After reading solo singer IU‘s revised lyrics for her song “Red Queen,” netizens continued to criticize the singer.
Because the song was originally a duet between herself and singer Zion.T, the LOEN Entertainment singer changed the lyrics in order to fit a solo song for her concert performance.
However, IU changed the lyrics in a way that directly responded to her anti-fans, causing the very same people to respond with backlash.
The singer originally came under fire for accusations of sexualizing a young boy through the lyrics of her song “Zeze.” Despite responding to claims and explaining her lyrics, however, anti-fans have continued to criticize IU and have even accused the singer of using a lolita concept for her latest album CHAT-SHIRE.
However, IU is continuing on with her promotions for CHAT-SHIRE, and is currently on her domestic tour. A translation of the revised lyrics of “Red Queen” can be found below:

“I think no one knows me correctly, but the talks about me are always intriguing. It’s a pity that your predictions about me aren’t true, but it’d be a lie to say I didn’t laugh, so I’ll say it’s fine.”

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!
