Singer IU has unveiled the tracklist for her forthcoming mini-album, ‘The Winning.’ The five-track record, which will be released on 20th February, includes two title tracks, ‘Shopper’ and ‘Spore,’ as well as a collaboration with NewJeans member Hyein and Cho Won-sun, a singer-songwriter of Korean rock band Roller Coaster, on the B-side ‘Shh…’ The mini-album will also feature previously released single ‘Love Wins All’ and ‘I Stan U.’ All five tracks were written solely by IU.
IU’s online talk show, ‘IU’s Palette,’ featured NewJeans last year, where she praised Hyein’s vocals after the group performed a medley from their mini-album ‘Get Up,’ noting that she sang “as if she was in the recording booth.” Last week, IU explained why she cast BTS’ V in the music video for ‘Love Wins All’ in a behind-the-scenes clip for the visual, revealing that the male lead should “possess the mood of a young boy” while giving off “a very cool and reliable feeling.”
Meanwhile, IU has been confirmed to feature in the upcoming K-drama from Netflix, titled ‘When Life Gives You Tangerines’ (working title), co-starring with ‘Reply 1988’ actor Park Bo-gum.
