1. [+18,002, -2,978] Amazing... Her apology post wasn't even a real apology and now she's changing her words on us. Furthermore, her agency claims that we're making unfounded claims??? Don't act so cocky with us
2. [+14,101, -1,662] She's got a strong mentality, that's for sure...
3. [+12,284, -1,827] Loli, loli, loli
4. [+13,887, -3,849] A fox indeed... look at her smiling in a situation like this
5. [+4,661, -343] People are saying IU's career is in a crisis... we did not create this crisis. She brought this upon herself.
6. [+4,023, -423] Look at that shameless facial expression ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ She wrote that apology just to attend this?
7. [+3,806, -337] An artist who turned pedo sexuality into a product ㅎㅎ
8. [+3,535, -227] I'm honestly disappointed in IU but moreso of her fans and her agency. They had so many opportunities to hold her back or put a brake to the concept but I feel like not one person looked out for IU in the end. I wonder if they just clouded her judgment in endless praise...

Article: 'Fan signing' IU, actually confident despite scandal... confident pose + smile
Source: Ilgan Sports via Nate
1. [+2,914, -219] She's not your average girl
2. [+2,668, -229] Don't forget that she went to MC at Inkigayo the day after her scandal with Eunhyuk happened ㅋㅋㅋ Her mentality is not of a human's
3. [+2,541, -323] I'm so disgusted with her, I've never been this scared of a woman before
4. [+290, -11] Everyone at that fan meet is an idiot
5. [+271, -4] IU's apology was basically a "you're all idiots, I'm still going to make money off of you". There was not one explanation of her concept in there at all.

Article: Despite onslaught of hateful comments... everyone at the fan meet is in awe of IU
Source: TV Report via Nate
1. [+1,208, -173] Look at her smiling........ she must really think like her lyrics, that she can act however she wants and people will still be nice to her. That gives me goosebumps ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
2. [+992, -128] So what happened to all her uncle fans who praised her saying she's a prodigy artist?
3. [+818, -101] If she was a male celebrity, she would've been exiled from the industry already ㅋㅋ
4. [+67, -3] Can't believe IU fans still like her after she caused this entire mess and she's smiling like this ㅋㅋㅋ She's so lucky to have idiot fans
5. [+66, -2] Stupid fanboys are a lost case ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Article: Loen, "We will take constructive criticism of IU... but attacks on her as a person are regretful."
Source: X Sports News via Naver
1. [+16,453, -760] Loen keeps blaming us for sexualizing her but isn't it Loen that put sexual elements in her music video and jacket?
2. [+16,373, -850] I still don't understand what IU means by third person perspective. She specifically stated that the lyrics were written from Minguinho's perspective of Zzeze...
3. [+15,225, -899] That doesn't make lolita okay...
4. [+13,492, -807] IU's image has taken such a huge hit from tsk, tsk tsk tsk
5. [+6,107, -175] If you're going to apologize, do it right. Don't act cocky saying you'll take what you want and reject the rest.

1. [+800, -31] Loen claiming the props in the music video "had no meaning"... that's ridiculous. The props clearly mean indirect things in the music video. She's sucking on a baby bottle and has milk on her clothes... that really means nothing? Don't think of us netizens as fools.
2. [+768, -42] What exactly are they claiming that we're misinterpreting... Anyone can tell those things in the MV had meaning...
3. [+696, -34] I'm IU-ssi's fan. But this comment wasn't written by me. It was written from a third person perspective.
4. [+104, -2] The lyrics are dirty, the music video is dirty... so why should we be obligated to write 'clean' comments for her? That's extremely hypocritical of her.
5. [+82, -2] So Loen thinks they put in all these props in the music video with no meaning or intention... a dog bowl with dog food... a baby's bottle...

Article: IU's long apology... why did she leave out a clarification on her 'teaser plagiarism' suspicions?
Source: Ilgan Sports via Naver
1. [+933, -91] There's just so many things wrong with her album concept... this is a scandal that has opened suspicion on not only her career as an "artist" but herself as a "human being".
2. [+905, -95] She better not dare call herself an artist ever again... there was a reason she decided not to promote on music shows for this album.
3. [+819, -84] Her apology basically reads like "I drank alcohol but I wasn't drunk driving"... She said she wrote the lyrics from Minguinho's perspective of Zeze but all of a sudden he's not really Zeze? Imagine if she went up to Chu Sung Hoon and said Sarang's dual personality was sexy to her... would Chu Sung Hoon be like, "Oh really, that's okay". I'm still horrified by that scene in her music video where she has milk spilled on herself and she's laying there lifeless.
4. [+591, -33] Debuting as a star is as hard as picking a star out of the sky... but ruining your career takes only one moment like this.
5. [+185, -10] Her apology: "Here's my apology so keep sending in that cash you ATMs"

Article: IU's apology comes after 24 hours of deliberation... will the public believe it?
Source: Mydaily via Naver
1. [+3,167, -273] IU is cunning and dirty. But of course, the IU that I'm talking about is a third person's perspective of her using her as a motif.
2. [+1,968, -175] She only apologized because she realized the shield articles weren't working... Her apology wasn't even an apology... it was just saying that wasn't her intention, it's not my fault... is that an apology?
3. [+1,785, -149] She was testing the waters and realized she couldn't wait any longer
4. [+1,650, -167] It's all over now~~~
5. [+577, -29] She needs to go apologize to the author of the book and the people who are victims of child abuse as well as to Britney. What the public wants is for her to take down her songs and take back her album. I don't want innocent kids listening to songs like this. This is not something an apology will fix. If she's the producer of this album, she should take responsibility for it.
6. [+543, -26] Is it really an apology if she only wrote it because she had a fan meet to attend?

Article: Will IU's apology be able to turn the public around?
Source: X Sports News via Naver
1. [+562, -58] IU's a problem but so are her fans... always shielding her like "Our IU, our IU, our IU this, that..." I'm sure she'll be fine with them around, she'll release her next album and line it up on the charts again.
2. [+500, -55] She claimed she wrote the lyrics from Minguinho's perspective and called Zeze cunning and dirty... where is her apology for misinterpreting Minguinho's character?
3. [+456, -47] She responded so fast to her dating scandal but this time took her sweet time, releasing shield articles in the mean time before finally writing her apology... sigh, I was her fan and this is such a disappointment...
4. [+370, -39] Take down your songs...
5. [+137, -12] She still has a mountain of things to clarify... when will those come?
6. [+126, -12] Sorry to say but it's over for her... I doubt her image can recover from this.
