[NEWS] 260720 IU’s Agency Seeks U.S. Court Order to Unmask Anonymous Threads User in Defamation Case
IU’s legal team has filed a request with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California to compel META to disclose the identity of an anonymous Threads user, as part of an ongoing defamation lawsuit in South Korea. The team requested only the minimum information needed to identify the account holder, including the subscriber’s name, email address, phone number, address, date of birth, login IP records, and payment registration details (excluding card numbers), while stressing that they are not seeking access to private communications.
According to the court filing, the anonymous account allegedly posted at least 52 false and malicious statements targeting IU. The posts reportedly revived previously dismissed plagiarism allegations, spread false claims linking her to Chinese interests, mocked the international performance of her Netflix drama, accused her agency of manipulating public opinion and the media, and made serious allegations that she exploited the deaths of fellow artists for publicity. The account also claimed that IU’s song lyrics mocked victims of the Sewol ferry disaster and the Itaewon crowd crush. IU’s lawyers argued that the account likely belongs to a South Korean resident based on its exclusive use of Korean and focus on domestic issues, and maintained that defamatory falsehoods are not protected speech. If the U.S. court approves the request and Meta provides the requested subscriber information, the anonymous user could be identified and face both civil and criminal legal action in South Korea.

The 7 Most Perfect K-Dramas of the Last 15 Years, Ranked
No.1
When Life Gives You Tangerines feels like an entire lifetime unfolding before the audience's eyes. The story is set on Jeju Island, and follows Oh Ae-sun (IU), a young woman who dreams of becoming a poet despite growing up in difficult circumstances, and Yang Gwan-sik (Park Bo-gum), a quiet, dependable boy who spends his life loving her without ever asking for anything in return. Their story stretches across decades as they experience love, marriage, parenthood, loss, and the countless compromises that come with growing older, while Korea itself changes around them.
When Life Gives You Tangerines doesn't treat love as some grand gesture. Instead, it shows Gwan-sik's devotion through quiet sacrifices, while Ae-sun slowly learns that the life she imagined and the life she ultimately lives are not necessarily so different from one another. The drama explores big, emotional themes, including the relationship between mothers and daughters, generational dreams, and the changing identity of Jeju Island, along with its central romance. Every stage of the characters' lives receives the same importance. The series constantly reminds viewers that life rarely unfolds the way people expect, yet somehow still finds beauty in these unexpected paths. Very few dramas capture the passage of time with this much honesty, which is why When Life Gives You Tangerines stays with the audience long after the credits roll.
