IU turned down lead roles in "The 8 Show" and "Queen of Tears" due to personal and work conflicts. She withdrew from both productions in April and May 2022, respectively. In August of the same year, she signed on to "I Was Fooled" which is now in post-production. 

["Queen of Tears" was a mega hit, and "The 8 Show" is currently #2 on Netflix's global chart after Brigerton Season 3.]
