IU is afraid her popularity “bubble” will pop

Singer IU made an appearance on SBS’s night-time news program, “Night Line,” on January 18th and participated in their “Culture Icon” corner.

She introduced the popularity behind her third mini-album, “Real,” and her feelings behind her promotions for “Good Day.”

Asked about how she felt about the immense love and support her fans have been giving her, she replied, “It’s love and popularity that I received in such a short span that I’m always afraid of whether I’ll do something that disappoints them and lose it all.  I think people look at more than what I’m capable of.  I’m really just scared of the ‘bubble’ that’s going to pop soon.”

She continued, “I received so much love this promotion cycle, I’m truly thankful for everyone.” Regarding the secret behind her popularity, she replied, “I think my friendliness made me seem more like the little girl next door and not a celebrity.”

IU was then asked what she’d do if she had a day of free time, in which she replied, “I’d like to sleep.

Asked to choose between “Dream High” and “Heroes,” IU chose singing and expressed her determination in improving her career as a singer.

IU, you will always be relevant. To be honest, this is just the beginning.

The media and her fans need to stop treating her like she's the perfect daughter/little sister/neighbor/etc, because it only puts more pressure on her. Other than that, IU's popularity will definitely continue to climb.

I hope she doesn't stress out too much about losing her popularity. I think she'll be fine.

There really has been so much hype around her, and it's a bit of a double-edged sword. I think for the long run it's better to build gradual recognition and popularity then have it blow-up very quickly because she's right, if she makes any "wrong" moves now it can all fade away just as fast as it built up. Poor girl is so young and she's already feeling this immense pressure :/ I'm glad she's honest about her feelings.

Honestly I love IU, but I'm worried about her getting overexposed. She's so talented and I'm happy she's getting some much derseved attention, but people can be so fickle sometimes.
