a song

So I could roughly figure it out and

control the level up and down

They usually find it very bothersome but

they did that for me for the two days

It's been a long time since we worked
together now so

it can't be fun and exciting

in every concert

You might have enjoyed the second day but

they were trying to encourage me
I also do that too

When I'm really sensitive,

Why does your voice sound like that when
you're complimenting me

Why does it sound negative?

When he says "You're doing great"

I suddenly realize that

Jonghoon is trying to encourage me
I didn't do well

I realize it's fake so I ask him to be
very objective when giving opinions and

tell me if I did bad if I did bad

I ask him to tell me even when I'm singing

though it might ruin my concentration

Tell me everything after the 1st verse

Tell me if the pitch is dropping after the
1st verse is over

How my emotions are and all

If you're going to kudo me because it was
actually good,

say it in a bright tone

I even ask for that

On days I don't feel good,

I ask him to shout in my ears and

lighten up the mood

He performs those faithfully

At concerts,

it's not about doing good or bad...

Unless her pitch actually drops

She's good at most times so it's not about
doing good or bad

It's about giving her bright energy

We really do give her scores when we
work with the band

86 points

- For real
- Like that

How is there such a drastic difference
between songs you practiced or not

The verse was slightly high pitched

It happens all the time

The verse will be breathtaking if you can
manage that a bit more

When you see me playing with the band,

I look at Jonghoon after the 1st verse

I look at him like this after the 1st verse
and he tells me to do this

or raise or lower it

He works as my ears throughout the concert

His opinion matters a lot to me

I'm the only person who doesn't get to see
the hot-air balloon

So I just trusted other's opinions

I once asked the director not to do it

Director Hyunwoo isn't usually like that
but he sounded very stubborn when he said

"I think we should"

I explained that it'll be so scary to be up
high in the air

I won't have smooth reception up there

The wind suddenly blows above it and

it feels like it's not moving forward

I'm so concerned about leaving it solely
on the wind

"There are several reasons why we should
call it quits"

"Why don't we just call it quits?"

"I think we should" was his reply

Okay, I'll do it then

You have no choice but to do it

I should do it if the director tells me to

It's important not to make a request often

That's right, it's important to make
a straight face

- in a critical, desperate situation
- Yes

I would've said "I can't do it" if he was
always so stubborn but

I've been working with director Hyunwoo
for many years & he never pushed me

"IU, is it making you uncomfortable?
Let's not do it then"

This is how he usually is and

he said "I think we should" so

I said, "Okay"

I wanted to try it

No artist in Korea made a lap around the

the main stadium while singing before

To be honest, I did think that it might be
'impossible' but

I believed in you

I do it if you tell me to

You were very excited and dying to

work on this concert

It has been a long time since he directed
my concert so

he had so many ideas this time and

he made that all happen

He did

Without a single part reasonably compromised

He made everything happen

Everything he planned came true

My wishes were realized

I don't have a fear of heights or anything

But the problem wasn't about going up

It was keep moving irregularly like

a pirate ship ride due to the wind so

that was scary

I ordered that on purpose

- To ride the waves
- I figured

I figured

Director

'strawberry moon' is

very unstable up there

I'm not sure how it looked down here,
how was it?

For us?

It was good on the 2nd floor

To be honest, it is beautiful

but you can't hide your anxiety

No?

It's crashing

I thought it was going to crash

You didn't plan that, right?

Did I land on the proper landing spot?

- No
- The music is over

We were originally planning to set it up
on the stage but

they said it's safe to land on the ground
when it's windy

It's raining, the floor is slippery

So the engineers were usually on time but

it didn't work like that this time so the
aeronaut made a decision

We were back on time when we did a full run
in the afternoon without you

However, there can always be variables

It'll be safe to think that you'll land

safely on the ground to plan your routes

I'm not sure if I'll look good on screen

You were fine on the screen

I'll be deadly pale, I'm not sure if that
would be alright

I'm not sure if I can act like I'm not
tomorrow

It was shaking so hard that

I thought the balloon we rode in Buyeo was

meaningless

Because it was windswept

It was wind-swept and I could feel

the balloon meeting air resistance

It made my body go this way

Come on

I was almost dangling on it in the end

I was keep looking at the screen and

my face looked so bad on it

It really did at first

With the fact that singing
my heart out like this itself is hard

I was going to ask if this is alright

It won't be so wind-swept tomorrow if
it doesn't rain, right?

We never know

I don't listen to 'strawberry moon' after
that

You got sick of it already

We performed 'strawberry moon' for about
1 5 minutes that day, right?

