So Jae Won, who wrote the book behind movie 'Wish', spoke up about the IU-"Zeze" controversy.
'Wish' (also 'Hope') is a movie about a young girl who is raped by a drunken man on her way to school. It draws the story about the pain and suffering and finally healing she and her family go through.
In an interview with CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun Jung's News Show', he said, "The most problematic part is the interpretation of a five year old child in the book. The problem begins where IU expresses an abused child as a sexual figure. It's also problematic that he was drawn wearing fishnets in a pin-up pose."
On explanations that 'Zeze' of the book and IU's title were different characters, he said, "She even put the title as 'Zeze', and to say it's a different character is contradictory. The title is the most sensitive topic to artists because it's the part where the artist first shows the readers their meaning. The label saying that the character is unrelated seems to be pushing it."
He added, "The freedom of interpretations must be protected. However, the reason why she's being criticized is because she showed the public and called it art. You definitely cannot make people who are reading it feel pain. But her 'Zeze' made people think of child abuse and child sexual assault."
He concluded, "The 'Zeze' song and MV should be taken down."

We have some mind blowing news to report. Nation's younger sister IU may be off the market! Dispatch has reported she and musician Chang Kiha (age 33) are currently in a relationship.
The two are said to have officially began dating this past March, and Dispatch caught several photos of the two together on dates, which took place mostly at each other's houses. Even with busy schedules, the two are said to have made time to meet each other.
It's a bit of surprise, as the two have a large age gap, 11 years to be exact. But the coupe were said to have gotten close through talking about music. Chang Kiha is a member of the indie rock band Kiha & The Faces.
