Netizens often accuse idols of copying others when it comes to style and fashion. However, netizens recently accused solo singer IU of copying something a little harder to imitate.

According to a netizen on Instiz, IU’s smile is so similar to former f(x) member Sulli‘s smile that a post was created to show how similar the two look.

The post compared several gifs and images of IU and Sulli, concluding that the two singers both share a unique open-mouth, teeth-baring smile. However, because the two are very close friends, having a similar smile doesn’t necessarily mean IU is conscious copying Sulli.

Heo Ji Woong spoke up once again on IU's behalf.

Amid the various criticism IU is receiving, he said, "People who say that it is a taboo even for expression have a trend of trying to make everyone follow the moral boundaries they build. Even people who don't believe it's a big deal start taking sides because they don't want to be judged morally. If someone is a pedophile or if they support it, they can be punished through law through proof. Just because they see it that way, it's not right to reduce this to agreeing or opposing pedophilia and bully them."

He added, "Just as the people have freedom...

In light of recent news that Hyunyoung is dating Clazziquai’s Alex, the Rainbow member is being pitted against IU for their resemblance.

On October 16th, a post on Hankooki mentioned these similarities as it highlighted their round, small face and gentle, long hair.

The similarities were further enhanced by their tendency to look cute and bright in front of the camera and coincidentally their recent admission of dating fellow artists in the industry.

Just recently, IU was confirmed to be dating Chang Ki Ha, while Hyunyoung is revealed to be in a relationship with singer, Alex.

What do you think of the photo? Do you think they look alike?

IU was of course asked about her recently publicized relationship with Jang Kiha during 'CHAT-SHOW' on October 23.

When asked, "Are you having a really hard time?" she replied, "Everything is hard. Is there one person here who isn't having a hard time? Although there are hard times, I think it is a bit less hard these days." Another person then brought up Jang Kiha's name, flustering IU who said, "Hey, so that's... uh... there would be a lot of different complex reasons [for it being less hard]," and smiled.

She continued, "It hasn't been long since it's been revealed, but it's been two years...

There's a controversy brewing regarding IU and indie band member Chang Kiha's relationship. And no, it's not a controversy about their relationship and 11 year age-gap, but in fact, about a model who took to SNS to express her discontent with IU's choice of boyfriend.

Maxim model Jung Doo Ri wrote her opinions, saying that IU could have done better, on her personal Twitter. She wrote:

"IU, don't be like that. Are you crazy?"

"Get ahold of yourself and meet someone like EXO. I plead you." (this post has since been deleted.)

"You're a superior female in Korean society, so why in the world? First...
