1. [+382] U-ya, do whatever you want to do

2. [+358] What was so confusing for everyone!!!!!!!

3. [+195] Singer IU, Actress Lee Ji Eun, SNS Marketer Lee Ji Geum, Manager Lee Ji Dong, and maknae Lee Jong Hoon... Don't most fans know the five siblings of IU? It's all a part of the IU universe ㅎㅎㅎ

4. [+78] Honestly, I think most people know that her real name is Lee Ji Eun by now

5. [+1] I think IU has already proven herself in most industries to the point where what her name is doesn't really matter anymore. It's always the idols who fail to make it as actors who blame their idol names and insist on changing to their real names, but IU is just IU..

6. [+3] I think everyone knows that Lee Ji Eun is IU's name, but I can see how that might confuse foreigners when they try to look up her movies or dramas

7. [+19] I never saw the point in idols and actors separating their names anyway. It's not like your acting skills improve if you use your real name versus your stage name. 

8. [+5] Good, good, that's a good decision 👏👏👏👏

9. [+16] IU~ whatever she chooses, it's fine by me~

10. [+3] I always thought it'd be confusing as well

11. [+28] Plagiarism-U

12. [+9] So what happened to IU's plagiarism controversy??? Yoo Hee Yeol had to leave his show over his controversy, why nothing about IU???

13. [+5] Any clarifications on the plagiarism...
