Japanese record labels compete for IU


Japanese record labels have been calling IU, with the hopes of replicating smashing success of fellow Korean singers Kara and SNSD.

It’s no surprise that she’s attracted the attention of Japanese labels, as she’s been nothing but popular since her “Good Day” comeback. But she’s become even more of a hot commodity because of her role in KBS’s hit drama, “Dream High“, which will be airing in Japan soon and is expected to garner high ratings.

Her management company said that they were “willing to consider a Japanese debut, but we’re in no hurry as we’d like to solidify our domestic position first.”

Really hope that she can be as successful in Japan as Kara and SNSD. Let's cheer for her!! =)
