IU Reveals Original Artists for Upcoming Remake Album '꽃갈피 셋'

On May 17, IU unveiled concept photos for her highly anticipated third remake album, '꽃갈피 셋', set to release on May 27. The photos parody the album covers of the original artists whose songs she will be remaking, sparking excitement and speculation among fans about which tracks will be included.

The first set of concept photos features five images that pay homage to the album covers of artists such as Park Hye-kyung, Seo Taiji, Roller Coaster, Shin Jung-hyun, and White. Based on fan theories, the songs IU is likely to cover include White's 'Dream Come True', Seo Taiji's 'Seotaiju 7th Issue', Roller Coaster's 'Absolute', Park Hye-kyung's 'Feel Me', and tracks from Shin Jung-hyun's '신중현 골든' album.

'꽃갈피 셋' marks the third installment in IU's '꽃갈피' series, which reinterprets classic songs with her unique emotional touch and lyrical voice. The previous albums, '꽃갈피' released in 2014 and '꽃갈피 둘' in 2017, were met with great acclaim, making this upcoming release particularly significant as it returns after an eight-year hiatus. Additionally, this album comes over a year after her last mini-album, 'The Winning', released in February 2024, heightening anticipation among fans and the general public alike.

Fans are eager to see how IU will infuse her own style into these beloved tracks, as she has previously received praise for her renditions of songs like 'Autumn Morning', 'Your Meaning', and 'Rain on a Sleepless Night', all of which showcased her ability to reinterpret original works while preserving their charm.

Mark your calendars for the release of '꽃갈피 셋' on May 27 at 6 PM, available on various music streaming platforms.
