IU left a mark on South Korea’s music scene after managing to sell out the Olympic Gymnastics Arena, also known as KSPO Dome, for two dates in a row in November, becoming the first South Korean female solo artist to do so.
Presale tickets for fan club members are available from 8 p.m. Thursday, while general ticket sales begin Dec. 11.
