South Korean Soloist IU Celebrates as She Hits 10 Million YouTube Subscribers
South Korean singer-songwriter and actress IU, whose real name is Lee Ji-eun, has achieved a remarkable milestone by surpassing 10 million subscribers on her official YouTube channel, ‘이지금 [IU Official]’.
Notably, this accomplishment, reached on April 6, 2025, grants her the prestigious Diamond Play Button from YouTube, an award given to channels that reach the 10 million subscriber mark.
Earlier, IU launched her YouTube channel in February 2017, and over the past eight years, it has become a hub for diverse content. The channel features behind-the-scenes footage, music videos, live performances, and her original variety program, IU’s Palette.
Additionally, this variety has allowed fans to gain an intimate glimpse into her artistic journey and personal experiences. The channel reached one million subscribers by May 2019 and surpassed five million by January 2021.
Also, to commemorate this achievement, IU posted a short video on her channel capturing the moment her subscriber count crossed the 10 million threshold. In the video, she is seen holding a tablet displaying the real-time subscriber count.
As the numbers approached 10 million, IU’s excitement was palpable. Accompanied by her manager, they celebrated the milestone with car honks and clapping. In addition, IU expressed her gratitude to her subscribers and promised to bring more engaging content in the future.
She playfully updated the subscriber count in real-time, saying, “Thank you for 10 million and 13 subscribers,” followed by, “Thank you for 10 million and 15 subscribers,” leading her manager to humorously comment that the video might never end if she continued updating the count.
Popular Nigerian Influencer Papaya Ex stirs up reactions from fans as she shows up in a questionable look to Priscilla’s wedding.

Fans reacted and questioned the choice of position for the picture. Many called out the influencer and make up rumors to the influencer being a husband snatcher.
Controversial singer Portable has warned that anyone who defames him will face legal consequences.
The artist, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, made the statement in a viral video. It was made after his recent arrest over a defamation case involving fuji legend Saheed Osupa.
Portable, who was briefly remanded at Oke Kura Correctional Centre in Ilorin, made it clear that he now fully understands the weight of defamation charges and won’t hesitate to press charges against anyone who tries to tarnish his name.
“Anyone who talks bad about me will be arrested,” he said. “They’ve done it to me, and I’ll do it to others too. No mercy.” He was later released on bail after Saheed Osupa decided to withdraw the petition.
Justin Bieber has shut down rumours suggesting he’s gone broke. The 31-year-old pop star, through a statement from his team on Wednesday, dismissed the claims as nothing but “clickbait stupidity.”
He believes the false reports are coming from people who are bitter because they’re no longer a part of his team.
The response was triggered by a Hollywood Reporter article where a former team member alleged that Bieber was deep in debt.
This comes after the Justice World Tour was scrapped following repeated postponements linked to his health challenges.
Speaking to Us Weekly, Bieber’s reps fired back, saying the story was based on unverified claims from people who clearly don’t know what they’re talking about.
They added that Justin is focused on moving forward and staying on the right path, and no amount of gossip will shake that.
The tour, which was meant to kick off in 2020, faced multiple delays — first because of COVID-19, and later due to Bieber’s battle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which caused temporary facial paralysis. By March 2023, the rest of the tour dates were officially cancelled.
