IU has already proven that she has a wonderful working relationship with Suga. However, the “Red Shoes” singer was initially undecided on working with the “Daechwita” rapper. As it turns out, IU had a different BTS member that she wanted to work with in the past!
IU Reveals First BTS Member She Wanted to Collaborate With
In a recent revelation on the latest episode of “Suchwita”, IU shared an interesting anecdote about her collaboration preferences, indicating that Suga was not initially the BTS member she had in mind for a musical partnership. The revelation offers fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse into IU’s creative process and the dynamics that led to her collaborations with BTS members.
Surprisingly, IU initially sought to collaborate with RM and not Suga. When asked about the type of song she would have created with RM, IU hinted that it might have been “something really serious,” reflecting her mindset at the time. However, despite obtaining RM’s contact information from Suga, IU never reached out to the BTS leader.
IU confessed that even asking for RM’s contact details required a significant amount of courage. However, being unfamiliar with RM and lacking a pre-existing connection, she hesitated to make the call and ultimately abandoned the idea of collaboration. It highlights the challenges artists may face in reaching out to potential collaborators, especially when there isn’t a pre-established relationship.
Interestingly, IU’s shift in interest led to the creation of “Eight,” a song that eventually became a collaboration with Suga. During the creative process, IU realized that working with someone her age would be more fitting for the project, and she deemed Suga, a fellow 1993-liner, as the ideal collaborator. The decision resulted in the successful and well-received collaboration between IU and Suga on “Eight.”
This revelation adds depth to the narrative surrounding IU’s creative journey and showcases the intricate decision-making process that artists undergo when selecting collaborators. It also sheds light on the organic nature of creative partnerships, where unexpected choices can lead to the development of meaningful and successful projects. Fans appreciate the transparency and authenticity shared by IU, providing them with a deeper understanding of the artist’s mindset and artistic evolution.
