IU Holmes Reveals "Everybody Has Secrets"; Forgot her Scarlet "A"
 |
| There we go. |
It's obvious through the teaser that she looks like a young girl who found her mother's clothes and put them on but it sounds like she's going to attempt challenging the standards of the incredibly conservative society of South Korea that brought her downfall to begin with. And with the extremely harsh standards for girls when comparing to guys when having to do with sex scandals or dating scandals, the girls getting all the blame while the guys basically getting off scot-free, I'm really unsure if she could at the very least remain at a decent level of popularity in the long run.
IU In Trouble Again?
 |
| Wow, so much scandal. |
"It is true that the two of them recently went out to watch a movie but other staff members were with them at the time. They are not dating so it is not necessary to explain it. They are not dating."
"The two became friends while emceeing together. They both happened to have time after their schedules so they met up for a movie. IU and Lee Hyun Woo are good friends. They also knew that photos were being taken of them. They were not on a date or anything like that."
Both IU and Lee's reps reported.
The more I see 'scandals' like these on the news, the more ridiculous it comes off as. Is the media really that slow that people resort to reporting evident cases like these? Can two people of the opposite sex not hang out as just friends, icons specifically, without it being all over the internet? I understand that they both are renowned and things like scandals are juicy, but when it comes off as patent as this – there is no juice to be squeezed out of it. The journalist themselves most likely enjoys a movie with a friend of the opposite sex, so try to bring out anything unnecessary out of things like this? Even the netizens were bored-- the netizens.
The only thing that was gotten out of this was superfluous bashing towards IU. And may I mention how IU received back-lash and hate while Lee Hyun Woo received nothing? Not saying he should-- not that any of them should- but what's up with the sexist stereotype in society, that if a girl hangs out with a guy she's considered a slut but the guy is not considered anything? Although technology may be rapidly advancing furthermore into the future, people themselves seem to be stuck in the 18th century.
What do you think?

IU finally addresses the Eunhyuk scandal
The scandal which had everyone talking last year was the IU and Super Junior's Eunhyuk's sex scandal, where supposedly innocent, IU, uploaded said image on twitter. Only yesterday did IU finally come clean after the numerous, stupid excuses released by both SM Entertainment and LOEN Entertainment pertaining the scandal, and if you haven't watched IU's appearance on SBS's Incarnation, you should do so right now while also reading the translation from allkpop:
...she started with, "I wondered, why did this happen? Why did I do this? First, I did upload it by mistake. And to be honest, I couldn't even blame anyone else because I was the one who uploaded it. It wasn't that I could even have a hard time because of it [because it was my fault]."
She added, "I was so sorry to many people. Since I did it myself, I thought, who should I feel the most apologetic to? Should I be sorry to the people who loved me? Or should I be sorry to the people who loved the person I hurt (the other person in the photo)? I also thought a lot about, should I go out and apologize to everyone and clear up all the misunderstandings, or should I just stay quiet? I pushed back variety shows as much as I could because of that."
She continued, "I was so sorry. It wasn't something that made me have a hard time, being a burden on me or anything because I should just be sorry to everyone. I'm so sorry."
To be honest, I was actually somewhat appalled at what she said. Even though she did kinda bounce around the question and didn't fully say out 'I got the Eunhyuk D' (which really wasn't expected for her to straight out say it), I liked how she didn't cover it up like other idols probably would've (*cough* looking at you, T-ara) and basically said that it was true. Though I'm not going to completely take sides here because who knows? Maybe my fanfic-like explanation towards what happened was true--what's really funny to me is how butt hurt ELFs are overwhelming the video with 'oppar didn't mean it!' and 'IU's a liar; Eunhyuk is an angel!' and even one commenter saying:
hyuk must have hard time because of your MISTAKE ! :(
as if Eunhyuk's backlash from the photo was more than IU's. Likewise, I believe that if IU wasn't categorized as 'nation's little sister' and more-or-less the Virgin Mary, this scandal wouldn't have been that bad.
