During her show on March 9, 2024, IU surprised one lucky couple when her staff members invited them backstage after the concert.

The couple, who became known as the “firefly couple” after attending IU’s 11th fan meeting in firefly costumes in 2019, a reference to IU’s K-Drama Hotel Del Luna, shared their experience with IU on X (formerly known as Twitter) and discussed how they came to be recognized by the star soloist, a story that began a year before IU’s 11th fan meeting.
