Our next story is on a female artist?

IU has taken over the music charts with her latest remake album "A Flower Bookmark, Pt.3". The new album, released on Tuesday, immediately climbed to the top of major domestic music charts, including Melon, Melon, Genie, and Bugs. The title track, "Never Ending Story," secured the No.1 spot on these platforms, with all tracks from the album entering the charts.

"A Flower Bookmark, Pt.3" marks IU's return to her remake series 8 years after she released "A Flower Bookmark, Pt.2" in 2017, and it's her first release in about a year after her previous release "The Winning."

The new album consists of six tracks in total, including the title track "Never Ending Story," "Red Shoes," "A Beautiful Person," and "Square's Dream."

The music video for "Never Ending Story," features IU herself, and the second music video "A Beautiful Person" attracted a lot of attention even before its release with actor Cha Eun-woo's cameo.

IU's remake album "A Flower Bookmark, Pt. 3" is available on various music platforms and the music videos are available on IU's official YouTube channel.
