[+1,055, -85] The fools are the ones who let themselves by fooled by her. The many who foamed at the mouth trying to shield her whenever anyone brought it up.<br /><br />2. [+732, -49] IU's MV director even used his son's name as a motel name in a 19+ rated video. Why would he bring his son into that...?<br /><br />3. [+729, -126] IU OUT!<br /><br />4. [+152, -6] It's not even only the people in the industry that knew. It's why the scandal is so big right now. The only people who are claiming they never knew about this lolita concept are IU, Loen, and that MV director. They treated the public like they were too dumb to catch on to these subtle hints they were dropping and playing games with us saying "take a guess" but now that the public has finally caught on and interpreted everything they've thrown at us, they're denying it. Why? They've been dropping these lolita cliches all along and were finally caught for it. What's an even bigger problem is that it wasn't some huge marketing ploy by the agency but all from IU's "artist" head. She's been so blinded by money that she doesn't even know right from wrong anymore.<br /><br />5. [+137, -4] Please get rid of that picture with the baby bottle. It disgusts me every time I see it.<br /><br />6. [+113, -6] I can't stand her MV anymore because of that baby bottle. It's like she couldn't think of any other way to show her appeal as a woman other than this lolita concept. She wants attention from men and doesn't know how else to get it but with these dirty tactics.<br /><br />7. [+109, -7] No, it's not just the industry people. Everyone has found out that IU is a perverted psycho lolita. It's just the people who are trying to act holier than thou and more intelligent than everyone else trying to defend her so that they can show everyone that they're not sheep who have the same opinions as everyone else. They think that it makes them look more intelligent that way. I'm talking about you idiots, Heo Ji Woong, Jin Joong Kwon, and Yoon Jong Shin.<br /><br />8. [+101, -3] Exactly, there's no way that the MV director had all of this happen as a pure coincidence. Even 5 minute YouTube commercials get planned out from start to finish. All of these pedo metaphors were just coincidences? A 23 year old woman sucking on a baby bottle is a coincidence? Makes absolutely no sense. The public aren't fools, we know exactly what white milk and mayonnaise stands for, it stands for cum.<br /><br />-<br /><br /><b>Article</b>: <a href="http://news.nate.com/view/20151109n06885?mid=n1008">Writer So Jae Won responds to IU's 'Zeze' controversy, "She needs to take down the digital song"</a><br /><b><br /></b><b>Source: </b>No Cut News via Nate<br /><br />1.

But our opinions were divided after this scandal happened. He was of the opinion that it didn't matter as long as her music good and that this was a sheep mentality. I asked him how the victims of child abuse would feel having to listen to a song like 'Zeze' and he agreed that this had crossed the line. We love her songs, we love IU's vocal color..... but the solution to this mess is to take the song down.<br /><br />5.

[+1,558, -303] So I can tell they spent the last couple of days trying to figure out how they should handle this...<br /><br />2. [+1,035, -147] I read his entire post from start to finish and it's funny how not one of the things he's listed matches with how the netizens are perceiving the music video. It doesn't fit at all with Loen's clarification that the props were meaningless props either. It's impossible that all of this is just a coincidence.<br /><br />3. [+1,122, -267] IU got too greedy. She didn't think of the consequences and just did whatever she wanted to do.. who did she expect would clean up after her?<br /><br />4. [+1,068, -259] I can't stand anything about her anymore. Proves how important an image is to a star...<br /><br />5. [+995, -198] IU's staff have to be her anti ㅋㅋㅋ<br /><br />6. [+618, -90] Not sure why he only clarified a small portion of the issues (there are more, like the milk spilled on her stomach, the milk spilling out of a flower vase...) Up till now, the lolita references have been so subtle that anyone who brought it up was called a pervert but this album is a full on lolita cliche. And to blame all of this on the netizens for malicious editing, coincidental, and meaningless props? There is no director who throws in mise-en-scene meaninglessly like claimed.<br /><br />7. [+557, -95] The wife of this director made the right choice. I wonder how your own daughter would feel knowing that her father created a music video like this? If you have kids of your own, you better never make music videos of this kind ever again. I don't know who you sold your soul to but this music video is pedophilia through and through. This will come back to haunt you. Put away your pathetic excuse.<br />- Agency claims the props had no meaning, the director claims his assistant director made him do it, IU claims third perspective, critics claim freedom of expression<br /><br />8.

