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.
It has been reported that a home break-in at the residence of famous American actor Brad Pitt has occurred. Luckily for the actor, he is currently on tour with the press for his latest movie, “F1: The Movie,” so the suspect did not encounter him.
Investigators are currently on the case to find the culprit and are tightening the security of the actor’s home, according to reports.
The investigators initially revealed that it was three different suspects who broke into the actor’s home and fled the scene after causing damage. Brad Pitt and his team have yet to comment on the incident as further investigation proceeds.
Nigerian content creator Egungun of Lagos takes to social media to celebrate his wife’s birthday. The creator shared a heartfelt birthday wish to his wife, Pashotah, on his Instagram page, which touched a lot of fans’ hearts.
He then recalled the first time he was even trying to find a girl and appreciated that he now has a wife:
“Ten years ago, I was asked by a friend to find him a girl from YabaTech because he had more money than me.”
“Honestly, I had no idea I would end up marrying the very girl I introduced to him. He literally gave me ₦3,000 to bring you to his house in Ajah. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY LOVE. She has really been amazing.”
Nigerian actress Kudirat Ogunro expresses appreciation and gratitude towards colleague Funke Akindele for her praise and comments about her.
The actress took to her official Instagram page to share a photo of herself with Funke Akindele and shared heartfelt messages and appreciation for her support.
“Dear Lord, as we step into July, I pray for guidance, protection, and blessings. May this month bring joy, peace, and prosperity to all. Grant us wisdom, strength, and good health. May our dreams and aspirations be fulfilled, and may we walk in faith and love. Amen.”
“@funkejenifaakindele thank you mama for the prayers. Mi o ni wa yin ti lagbara Olorun. Amin.”
Fans were awed by the actresses’ friendship and wished Funke Akindele well for her kindness towards other people.
