“After careful consideration, the company and IU recently determined that her current ear condition would make it difficult for her to proceed with scheduled performances. With her health as our highest priority, we have decided to adjust her upcoming concert schedule, including the concert at Goyang Stadium originally scheduled for this September, as well as the release schedule for her sixth full-length album.”

Hours later, the artist shared a heartfelt letter through her fan platform, Berriz, sharing more details of her symptoms and her chronic patulous Eustachian tube dysfunction:
“My ear symptoms have always been erratic, fluctuating between good and bad, but recently, they have persisted day and night for days at a time, and I have repeatedly found it difficult to regain my form while singing.”
