but if you think about it IU had to ride the wave of shifting public opinion from the day she debuted, from nugu to korea's little sister to sly-fox to nation's song writer. To face such barrages of love and hate without catching celebrity disease or getting depressed is a talent within itself. I think IU's strong mentality is one of her many talents and dealing with divided public opinion is one of the reasons she is able to resonate with the public and tap into what they like so well
It's funny how she went from "she's so over" to "uhm she is actually fine?" to legend status in a short period of time
