Responding to fans' questions about her current height, IU said that last year she was 163.2 cm tall, but this year it has dropped to 162.7 cm.
IU also previously revealed her weight on a variety show, saying she fluctuated between 40kg. When she was at her heaviest, she even wore children's clothes.
Due to her small stature, people often confuse the singer's height and weight.
IU has clarified that when she gains weight, her face becomes more noticeable. However, over time, her cravings gradually decreased and the female singer maintained her weight.
Meanwhile, IU has just finished the drama When Life Gives You Tangerines and returned to music with her third cover album A Flower Bookmark 3 on May 27.
Lee Ji-eun is commonly known by his stage name IU. She is a Korean singer, songwriter and actress. She became a trainee at LOEN Entertainment (now Kakao Entertainment) in 2008 and debuted as a singer at the age of 15 with the album Lost and Found.
Although the two following albums, Growing Up and IU... IM, have both achieved success in the domestic market, it was not until "Good Day" - the lead single from the 2010 album Real, was released that IU achieved the status of a national star.
