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.
Nigerian reality star and actor Adeoluwa Okusaga, also known as Saga, shares that kissing scenes on screen are not something actors actually enjoy.
The actor shared in a recent interview that kissing is usually scripted and often has no real emotion attached to it.
“It is not easy to kiss another actor. It is weird. I have not really had any good onscreen kiss. It is weird having people invade your mouth with saliva.
“It is not something we enjoy. People think we enjoy it, but we don’t. We are just doing it for the story most times. If I had my way, I won’t kiss anyone in a film… There was a day I kissed four different girls on set.”
Nigerian actress Tonto Dikeh speaks on her failed marriage and the truth behind it. It can be noted that the actress was previously married to Churchill.
The actress revealed that she was the one who paid for their wedding, stating that she even paid for his outfit.
She also shared that while she was pregnant, she still handled the wedding expenses alone.
Popular American rapper Megan Thee Stallion announces that she is stepping out of the Broadway musical Moulin Rouge! The Musical.
It can be noted that she is leaving earlier than planned, and it can be recalled that the singer recently got emotional on stage amid a breakup caused by cheating from her boyfriend.
The singer announced her exit on social media to her fans: “Unfortunately, my last performance on Moulin Rouge! The Musical will be May 1. It’s been such an honor to be part of Moulin Rouge and I’ve met so many amazing people in this theater!”
Many fans expressed disappointment, while others sent her love based on understanding and deemed the breakup unfair to her.
