TV] Not Crying" was the title of the video.
The video includes footage from the 2024 IU HEREH WORLD concert held at Asue Arena Osaka from July 6th to 7th.
IU said, "It's been a long time since I've been to Osaka. I really missed you," and "When I was active in Japan 11 years ago, I went to Japan.
I had the impression that the audiences in Osaka were very focused and calm, but I remember that for some reason the audiences in Osaka were loud and passionate.
"I guess I'm in a better mood now because it's been a while since I've been here," he said. He added, "The audience just reminded me of a certain image."
IU also said, "When I arrived to work earlier, there were a few fans on the street on the way to the concert venue. So,
I apologize for the inconvenience, but a really long time ago when I was working in Japan, there was someone who would come by from time to time to take pictures of me."
At the same time, she said, "She was the one who always came running to me with a smile and took pictures of me, but I haven't seen her in a long time.
Today, however, instead of taking a photo, she loudly said to me, 'IU, it's been a long time,'" he recalled.
In addition, IU said, "So, why did he do this?
I wondered if they would be my audience for such a long time. I was so moved that they kept their feelings even though I had come to Osaka to perform after such a long time.
"I was grateful," he said, "and it reminded me of the face of the person who will be in the audience today, and I felt very sad."
I'm so grateful to everyone for coming to see me like this," he said, his heart warming as he nearly cried.
