IU glorified the cover of Harper’s Bazaar fashion magazine for the March issue.

Under the theme of 'duality', the photoshoots have captured two faces: IU as the icon of the era vs. a human being. The concept is portrayed in monochromic tones, ranging from the star wearing no makeup, to bold and smokey makeup.

In a close-up interview with the magazine, IU revealed the reason for choosing 'You Have Done Well (working title)’, written by Im Sang-Choon and directed by Kim Won-Suk, as her comeback drama in four years. The star said, “I enjoyed watching previous dramas written by Im Sang-Choon, and the unique plot was especially interesting and attractive to me. As a person who loves to read and write, I am particularly envious of Im Sang-Choon’s writing talents, and am looking forward to immersing myself into the role to convey the messages from the script to the screens. I will be playing the role of ‘Ae-Soon’ who is rebellious and aspires to become a poet even though she is unable to attend school. I like the determination ‘Ae-Soon’ holds.”

IU shared her thoughts on her life in the thirties. IU said, “When I was in my twenties, I lived a life worrying about ‘direction’ and ‘pathways.’ The intense concerns were to some extent a healthy motivation and stress for me, but frankly speaking, it was also extremely tiring. After entering my thirties, I seem to have dropped my concern for direction. I am living a rich life, and at the moment the only concern is to maintain it and enjoy it.”