Right

'strawberry moon' that doesn't end until
you die

I never listened to 'strawberry moon'
after that

We could say that the band and the singer
almost died

Yes but

it's not like I can

grab my mic and say

"Please make the band go one more lap"

I had to rely on my senses

By reading the room

We had to take care of it ourselves

I felt how good our teamwork is there

I realized,
'This is the power of experience'

I've been very greedy

I was so thankful though

People who have been through all
circumstances dealt with it

We were trained by 'Hey'

During other concerts,

they take care of the concert when I can't
jump in during 'Hey'

Our experience trained by 'Hey' was

manifested at 'strawberry moon'

I wonder how you felt when

you walked out to the thrust for 'My sea'

In fact, I had no time to feel anything

The audiences feel it

I have no idea

I'm the only person who didn't get to
watch it

I didn't get to watch the laser show

'I guess it's going this way?'

'Is it looking fabulous?'

I just walk down thinking that because
I didn't get to watch it at all

People said the lasers were just fantastic

- from the seats that could see it
- Yeah?

1st-floor seats couldn't see the laser
clearly

They could only see you walking down
from the fog

People on the left side could see all the
blue laser effects and

they said it was amazing

It's different in each seat

That's right

Let's wrap up after one song...

- OK
- Great

- Let's do 'My sea'
- Yes, let's do 'My sea'

We have to do 'My sea'

We should, we can't postpone it forever

We're doing 'My sea' every single day

We must do 'My sea' every single day

Postludes of 'YOU&I' and 'My sea' seem

- similar
- short in length

Oh, the gap is short

They listen to 'Love poem' after the play,

then listen to your comments for a short
while and listen to the play again

Why don't we just make an end to it
like the finish

I like that idea

Maybe we should

I guess it's not a bad idea for

you to wrap it up after a while from
"I won't"

I think it'll be okay to not make a fuss

Or turn off the lights after "I won't"

Every light in the stadium

That will have an impact

- It'll be totally impactful
- Turn off the glow sticks too

- What's going to happen next?
- I think IU will

wrap up on the thrust

She'll finish 'My sea' on the thrust

Everything will be like waves at that time

We're going to capture that moment

I think it'll be great if you walk down
the road and enter the sand glass

rather than going out from the thrust

Though the postlude is playing after
"I won't"

- I'm gone
- You should be gone, right?

I think turning off the lights after
"I won't" is a great idea

Make the whole stadium blackout

Turn on small lights when they start
applauding

I think they will continue applauding if
I walk out from that moment

I think we should add the blackout

It's going to be extremely thrilling

if I perform great vocal skills but

people will be rumbling if I end up
messing up 'My sea'

"What just... is this alright?"

What music is playing while walking?

- No music, only waves
- Only wave sounds

She has a point

- After singing this part, right?
- Yes, up to this part

That'll be perfect then

The part where I walk down at the end of
'My sea' on the second day of the concert

- I walked with all my might
- Why?

- Because I was exhausted
- Because you were exhausted

I was exhausted and my outfit was very
heavy

It was a custom dress and it was very heavy

I think it weighed about 3kg

It had gold beads all over so

it was so heavy and I was tired

I've lost weight since the opening

I finished the hardest song

The concert is over if I walk down this
road

But it was longer than I expected

I was also feeling awkward

It wasn't a cheerful mood

People were watching with bated breath

I'm thinking 'It'll be fascinating at the
moment' but

I don't get to see if it actually is so

I'm feeling awkward and at the same time
walking with all my might

'It's over if I get there'

I heard the drones were dope

- The drones were incredible
- The drones killed it

Really?

We were flabbergasted

It was the only thing that wasn't leaked

This part or this part

One of the two

First of all, during the outro of
'Through the Night'

after the artist on the thrust walks out,

another drone will fly on the other side

It will fly across the stage,

disappear into the LED in the center,

we will play a video on it

When the audience goes up in the video

the drones that were on stand-by in the air
will spread out and

stop right here

Will they know it's my song?

Your real fans will know

Maybe only 4,000 out of 40,000 will know

- Not even 4,000 people will know
- Really?

IU's silhouette will appear

Really?

Aren't you using 1 6 drones?

What can we do with 1 6 drones

- How many? 300 drones?
- 300 drones

Why did I think it was 16?

1 6 drones...

I don't know if someone told me a joke and
said we will use 16 drones but

I really thought we had 1 6 drones

I asked, "Aren't we flying 1 6 drones?"

"What do you mean"

I thought it can be amazing with 16 drones

1 6 drones

"This section is a bit long."

"Rather than playing music only"

"Why don't we play my song?"

One of the staff came up with an idea

Let's play 'Last Fantasy'

I think it was a joke at first

But it actually came true

The orchestra members played it

I had a dream a while ago

It was the day of the concert in my dream

We were all sitting in the audience seat

IU was waiting on the stage on her own

Hanteo was explaining it to the fans in
all of a sudden

"Our engineer driver left behind the
hard disk..."

