[TRANS] IU - Interview Shin Dong-Ah
English Translation: TheZeno001 @YT
NOTE: First half the person was translated as if he/she was talking about IU.
She failed about 15 times, but she didn’t get discouraged because during those days, she was determined that she will eventually become a singer one day.
During her training, she spent many days by herself. Instead of receiving formal lessons, she spent countless hours in her room singing and playing the guitar. She didn’t receive guitar lessons. She learned by looking at other stars and composers. She lacks many basic and intermediate guitar skills. If the composers give her a tip, she would go to her room and practice that all day. For 4-5 months, she would start practicing right after she woke up and practiced all day until bed time.

[NEWS] 2011.02.17 IU Trying for 5 Hit Streak?
IU is looking to extend her streak to 5 by landing her newest song into the number 1 spot.
IU’s new song “Story I didn’t know” is attempting for an ‘all kill’ by taking over the music charts, on and offline.
On Melon, the song is currently in 1st place, and “Someday” IU’s song from Dream High OST is in second place, effectively making the battle for first place IU vs IU.
Soribada has listed “Story I Didn’t Know” as first place and another song from her mini album “Cruel Fairy Tale” as second.
She is ranked first place in “Monkey 3” as well as Mnet.com.
IU has been getting first place with all of her songs that she has released since June of last year, starting with Nagging. From Nagging, to It’s You with Sung Si Kyung, and Good Day, her songs have been at the top every time.
With Someday being a big hit, it’s likely that her new song will continue this trend to extend her streak to 5.
It’s ironic how IU’s songs that were released before the new album are still in the running for the top song, putting IU against IU.
