It’s a huge deal. If you think about it, even if you ranked 100th in the whole school, you did well, and you were in the top 200 in the entire world when you were having a family dinner. If it were my parents in Cheonan, I would have hung up placards and cooked banquet noodles.

The famous American music magazine selected IU and BTS’ Jungkook as ‘The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time’. IU was ranked 135th, and her Jungkook was ranked 191st. This is the first time a Korean singer has been included in this ranking.

IU ranks higher than pop star Christina Aguilera (141st), “country music legend” Merle Haggard (138th), and Lauryn Hill (136th), who has won 8 Grammy Awards, the most prestigious award in the American pop music industry. Behind her Jungkook are Kelly Clarkson (#194) and Billie Eilish (#198).

Despite her success at a young age, she was known to be very hardworking and humble.”