I left this

- "We can't have the concert"
- "I forgot to bring my laptop"

"She can't sing"

It wasn't even due to the rain

Not due to all that

Just because you forgot your laptop

This is funny as a story but

- it's horrible if you dream about it
- Of course

It's dizzying just to imagine it

Among all the equipment, I forgot a laptop

and we can't have the concert

Hayeon must've thought you were

- so unreliable
- So unreliable

She must've unconsciously thought,
'If we make a mistake, it's due to him'

- She dreamed about it
- Were you talking behind me?

I'm the only one in this state

My hair and makeup aren't done and I don't
know my routes on the stage but

the concert started

I've been dreaming about it every day
since a month ago

I still dream about it these days

Singers dream about that for a month

In my case, I had to learn the song but
I didn't

Are you a composer?

- I didn't learn it
- Are you a guitarist?

He had to learn it but he didn't

It's terrifying

Of course, it's terrifying

What's wrong with EDAM staffs

getting told off by me due to

mistakes caused by system errors such as

the audience having issues while entering

They all dream about making mistakes in
their sections

I dream about being unable to have
a full audience

I didn't have a dream

We had to stay up the night before due to
the memory

We couldn't have a rehearsal

You've been up all night

I was working on the memory looking at
the rain thinking

"I'm in trouble"
This was a dream itself

I guess I was so fazed

Please give the guitar section more vinyl

We had a little bit of trust

that there won't be any issue on the day
of the concert

I just believed in it like a superstition

What if I don't believe it

Nothing will change even if I don't believe
it so

all of us believed it like a superstition

"It's not going to rain that day"
"Nothing will go wrong that day"

We were brainwashing ourselves

We didn't have that serious matters

on the concert day, right?

"It's not going to rain tomorrow"

We just believed that

I wasn't concerned about whether it will
rain or not on the first day but

not getting to run the tech rehearsal?

We didn't get to check any technical
components

We couldn't check the routes and

we actually had to start the concert
without a final rehearsal

It was the first time

So I think

- it's a miracle the concert was successful
- I think the same

To be honest,

I'm sorry to say this but

there wasn't a single time where we
didn't make mistakes

on the first day of the concert before

Something always came up

It could've been the video

- Technically?
- Yes, technically

Yes, in history

The players are all skilled but

based on the first day of the concert,
something always came up

All the time

- An error we never even imagined of
- Yeah

The video is suddenly not in sync

- The chair goes up in a strange moment
- It happened in 201 7

Something that should've blown up didn't
blow up, things like that happened

We could say we didn't have any errors

It really was a miracle

It was a miracle

We didn't get to do the final rehearsal

We had so many issues before

Lasers, hot-air balloons and all

The fact everything went smoothly was

a miracle

I have to wait about an hour, right?

No, 10 minutes

10 minutes? Okay

You can't try on your outfits because
we're not ready for quick change yet

OK, let's save the outfits

Save your stamina

On the stage,

in the center of the road from the stage

Center of the spot you're standing to
the road

A puddle will be made there if it rains
this much

A puddle is made

All the rain gathered above falls there

I got flabbergasted too

Do not panic

You mean there will be a puddle, right?

We scrubbed it off now but

if a ridiculous incident happens where it
suddenly starts raining during the concert

tomorrow, the rain will gather there

It'll be totally dumbfounding

It won't rain tomorrow

It won't

After IU left, everyone stayed behind
We gathered with the designers and

had a 30-minute-long emergency meeting

We got hungry, ordered fried chicken,

watched it rain thinking about what we
should do

"Let's design it again one by one"
"Let's make modifications"

The rain on the lights, the lasers looked

more beautiful

'This is also beautiful but'

'I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow'

'It won't rain'

- That's what happened
- Super positive

It was beautiful though

I knew it won't rain the next day so

it looked beautiful

It was very aesthetic

Rehearsing in the rain was nice too

I liked the sentimental vibe

Now that I think about it,

- I think it was very fun
- Yes, it's a good memory

I don't think I'll get to experience that
ever again

Are you beat?

Yes, I am beat

If it outbreaks in the beginning,

I will be lost

I have no answer prepared for that

It'll be severe if it outbreaks in
the beginning

Will it matter to have a rehearsal?

So let's skip rehearsal tomorrow

We don't have to do it

I mean, if my ear disorder outbreaks after
a short while since the opening

What should I do then?
I think that's the most crucial matter

I don't think there's a way not to sweat

Should we shorten the route more?

