Singer/actress IU has earned her first recognition for a role in a big-screen film!

On September 30, IU was announced as the winner of the 'Rookie Female Actress' award at the 'Chunsa International Film Festival' for her role in 'Broker' (2022). The film's director Koreeda Hirokazu also won the 'Director Award' on this day.

This marks IU's first ever award recognition for her performance in a film, a meaningful achievement for the multi-talented star!

Meanwhile, IU was unable to attend the 'Chunsa International Film Festival' and accept her award in person, due to close contact with a COVID-19 positive case.
