What is Lee Ji Eun's Net Worth?

Lee Ji Eun was born on May 16, 1993, in Seoul, South Korea. As a child, her family was forced to separate due to her parents' poor financial circumstances. She and her younger brother moved into a tiny apartment in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, where their poverty-stricken grandmother and cousin resided while her parents lived elsewhere.

On April 23, 2009, Eun launched her first studio album – "Growing Up." Having to take on the persona of an adorable child carrying a dark, heavy message, she wasn't comfortable in the role. As a fifteen-year-old, she disliked the childish costumes and hairstyles.

LOEN Entertainment assigned Lee Ji Eun to the stage name IU, which means that I and you become one person through music. On September 18, 2008, she performed her debut single "Lost Child" on the South Korean music program "M Countdown." The single, from an extended play album "Lost and Found," earned hurtful insults from the crowd. The following month, despite the terrible reception, South Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism awarded Eun the Rookie of the Month Award. The EP was not successful.

Later that year, Eun began hosting a weekly television music show on Bom TV and guest-starred on radio programs such as Kiss The Radio, Volume Up on KBS Cool FM, and Best Friend Radio on MBC FM4U.

As a youngster, Eun knew she wanted to be an entertainer and began training with South Korean singers and actresses Uee, Jun Hyo-seong, Yubin, and Heo Gayoon. In 2007, the South Korean talent agency LOEN Entertainment signed her on as a client, and she relocated to Seoul, where living conditions were not much better than what she'd had in Gyeonggi Province.

Lee Ji Eun is a South Korean singer, songwriter, and actress who has a net worth of $15 million. Lee Ji Eun is best known for her hit single "Good Day," which American music magazine Billboard ranked as one of the best songs of the 2010s. She is also known for her portrayal of Kim Pil-sook, one of a group of high school students who are determined to become K-pop stars in the award-winning television series "Dream High."

In 2012, she graduated from Dongduk Girls' High School and decided to pursue a career in singing rather than attend college.

During the summer of 2010, her single "Nagging" – a duet with South Korean singer Lim Seul-ong – reached number one on the Gaon Digital Chart and remained there for three weeks. The song was played in season two of the South Korean reality-variety show "We Got Married." Her next release – the single "Because I'm a Woman" – reached number six on the chart and was used in the South Korean television series "Road No. 1."
