Famed K-pop soloist and actress IU has recently captivated fans not through her music or acting, but through a surprisingly frank admission about her physical stature.

During a recent session with fans on a popular communication platform, IU addressed an inquiry regarding her height. She revealed, “Unnie! What’s your height these days?” by responding, “I was 163.2cm last year, but this year I’ve shrunk to 162.7cm…” This candid answer sparked considerable online chatter.

IU has always been known for her petite stature, previously reported to weigh approximately 44kg. Her latest height disclosure has provided new context to actress Park Joon-geum’s earlier remarks about sharing the same clothing size—158cm and 43kg. While it was previously assumed that IU and Park were of similar dimensions, the new information indicates IU stands closer to 162–163cm, offering her a slightly more proportionate, albeit still delicate frame.

Since her debut, IU has consistently maintained a slender figure. She shared on a variety show that her weight typically fluctuates in the low 40kg range, at one point fitting into children’s clothing sizes as small as “size 33 and a half, ” an indication of her petite proportions.

In an honest reflection during her appearance on “Pinggyego” earlier this year, IU discussed her evolving eating habits.“I used to love sweets so much, and I would gain weight mostly in my face, ” she admitted.“However, at some point, I just stopped wanting to eat as much. My appetite has diminished, and I think my stomach has gotten smaller too.”

This revelation has prompted a tapestry of reactions from her fanbase, embodying both concern and admiration. While many commend her for her transparency, they also express wishes that she continues to prioritize her health above everything else.
