2. Event Details – Everything You Need to Know About IU’s “Bye, Summer” Fan Meet-Up
Organized by EDAM Entertainment, the 2025 IU Fan Meet-Up beautifully captured the essence of a warm summer ending.

The song instantly became a fan favorite, with people begging her to release the full version.
The fan meet-up was the perfect place to bring this song to life.
KSPO Dome was transformed into a soft, breezy space filled with pastel visuals, blue gradients, sunset-toned lighting, and a calm, reflective mood. IU didn’t aim for a loud, powerful concert setup. Instead, she created a space that felt personal, emotional, and story-driven, almost like sitting with her and reliving your favorite memories of the season..

It was simple, soothing, and deeply “IU.”
