“I’m at the IU concert right now (I already made plans with my friend to come and we couldn’t cancel) and she sang ‘Zezé.’ Before she sang it she said, ‘I’m going to sing a song that I still love regardless,’ and the music came on…I’m getting shivers..”

[Instiz]
hmmm…
I know she did this to show people that Zezé wasn’t meant to be portrayed like that but she should have been more careful..
Did she really have to do this …
Even if people are wrong, she was too rash to do such a thing..
[Pann]
[+ 220, – 12] If that is true…IU scares me..We can’t tell her she’s wrong for cherishing her song but I don’t think it’s right to be so stern about it when there’s such a big controversy. Even if she did not mean it, too many people were wounded by her portrayal of ‘Zeze.’ I’m not saying she shouldn’t sing the song but her comment was overboard..
[+ 208, – 6] Even if ‘Zeze’ wasn’t that kind of song if there were that much controversy surrounding it she should not have said such a thing.
[+ 188, – 8] I don’t know…did she really have to say that at a time like this?

Heo Ji Woong wrote on his Twitter on November 5, "It is wrong of a publication company to propose an extremely strict guideline in the interpretation of literature. Interpretation of all literature can be rediscovered moment to moment through one's own will and capability. Zeze would not agree with the publication company."
What are your thoughts? The debate is heating up...

During her commemorative talk event 'CHAT-SHOW' on October 23 for her new mini-album, IU stated regarding one of her new songs, "Red Queen," "There's a drawing that became the motif. As soon as I saw that picture, I thought of a red queen. It's a drawing that is even in the album.
"To tell the truth, that drawing is one that my friend Sulli drew for me, and Sulli draws well. That's why I visited Sulli's house, saw that picture, thought it fit the lyrics I was thinking of, and borrowed that picture to write [the song]."
That's pretty cool!
