Singer IU has been chosen as ‘No. 1 South Korean artist’ by Billboard.

According to EDAM Entertainment on Wednesday, IU has been selected as Korea’s representative for Billboard’s Global No. 1 artist series.

“While there are many individuals who excel as popular idols, talented musicians, actors and hosts, IU is the only person who succeeds in all of these roles simultaneously,” Billboard said. “From making music to acting on screen, IU can seemingly do it all – and she commands unparalleled love and support from K-pop fans and the broader Korean music community.”

Billboard analyzed IU’s remarkable success this year. “Love Wins All” topped the Melon Top 100 chart just one hour after its release, maintaining the weekly No. 1 spot for four consecutive weeks and claiming No. 1 on the February monthly chart. She completed the largest world tour by a Korean female solo artist, drawing 500,000 fans across 31 shows in 12 countries.
