Recently, thanks to Dream High (which recently ended ~sob~), an artist named IU has come to my attention. Honestly, I have to admit that I don't follow solo females very closely, since I don't really swing that way, but IU definitely stands out because she's actually quite different from the "norm" of Korean pop music. First off, she is a solo act; second, she has amazing vocals; third, she's awesome live. For the drama, she recorded all of her performances live. Here's one of them, one of my very favorites. (The boy at the beginning is Wooyoung of 2pm, who played the other half of their cute couple. (Seriously, they are too adorable for words.))
Here's the version of her latest music video that features her singing her new single, 나만 몰랐던 이야기 (The Story Only I Didn't Know), with decent English subtitles. Trust me. Not only is the song haunting and beautiful, but it showcases her gorgeous voice perfectly.
And the story version, which features Park Bo-young of Speedy Scandal fame.
