IU has posted a live clip of 이 별로부터 (Unknown Planet) to 이지금 [IU Official], the YouTube channel that carries her own releases. The “Live Clip” tag marks the upload as a performance recording rather than a scripted music video.

이별 and 이 별 — one space, two words

Korean is written with spaces between words, and the space in this title is doing real work. 이별 (ibyeol) is a single noun meaning parting or separation. 이 별, with the gap, is two words: the demonstrative 이, meaning this, followed by 별, star or planet. The title keeps the gap, and the official English rendering — Unknown Planet — follows the planet reading rather than the parting one. Close the gap and the identical letters say something else entirely. The hashtag in the description, #이별로부터, is unspaced, because Korean hashtags never carry spaces.

About this release

This is a live clip of 이 별로부터 (Unknown Planet), published on 17 September 2026 on 이지금 [IU Official], which also holds the copyright line. EDAM Entertainment, IU’s agency, appears among the video’s keywords. The official description lists no producer, no featured artist and no credits — only the title and three hashtags.

Watching from outside Korea

If you go looking for this song, copy the Korean title exactly as written, with the space: 이 별로부터. Typed as one word it becomes a different noun, and Korean search results will drift towards unrelated songs about parting.
