IU is considering on using Twitter as a new way to communicate with fans

Singer IU, who just recently came out with her 2nd full-length album, “Last Fantasy”, revealed that she was considering to finally jump on the bandwagon and join Twitter in order to communicate with her fans.

Social networking sites like Twitter and me2day are considered popular mediums for celebrities to communicate on a daily basis with each other and their fans. Last July, the surfacing of a fake IU Twitter account led to IU coming forth to publicly confirm that she “does not use Twitter”.



Instead, IU communicates with her fans through her official fan cafe, which is directly managed by her agency, LOEN Entertainment. It is here where she posts updates about album promotions as well as personal photos and selcas. After her falling when she went to collect her ‘Best Song Award‘ at the ’2011 Melon Music Awards’ last week, IU had even submitted a cute post on her fan cafe saying, “The fall was a performance.”

IU’s reason for considering the use of Twitter is because of her upcoming busy schedules for her Japanese advancement. IU’s “Best Album” is slated for release in Japan this coming December 14th, which will be followed up by her first Japanese showcase in January and other various Japanese schedules.



During her upcoming rigorous schedule that is mainly based in Japan, IU feels that the most convenient medium of communication will indeed be Twitter. “Using her official fan cafe for communication is good, but she feels that Twitter will be the most efficient way to interact with not only her fans in Korea, but also her international fans.”

In related news, IU’s newest album has already been topping charts two days into the release, ranking #1 on numerous music sites such as Melon, Bugs, and Mnet.

IU is set to perform her first officlal comeback stage this coming December 2nd through KBS 2TV‘s “Music Bank” with her title track, “You and I“.
