IU has shared a cute and fun music video for her catchy track “Twenty-Three” off her new mini album!

Her mini-album “Chat-shire” was released on October 23 at 12 a.m. KST, and the MV for “Twenty-Three” was dropped at the same time. The album will be available in stores on October 27.

The video features IU traveling through a Wonderland-like world as she goes back and forth between just what kind of grown-up she wants to be, now that she’s 23 years old (in Korean reckoning).
