1. Eunhyuk
Controversy erupted over a picture IU accidentally uploaded on SNS. IU has succeeded in image making away from it but Eunhyuk is still made fun of on variety shows and constantly mentioned for no reason on IU's articles.

2. Kim Tae Woo
IU said that Kim Tae Woo was her ideal type so he went on a show with her but IU basically put up an invisible wall between them and ignored him the whole time. He was just used for image making.

3. Jang Wooyoung
The infamous 'rib eye incident' that can be searched up anywhere. Jang Wooyoung's image was tarnished to the point where he had to clarify what actually happened on broadcast.

4. Simon D
IU tried to put Simon D on the spot by revealing on TV that she had gotten his number and texted him several times but was ignored by him, clearly trying to get viewers to hate on him. Lee Hyun stepped up and actually cornered IU by saying he tried to get her number but she lied to him saying she didn't have a phone number.
1. [+801, -52] There's also that Yang Hee Eun incident where she said on 'Sebakwi' that they had a duet but she never even saw IU and IU never even greeted her ㅋㅋㅋ and on 'Healing Camp', she clarified rumors about why she didn't bow to her seniors by saying she doesn't have a special greeting like other girl groups so that's why ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I wish people would stop making her out to be an angel.. just because she treats her fans nicely doesn't make her a good person all around
2. [+725, -34] Every time I see IU, there's always something about her... it's not something you notice outright but you can tell she's a calculating person when it comes to her image ㅋㅋ
3. [+698, -26] What actually happened during the Jang Wooyoung scandal: 1. Wooyoung bought IU a meal at a family restaurant. He tried to get close to her by buying her a meal but they ended up awkwardly eating at separate tables. 2. IU offered to treat him and ordered rib eyes, which are expensive. Jang Wooyoung was taken aback. IU then texted him saying, 'If oppa buys this for me while I'm in the bathroom, I'll consider you ar eally cool person'. Jang Wooyoung's taken aback again. His manager suggests that they should buy it, but Wooyoung refuses. Manager succeeds in persuading him so JYP paid half and Wooyoung paid off. 3. At the Dream High concert, rumor got out that Wooyoung and IU shared a meal together. Wooyoung explained exactly what happened in #1 but IU went around saying, 'Wooyoung oppa voluntarily bought me expensive rib eye' making it sound like he liked her. 4. IU talked about that all over radio and broadcast, in all her interviews. Jang Wooyoung's image turned into some sleazy guy who tried to hit on a high schooler. 5. Jang Wooyoung had to clarify what actually happened on all of his TV shows.
4. [+425, -6] Wow.. Simon D's expression looks like he already knows what she's trying to do ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
5. [+402, -5] The scariest thing is having a friend like IU. She can screw with everyone she wants but she already made a positive image for herself with her cute looks and love for fans that only everyone else ends up getting hate.
6. [+340, -7] Wow ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ look at all this image making she tried to do, even after backstabbing Eunhyuk ㅋㅋㅋ such a fox
7. [+328, -6] Simon D's expression looks like "Here she goes again" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
8. [+301, -13] ('Healing Camp' article of IU clarifying that she couldn't find the right moment to greet her seniors) Always making excuses for not greeting her seniors...
9. [+296, -6] Eunhyuk's probably the biggest victim and there are a ton more like Seo In Guk, etc.
10. [+286, -2] If Lee Hyun didn't step up for Simon D then, he would've gotten so much hate ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
11. [+258, -0] Sure IU really made a positive image for herself, which her talent has a lot to do with.. but her talent doesn't define who she is as a person. Praise her for her talent but criticize her where necessary.
12. [+219, -4] IU knows that when she screws up and has no where to go, her fans are the only ones who'll dig her out so she's good to them
13. [+213, -9] In comparison, Suzy and Seolhyun may be dumb but you never get the sly fox impression like you do from IU
14. [+213, -5] She's a calculating person
15. [+184, -2] What I still don't get is IU dating someone for two years and making the excuse that she didn't know how to tell her fans the entire time. Just be honest, you didn't want to reveal it, why try to make yourself look like a good person? Just ask for your fan's support.
15. [+176, -1] I remember another comment where anyone who gets linked to IU 100% ends up getting hate ㅋㅋ so cancerous. Eunhyuk, Sulli, Jiyeon, Jang Giha, Park Myung Soo all got hate every day.
16. [+176, -4] Don't know why people always call her a good person when she's only ever good to her fans
17. [+135, -6] IU made fun of Jiyeon for having eyes close together on TV and then cut all contact with her after T-ara failed.
In the aftermath of IU's dating news, this Pann shows us how well IU and LOEN Entertainment have shifted any negativity generated because of IU's antics from her onto the men involved with her, with several of them still reeling from their respective scandals with IU. With LOEN being a dominating force in the Korean digital music market, their connections run deep enough to shield their employees; better than any Big 3 company.

Date: 2015-10-10 11:01 pm (UTC)She must be the devil! Just look at her face!
I love her, I'm her fan, and her music is one of my faves in kpop (if you can call kpop to all her music), but I have this thing that sometimes there is some people that I just see something weird/bad in them that makes me be on the edge all the time, and she has it. I don't like to say it about anyone because I don't want other people thinking they can make hateful comments about them to me just for my "out of nowhere" feeling. Because I know to tell apart the reality and facts from my "impressions".
Whatever this list is clearly biased against her.

Date: 2015-10-10 11:24 pm (UTC)sly bitch?? idk ... mmmh maybe from male idols (and their fandom) perspective

Date: 2015-10-10 11:58 pm (UTC)Eunhyuk's image wasn't damaged after that, was it? It looked more like a joke for him and a disgrace for her. Idk. They still have successful careers after that so, whatever.
It's not like she tried to ruin their careers, what are the writers trying to archieve lol. And sorry for the guy in n°2 but I'm laughing at the "I went there because she was supposed to be my fan but ah she didn't notice me :(" poor little thing

Date: 2015-10-11 12:14 am (UTC)I dont think the point is that there wasnt damage, I think the point is that this stuff is calculated either by or agency or her at the expense of all these guys.
Not that I think its serious or I can talk abt the seriousness bc I dont care abt any of the people involved and like you said none of them were seriously damaged by it but it was negative for them.