What about not walking out to the thrust
stage at all

- No rehearsal when it's the hottest
- No

Your pores will stay open if it opens there

It might be better if you come up stage

in the evening when it's cool so we can
keep the pores from opening early

Just relax your voice here

My voice is not the issue now

- Not anymore
- Even if

my voice is totally shot,

I'll be able to manage it because it's
the last day but

I won't be able to do anything if my ears
start malfunctioning

What should I do

This is really unexpected

I'm having a mental breakdown

I never thought I'll be sweating so much

since I was born

My stylists were worried it might be cold

Will the audience be less shy tomorrow?

I can totally feel that they're shy

- Yeah?
- Yes

I thought they were a bit fanatical when
they sang along 'Through the Night'

- I could feel the madness
- I know

If we have that event tomorrow,

we'll have to

- keep going till the end
- Yeah

Wasn't it so nice?

- The audience singing along?
- Yes, that was very nice

- I loved it
- Let's keep that

I just thought they were 'So amazing'

I think it's the first time I thought so

It was not about getting touched or so

'How amazing'

'How can 40,000 people sing together?'

We sometimes don't click when

we play together in the ensemble room

They must've met each other for the first
time that day

I'm sure 40,000 people didn't act at
the same time

However, 40,000 and a few thousand
people were

singing together with one voice

- How did they figure out the key
- Yeah

How did they figure out the beat?
They finished the song

I really thought they were 'So amazing'

'Phenomenal'

- The two songs were very tricky
- I know, but they chose them

- They did it
- I know, they did it

I really thought they were 'So amazing'

We also enjoyed that moment

IU was getting ready and we were listening
to the music

We were listening to UAENA sing and

felt very relieved

'How nice'

That's just phenomenal

It's not easy even if you train for
a few days

No, it's not

I mentioned this a lot at that time but

you should consider making a debut

It was just so amazing

Who started this?

One person must've come up with it at first

and led others to join, right?

Everyone, how did you do that

'Love poem' is such a tough song to
sing live

I was biting my tongue and holding it back

Seriously

You were incredible singers

You have no idea how spectacular you look
from here

I will never forget it

Thank you for creating an unforgettable
moment

in a person's life

I don't know what I did to deserve this

You came all this way and waited from
early morning,

memorized the lyrics, sang me a song,

cheered for me until this hour

What did I do to deserve this

What a strange life

I hope I can be

someone meaningful to you at least about
a quarter of

what I am feeling at the moment

I will never forget this day and

try to have a better life

What will I do in my next concert?

Do you have other plans that are surreal

that we haven't tried before?

Talk show?

Talk concert?

Can anything be more dynamic and shocking
direct-wise?

I don't think so

Really? You can't say that

People won't come now then

You should say you have more

Do you think you have more?

I heard that we do

Really? What more can we do?

Yeah

What about this?

IU suddenly disappears in the air

You mentioned this once

Appearing on a plane...

On a plane...
we can't do that due to the noise

We can't do that due to the monitor

IU is in the air, then suddenly,

'Bang' and she disappears with feathers
shattering

With some magic tricks

I think you should learn some magic tricks

- I think I should
- To create more dynamic concerts

People will want more intensed contents

They won't be satisfied with hot-air
balloons anymore

Drones won't be able to satisfy them

I see

Hyunwoo, you have more ideas, right?

Of course, I do

This wasn't Hyunwoo's last concert, right?

I think this is a good thing though

Taking things to the maximum and

then emptying it away

It's nice to do that from time to time

I think that's very important because

this concert was

the maximum of maximum

I think we should focus on the artist more

than on the concert from now on

Baby steps toward that

- That's important
- I think that'll be better

I agree

I did think it'd be better if we tone it
down a bit

It's nice to go beyond limits of course but

I think it'll be great if we can talk about

things with more focus on them

No, please show me more extravagant things

- Is that what you want?
- Yes

Let's do that a while later

A while later

Until the next concert,

I hope you can show it to us

'Wow, it can go the extra mile?'

Wowzers

I'll visit Las Vegas

Please tell us with confidence

Excuse me?

Please tell us with confidence

About the next concert?

Yes, there are fiercer elements,

new ideas for the next concert

I'm not sure it'll be realizable but

I did have such imagination

The only thing left is IU getting
disintegrated in the air, right?

Disintegration in the air...

We also didn't try cloning before

Disintegration in the air, teleportation

Yes

Dark magic

That's the direction we should pursue
You should visit Hogwarts once

I will

Flying on a broomstick

It has to be realizable and fun as well

I'll look for unrealistic things rather
than realistic things

I love unrealistic things

I'll think of something that can trigger
your imagination

That's great

Anyway, I have more to show you

I'm still thirsty

Yes

I think he's actually thirsty

I think he's actually parched with thirst

I'll look forward to it

I am also very excited about it
