On the April 9 episode of JTBC's 텔레비전 show 'Famous Singer', 아이유 made a guest appearance.
During the talk, the host Lee Moo-jin said to IU, "As far as I know, you've gained much popularity after 'Good Day'. That must have felt quite scary."
아이유 responded, "Yes, 당신 are right. I was 더 많이 scared than happy at that time. I think it was because it happened too quickly."
She continued, "There was this 텔레비전 show that I went on a few months before 'Good Day'. Then when I went on it after 'Good Day', I was treated completely differently. They paid a lot of attention to me when they didn't a short time ago. It really confused me."
She went on, "My life hasn't changed at all within those couple of months, but everything around me had changed. I didn't know how to react to that."
Then, 아이유 shared how she overcame her struggles.
아이유 said, "The answer to that was to think of my popularity as something that I didn't gain myself. To be 더 많이 specific, I tried to just think that it was all about luck and timing."
She resumed, "That way, I wouldn't get scared if my popularity suddenly just vanished one day. It's like, 'I wasn't born with this popularity anyway, so it's not any less. I'm just going back to how I was before.'"
아이유 entered the 음악 industry in September 2008 with 'Mia', then she quickly rose to fame upon the release of 'Good Day' in December 2010.

On November 5, a post for IU's 팬 meeting in Beijing, '2015 아이유 in Bejing', was made to her Facebook, but it seems that many netizens as well as 팬 took offense. They left comments, such as, "Is this a situation where 당신 can post things like this? Is there no explanation for this? I don't know why she re-signed with the agency. Please use the time to explain," "Apologize first," "Loen shake my head," "Please give feedback in the time used to post things like this," and more.
As previously mentioned, "Zeze" has been drawing negative feedback for its alleged references to 'lolita' themes.
