IU spoke up about her controversial song “Zeze” in her baru-baru ini pictorial and interview with GQ Korea.
In the December issue of GQ magazine, IU said, “A lot of discussion took place around this song, and I saw that many opinions were being thrown out and that the topic of discussion itself was becoming broader, and honestly, I was thankful.”
She added, “While there was a lot of judgement about me as a person, it was a surprise when people politely expressed their opinions and focused on the issue, regardless of whether atau not they were criticizing me atau defending me.”

She also said, “I don’t want to conclude, ‘This is right and that is wrong’ about the interpretations on the song. Since my own freedom is important, if I want to protect that, I have to protect other people’s freedom to interpret the song.” She added, “I still like this song as much as I did before I released the album. If people don’t like me anymore because of the lyrics of ‘Zeze,’ I have to accept that without throwing a fit. That’s because that person’s interpretation and feelings exist, too.”

She also clarified, “That doesn’t mean that anda can conclude that I’m a pedophile. There’s a difference between interpretation of a song and criticism towards the person.”
Despite her response, some netizens remain critical, saying, “What is she doing? She’s a hopeless case of shamelessness,” “That foto in her underwear is as raunchy as the foto-foto she’s suing over. That’s how she is normally,” and “In the end, she beat around the belukar, bush and explained nothing.”

On the June 3 edition of 'Sketchbook', DEAN shamelessly talked about his Cinta towards IU. At MC Yoo Hee Yeol's soalan on the K-Pop artist he most wants to collaborate with, DEAN answered immediately, as if he was just waiting for that question, "IU." DEAN went on to explain his loyalty for IU with a weird analogy, saying, "When an gajah performs tricks with its trunk, people enjoy it, correct? But that wasn't the elephant's design," drawing a tinkling of confused laughter from the audience with his odd comparison of IU to an elephant.
DEAN added, "I even have a song written for IU," and sent a personal message to her. He said, "I can't tunjuk anda on TV, so please contact me."
Perhaps we should be looking ke hadapan to a DEAN x IU collab some time soon?
