IU Wrote “Celebrity” for A Friend and the People Who Receive Love and Hate
However, the highlight of the 36th Golden Disc Awards 2022 was when IU delivered her inspiring acceptance speech for her Digital Song of the Year (Daesang) title.
In her speech, IU stated that the song that got her this title, Celebrity, was created to encourage her friend. After all, this friend of IU had been receiving so much love and hate because of her uniqueness. That is why she wanted to tell her friend that “You’re not eccentric. You’re a star!” [Eccentric in Korean = byeol-nan, while star = byeol].
However, the song then brought her to think about herself and those who experienced similar cases to her friend. After all, there are so many people who experience being loved and hated by those around them.
“I wrote the song ‘Celebrity’ because I wanted to tell a friend who received so much love and hate for her uniqueness, ‘You’re not eccentric, but like a star.’
But as I was writing, it also felt like I was writing about myself and about everyone who has received both love and hate. So I want to thank again that friend who inspired me. You were such a wonderful friend, and I hope that you can continue to inspire me in the future.”
IU (Lee Ji Eun).
IU Inspiring Acceptance Speech: “I Hope Everyone Will Continue to Love and Hate Me”
On top of everything, after expressing her gratitude to the fans and the people who have supported her for the last 10 years, IU closed her Digital Daesang acceptance speech at the Golden Disc Awards 2022. In her closing statement, IU stated a public wish for everyone to keep loving and hating her.
“In my 30s, which are about to begin, instead of competing with my past self, I’m going to live well as I am and how I will become. I’m still lacking in many ways, but I hope that everyone will continue to love and hate me. All of that is my driving force.”
