South Korean soloist IU is set to perform her 2024 IU HEREH WORLD TOUR concert in Manila today, and she has a special surprise for her Filipino fans!
Yesterday, Uaenas who visited the Philippine Arena in Bulacan were thrilled to hear IU rehearsing a beloved OPM song, and it’s none other than “Pasilyo” by Sunkissed Lola!
Even though the fans could only listen in from outside the building, they could already hear her beautiful cover, filling them with excitement and anticipation for the concert.

Filipinos are especially excited about her song choice because of its heartfelt lyrics. They explained that “Pasilyo” talks about wanting to spend your entire life with the person you love, which they see as IU’s way of expressing her deep connection to fans.
Since it got spoiled already, IU will sing a Filipino love song ‘PASILYO’. The song is about choosing & wanting to spend the rest of your life with the person you love 😭😭😭

for intl uaenas, imagine the person you love waiting for you at the altar to marry you. that’s the easiest way to explain the meaning of ‘pasilyo’ 😭 the words used were deep & definitely a kind of song IU would write & love 😭

“Pasilyo” speaks of the singer’s desire to stand next to the person she loves forever and for the two to be together for the rest of their lives. The chorus, which is a repetition of words “Ikaw at ikaw” emphasizes that it can only be that person, thus what it translates to “YOU”
