After a short tribute video, looking back on all of IU′s achievements as well as praise from noteworthy artists, like Yoo Hee Yoel, Seo Taiji, and more, IU was honored with The Most Popular Vocalist award.
“First of all, this is my first time coming to MAMA and I was worried that I would be nervous. So I would like to thank all those who told that I would have a good experience by coming here, stated IU in her thank you speech.
"If you search IU now, this award will pop up so I will try hard to become a vocalist who does not make this award embarrassing. I would like to thank all the colleagues and sunbaenims who collaborated with me. I worked with a lot of people this year so next year, I will try to show IU who does well on her own too. Lastly, I would like to thank all the fans. Thank you."

At a recent recording of KBS show “Happy Together 3,” the veteran K-pop star spoke in detail about his wife.
Seo Taiji explained that when he was dating Lee Eun Sung, she would often listen to IU songs.
Seo Taiji and IU’s collaboration track, “Sogyeokdong,” is a pre-release track from Seo Taiji’s much-awaited comeback album, and soared straight to the top of several music charts upon its release. Seo Taiji explained that he had not expected the song to be quite as popular as it has been, saying, “I was very surprised that the song hit Number 1 as soon as it was released. I think the fact that IU collaborated on the track is the main reason it has done so well.”
“Happy Together 3,” featuring guest Seo Taiji, will air on October 9 at 11:10 p.m.
