SunKissed Lola received the biggest surprise from South Korean sensation Lee Ji-eun (commonly known as IU), as she covered “Pasilyo” during the Philippine leg of her H.E.R.E.H World Tour at the Philippine Arena last Saturday, June 1, 2024.
While her local “Uaenas” roared to fill up the 50,000-seated dome in her awaited return, she covered the OPM rock collective’s chart-topping track, stunning the band who took their reactions to X (formerly Twitter).
mareng IU naman bakit nanggugulat @_IUofficial

“Mareng IU naman bakit nanggugulat (IU, our friend, why did you surprise us?),” they wrote.
Supported by pre-recorded backing vocals, she followed the track, culminating in an electric “Ikaw at ikaw,”. Apart from “Pasilyo,” IU gifted her audience as well with live renditions of “Celebrity,” “Strawberry Moon,” “Palette,” “You & I,” and “Love Wins All” among others.
Fans of the now most-attended soloist in the Philippine Area and SunKissed Lola took the news of the feature online, with several jokingly petitioning to change the song’s spelling.
