Back in December, the singer confirmed that she was working on a new album to be released in early 2024. At the time, her agency EDAM Entertainment also confirmed that she had filmed a music video for an upcoming release starring BTS’ V, though it is not clear if this will be for ‘Love Wins’.
IU’s last solo release was her 2021 mini-album ‘Pieces’, which comprised several unreleased tracks that she had written and composed herself. In the same year, she also dropped her fifth full-length studio album, ‘Lilac’.
The singer has participated in a string of collaborations in the past few years, the most recent of which was BTS rapper Suga’s ‘People Pt. 2’ in April 2023. The song had been the pre-release single to his solo studio album ‘D-Day’, which arrived later that month.
Meanwhile, BTS‘ Suga is the face of Valentino’s latest menswear campaign for its 2024 S/S collection, Valentino The Narratives.
