So, internet is now a bit cheaper, the phone company (yeah, here there's just one ๐) has new pricing policies. Now my monthly pack grew to 8gb, pricing on 1/6 my salary. Hell of an improvement, right? I still can't afford to properly do your every day fan stuff though. YAY ME ๐ฅฒ
Just a heads up: I live in a country were an internet pack for 3GB a month costs ยฝ of my entire salary ๐ฅฒ things like streaming on YouTube or even access Spotify at all are a hard NoNo. I'm heavily incapacitated to engage proper fan activities, believe me, if I could I would ๐ฅฒ

Few artists in K-pop history have held the charts the way IU has.
From topping them at 15 to leading #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines, the most-watched KDrama of 2025, she has built one of the most enduring careers in Korean entertainment. She turns 33 today.

Thank you for being born,