[+11,820, -3,120] Farewell, IU-ssi...<br /><br />5. [+9,300, -2,488] Bye-U~<br /><br />6. [+4,088, -248] I wonder if IU will be able to survive this controversy too...? She survived the Eunhyuk scandal... the 'Red Shoes' scandal was quietly buried under the rug... and everyone mostly congratulated her during her Jang Giha news... how will it go this time?<br /><br />7. [+4,168, -397] Park Myung Soo's curse is coming up true ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Anyone who works with Park Myung Soo for the Infinity Challenge Festival ends up getting into a scandal<br /><br />8. [+3,415, -147] IU put her name on the line for this album. The artist herself should be out clarifying what's going on and making amends.<br /><br />9. [+3,344, -171] All those times IU media played about being an artist is coming back to bite her<br /><br />10. [+3,135, -156] Sigh, Britney Spears' voice can be heard right there in the song. IU's had so many plagiarism controversies but they've all been buried ㅋㅋㅋ She media played so much about this album saying she produced all of it but as it turns out, she only composed a few of the songs and fans are now arguing that she only wrote the lyrics ㅋㅋㅋ<br /><br />11. [+2,466, -147] So enough with the artist media play now<br /><br />12. [+1,640, -49] I'm more shocked about 'Red Shoes' being buried than this...<br /><br />13. [+1,635, -49] If you listen to the original 'Red Shoes' song, it's even more shocking ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ everything's the same minus the highlight ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ<br /><br />14. [+1,407, -65] I love how IU started cosplaying as an artist when she started off singing crappy songs like 'Marshmallow' but as soon as she hit fame, she went around with her guitar pretending to be an artist ㅋㅋㅋ<br /><br />15. [+1,292, -62] Also look up 'Leon' plagiarism on YouTube, it's daebak.<br /><br />16. [+1,255, -37] Media played so hard about producing the entire album all by herself but now that there's a problem, she's completely out of the picture ㅋㅋㅋㅋ<br /><br />17. [+1,218, -36] If you look at all of her media play articles, she states over and over that she produced the entire album from composing and writing everything. But you look at the credits and all of her compositions and lyrics were co-composed with other composers. She barely has any songs she composed by herself and yet she went around cosplaying as an artist. With all of the media play she did about producing the entire album by herself, I don't think she can get off scot free this time. I wish Britney's reps would sue her.<br /><br />18. [+1,227, -48] Ironic how IU stated in her lyrics that she can act however she wanted and people would still love her and yet look at her now. If Britney's reps do choose to sue her for this, we likely won't be seeing IU on broadcast for a while, especially with all that cosplaying she did pretending to be an artist and denying that she's an idol. You reap what you sow.<br /><br />19. [+1,169, -30] I find it hilarious that IU was ever even considered an artist or a singer songwriter when all of the songs that got her to fame like 'Good Day' and 'You and I' were written by other people ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ and here's her album that she claimed was produced by herself and it gets into a plagiarism controversy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ<br /><br />20. [+1,069, -37] Singer songwriter? Musician? Artist? Laughable. All just a made up image through media play.<br /><br />-

Then why didn't she say that from the start, that she just participated in the production of the album. An artist? As if she's an artist. She didn't know? The source wasn't clear? Then isn't it logic that you don't use something you don't know where it's from? Did they go ahead and use it thinking no one would find it? Did she not listen to the song and realize something was off about it? Was she so sure that the public wouldn't catch it?
