A handwritten letter by a mother who sent her daughter to the IU concert alone has gained much attention online. The letter garnered tons of positive responses from fans worldwide, revealing the heartwarming fan culture of K-Pop.

According to the post, a fan shared that an elementary school student sat beside them during the concert.

A kid who looked to be in elementary school sat next to me and handed me some snacks, saying it was their first time at a concert. The kid seemed to enjoy the concert, and after it was over, I helped her pack her things before going home. But when I got home and opened the snacks, I found a letter written by her mom. I’ve gone to many concerts, but it’s my first time receiving something like this. I was so touched.

They also shared the letter online, touching many netizens and fans.

Hello UAENA! I am the mother of the child going to IU’s concert for the first time. We were lucky enough to score tickets to the concert. Since tickets were only one per person, I had no choice but to send her alone. Although a guardian also went to the concert, their seats were not close together. (I (the mom) failed at scoring tickets).

Honestly, I had many worries about sending her. I was worried that it would be dangerous or that she would be a bother to the other fans, but I couldn’t cancel her ticket, knowing just how much she loves IU. I’ve also tried teaching the basic etiquette for concerts, but because we as parents have never attended a concert before, we might not have taught her everything she needs to know. If my child does something by accident, please let her know. If she did something wrong, she probably did not do it intentionally, as it was her first time at a concert. I apologize. Please forgive her with an open heart. Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys the concert and thank you for reading this long letter.

Fans that read the post were touched and even shared their first time concert experiences.

When I went to my first concert at 17, I arrived early and told the people around me that I was sorry in advance as it was my first concert, but then snacks, tissues, and water started coming from all directions. The world is still kind…

Whenever I go to a concert, there are always girls around me who are 10 years older than me, but they all treat me like a baby. They hug me when I cry, wipe my tears, open my water bottle when I cough, and even try to feed me, hold my hand when I am touched, and laugh when I scream with excitement. At one concert, a fan was one year older than me, so we had fun together.

Wow, I remember the older girls who took care of me when I was in middle school. Because I was a frog in the well I had never been anywhere by myself, so I never went outside of our area until middle school. I didn’t even have a cell phone… But I really wanted to go to the concert, so I went to the fan cafe to find someone to go with me, because I didn’t have a phone.

While the story touched many, some also felt that it was unfortunate that the mother couldn’t go as getting tickets for IU’s concert was very difficult due to the increase of ticket scalpers. On the other hand, IU will continue her world tour and continue to meet with fans all over the world.
