On Nate Pann, a post garnered over 200,000 views after the author compared IU to the historical figure Empress Wu Zetian, the only female empress to rule in China. During her time, it was recorded that she had many men in her life besides her late husband, Emperor Gaozong.
The OP then expressed her distaste for how IU gathered even the best idols and actors as if she were building her own “harem” and wrote:
“As (IU) has gained more experience and influence in the acting industry, it seems like she’s collecting all the incredibly handsome guys she couldn’t date that everyone would envy, one by one through dramas.”
The post’s author showed skepticism about his personality by recalling how he allegedly mentioned Song Kang during a film interview with Kang Dong Won for “Broker.”
During Kim Seon Ho’s popularity, he also sent a coffee truck to their set. Third, while dating Lee Jong Suk, she filmed a romantic music video with BTS V and built a solid friendship.
The writer then warned Byeon Woo Seok’s fans about how IU will most likely stay in touch and even become friends with the actor.
Besides them, IU has also worked with Jo Jung Suk, Jang Geun Seuk, Kim Soo Hyun, Lee Joon Gi, Kang Haneul, Hong Jong Hyun, Nam Joo Hyuk, EXO Baekhyun, and Park Bogum in the past.

Following the post, it became a trending article on the forum, but the OP faced backlash as the majority defended IU.
- “The mental insanity is so scary.”
- “But the reality is that most successful male actors in our country dream of acting with IU. It is also the lifelong dream of many famous singers in our country to sing a duet with IU or work on a song together with her .”
- “IU said she reads and handles all posts that appear on the forum, so I hope the author of this post gets sued.”
- “I admit that IU is good at teaming up with attractive guys, but do they all come when she calls them? They all agree thanks to IU’s skill.”
