Korean songstress IU will hold an encore concert for "REAL FANTASY 2012" next month, announced her agency Loen Entertainment Monday.

Loen said in a press release that IU will grace the outdoor stage at Seoul's Yongsan War Memorial Peace Plaza for the second round of her concert "REAL FANTASY 2012" set to take place on September 22 and 23.

After holding 11 shows of "REAL FANTASY 2012" in six cities since June, the firm explained that IU hopes to reveal a different side to herself as a singer at the concert since it will be held outside.

"The agency and IU made the decision to hold an encore concert in order to repay fans for their endless support. She is currently working around the clock to perfect her upcoming performances," a Loen official was quoted as saying.

IU, whose real name is Lee Ji-eun, made her debut with her first mini-album "Lost and Found" in September 2008. She has since produced a number of hit songs such as "Boo," "Marshmallow" and "Nagging," a duet with 2AM member Seulong.

The teenage hit maker recently made her return as the emcee to SBS' music program "Inkigayo."
