Singer IU showed off her new blond hair for the first time in a self-taken photo.

On October 9th, someone from IU's agency LOEN Entertainment uploaded a photo of IU onto a social networking site. In the photo IU is making a "V" with her thumb and forefinger and holding it up to her face. What's especially noteworthy is her wavy blond hair as she stares into the camera, bringing to life the scent of a goddess in the photo. Although she isn't wearing a lot of makeup, her eyes and eyebrows are accented, and her lips are a reddish tint. Her makeup, coupled with her see-through black clothes, highlight her sexiness.

Internet users commented on IU's blond hair photo by saying things like "She's really pretty," "IU is finally a woman," and "IU is so cute."

IU released her 3rd album Modern Times on the 7th, and has been busy with activities promoting her new songs.
