I would genuinely swali her mental health if it was revealed that she wrote those lyrics AFTER kusoma the book… but i doubt she actually read it. :/ i hope.

Wow, it’s my first time of seeing Zeze lyrics. Who the hell wrote them? The kid was abused extremely cruelly kwa his dad and the lack of affection made him rebel. She sees this as charming and sexy??
———-
It’s not blowing up because it’s IU. If it was an other artist, they would’ve became another Yewon.
————
I’ve always sensed that she’s sexual. I think she likes lolicon concept.
———
As someone who grew up with this book… Is disturbing.
———
I had the same thoughts lol wow. but literally everyone loved her and if I drop 1 maoni about disliking her, I’d be bombarded to death
———–
Her song was based on the machungwa, chungwa tree’s persoective towards Zeze right? That’s so creepy thinking that the machungwa, chungwa mti was his only ‘friend’ that he could escaped from an abusing parent but she portrayed the machungwa, chungwa mti as in that pervert pov ugh that’s gross
———
i understand the whole concept what i was asking is how is this scene of her sucking on bottle become such a big issue? :O isnt this portraying the lyric “i want to stay baby forever” ?
——–
Just like what she alisema on the interview: I wrote the song with a lot of possibilities of interpretations. So this interpretation is might be true… Creep.
——-
lolicon concept aside, how can anyone possibly think that iu exploring her sexuality kwa sexualizing a 5 mwaka abused kid even ok? that really is something else…
————-
Because she’s IU. As one of the maoni said, if this was another female idol, she’d be T-ara au Yewon 2.0.

they’re reaching
reaching for the sky.

NETIZEN REACTIONS

Koreaboo has collected reactions from Netizens who ametoa maoni on the original makala from our Korean source. The below maoni are the most maarufu maoni at the time of this makala being published.

[+ 251, – 6] Is that the from teh US? Even in prison they don’t treat pedophiles as people so I guess this is expected. They are a lot zaidi subjective than this.

[+ 220, – 12] There was a picha shoot in the states where a woman was wearing babyish clothes with a maua, ua shaped perfume bottle. The picha was called out for promoting pedophilia and it got shut down.

[+ 136, – 1] IU mashabiki claim that IU was simply portraying Zeze’s duality as sexy and cunning. Do wewe think it is normal for them to portray a duality born out of abuse in such a manner? Think about it seriously. I seriously swali IU’s standards if she still does not think there is anything wrong with her perception of the book. She ilitumwa a crude apology because of the shabiki sign event yet she had a big poster of her album koti, jacket at the fansign and played ‘Zeze’. Shocking.
