Boyfriend & SHINee

IU’s 23 album is revolutionary in that it calls out and criticizes the Kpop industry and its sexualization of young teenage girls (including her when she was 15/16–there are videos where she’s shown to be uncomfortable having to sing/dance songs like Marshmallow and Boo) through satire, but people are turning a blind eye to it and calling HER gross while eating up aegyo pedo-clickbait or blatant sexual concepts of other girl groups. Like open your damn eyes and look at the bigger picture and reality here. Plus, it really says a lot about some people what kind of minds they have if they’re seeing sexual innuendos in her song Zeze when there isn’t supposed to be.

Maybe using the character Zeze wasn’t a smart idea on her end (I’m not sure if she actually read the book or the book was totally lost in translation when translated into Korean) and that she could have used another character as her muse, but the number of haters calling her a “pedo” for it are totally missing the point of the entire album. Plus, Zeze is written from the perspective of a tree, not an actual person. It’s also funny how a lot of girl groups are sexualized via lolita concepts (cute concepts aren’t just cute for the sake of being cute) yet no one says anything about it. But when IU writes satirical lyrics about it, people are suddenly calling her a pedo. Wow.

Uaena! I (why of all times) am in the middle of my MV shoot. Was taken aback by the sudden news article, but uaenas are probably more shocked than me right? Sorry for giving you guys a shock.. I should have told you guys earlier and I’m even more sorry for not having done so. If you’re thinking, “You should have been more careful right!”, I feel sorry for that too. We’ve been seeing each other for almost 2 years. We first met on the radio show (Note: Jang Giha’s Grand Radio) and I fell in love with him at first sight.. hehe He’s a boyfriend I’m grateful for and have a lot to learn from too. Our relationship is good, sometimes we fight, sometimes we get sad, we’re grateful for each other.. just like any average couple.  I was thinking hard about a slightly better way to break it to everyone, but Dispatch beat me to it.. Haha although it’s sudden, it seems we’ll have to start dating openly. It’s probably been awkward here all this while, pretending I’m not dating right? I’m sorry for making this happy, bustling, adorable place become like this. Even so, I’m really grateful for our uaenas who are worried for me and take care of me. I’m sorry and grateful for all the worries, support, sorrow.. Ah I’ve imagined this scenario a thousand times in my mind, but now that it’s happened, I really don’t know how to say this. First and foremost, I’m going to brave through this. I sincerely… hope you didn’t have a tiring day because of me today. I’ll be back again! Translated by squishy with love  ♥
