IU Announces Release of Third Remake Album 'Flower Bookmark 3'

Singer IU (아이유) is set to return with her third remake album titled '꽃갈피 셋' (Flower Bookmark 3) on May 27 at 6 PM KST, as announced by her agency, EDAM Entertainment.

'꽃갈피 셋' is the latest installment in IU's 'Flower Bookmark' series, which reinterprets classic songs with her unique emotional touch and lyrical voice. The series has previously seen great success with '꽃갈피' (Flower Bookmark) released in 2014 and '꽃갈피 둘' (Flower Bookmark 2) in 2017. This upcoming album marks the series' return after nearly eight years, making it a significant release for fans. Additionally, it comes about 15 months after her sixth mini-album '더 위닝' (The Winning), raising anticipation among both fans and the general public.

The album cover features a nostalgic, faded film photo aesthetic, evoking a warm, analog feel. In the image, IU leans against an old public telephone, gazing at the camera, which naturally stirs feelings of nostalgia from that era.

Throughout the 'Flower Bookmark' series, IU has delivered various remakes, including '가을 아침' (Autumn Morning), '너의 의미' (Your Meaning), and '잠 못 드는 밤 비는 내리고' (The Rain Falls on a Sleepless Night), receiving acclaim for her ability to reinterpret the original songs while preserving their charm. Fans are eager to see which tracks IU will infuse with her unique sensibility in '꽃갈피 셋'.

IU continues to be active in both music and acting. Last year, she held a solo concert at the Sangam World Cup Stadium and was recognized as the 'Number One Korean Artist' by Billboard. Recently, she made a strong impression as an actress in the Netflix global hit '폭싹 속았수다' (My Name is Noona), where she played dual roles.

Fans can look forward to IU's new album '꽃갈피 셋', available on various music streaming platforms starting May 27 at 6 PM KST.
