Popular singer IU is gearing up for a long-awaited return to her music career, with a new album slated for release in May. This will be her first album drop in more than a year, following the release of her 6th mini album, The Winning, back in February 2024.

Insiders from the music industry revealed that IU is in the final stages of preparing for her upcoming album. Fans can anticipate a special treat in the form of a music video featuring a cameo by ASTRO member and actor Cha Eun Woo, following their successful collaboration in a previous jewelry brand campaign earlier this year.

The pair's on-screen chemistry has been highly praised, with fans eagerly awaiting their joint appearance in the music video, which many are dubbing a "dream visual pairing."

Apart from her musical endeavors, IU has been actively involved in acting, recently starring in the Netflix series "When Life Gives You Tangerines", where she portrayed dual roles. Furthermore, she is set to star alongside Byun Woo Seok in the upcoming MBC drama 21st Century Lady, scheduled for release in the first half of next year.

On the other hand, Cha Eun Woo is keeping busy with various projects as well. He is currently working on the new Netflix series The Wonderfuls and is preparing for ASTRO's fourth solo concert in June at Inspire Arena in Incheon.
