150907 아이유 at Incheon Airport Returning from Hong Kong

Netizens often accuse idols of copying others when it comes to style and fashion. However, netizens recently accused solo singer 아이유 of copying something a little harder to imitate.

According to a netizen on Instiz, IU’s smile is so similar to former 에프엑스 member Sulli‘s smile that a post was created to show how similar the two look.

The post compared several gifs and 이미지 of 아이유 and Sulli, concluding that the two singers both share a unique open-mouth, teeth-baring smile. However, because the two are very close friends, having a similar smile doesn’t necessarily mean 아이유 is conscious copying...

On June 3, a particular netizen made a post on an online community titled, "Younha constantly annoying 아이유 like an ex-boyfriend". In the post, netizens shared two screenshots of text messages shared between Younha and IU, found on Younha's Instagram.
