IU asks for help for earth quake victims in Japan

I am sure everyone knows about the recent huge earthquake that happened in Japan which sent a tsunami and destroyed many things. In order to help with the aid efforts for the Japanese, IU went on a show to ask for help for the Japanese victims.





Will try to find english subs of these videos. But on a side note, please do try to help the relief efforts as much as possible, be it donating food or donating cash. Every amount counts no matter how little =)

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!! =)
