IU to drop EP 'The Winning' on Feb. 20 after 'Love wins all' hits No. 1
IU will drop her sixth EP “The Winning” on Feb. 20, her agency EDAM Entertainment said Tuesday.
“The Winning” will be IU’s first EP in more than two years, following the release of her special EP “Pieces” in late 2021.
More information about the upcoming EP will be released in the days to come, her agency said.
The pre-release song “Love wins all” dropped on Jan. 24 and received a “Perfect all-kill” status on local streaming charts. “Perfect all-kill” is awarded to songs that have topped Korea’s major daily and real-time streaming charts, including Melon’s Daily and Top 100, Genie’s Top 100 (Daily) and Top 100 (Realtime) and more.
“Love wins all” also became the fastest song by a female artist to top Melon’s Top 100 streaming charts since the chart last renewed in August 2021, hitting No. 1 just an hour after its release.
IU will kick off her “H.E.R” world tour at the KSPO Dome in southern Seoul on March 2. The singer will visit 17 cities around the world, including Singapore, Hong Kong, London, Washington D.C., and more.
