[2011-2017] 131012 Guerilla Date / Star Date
Here's the HD version without sub. Look at the crowd tho 🤯. Myeongdong streets were absolutely paralyzed back in 2013 and honestly, the wildest part is how her star power has only grown since. From packed streets during Modern Times era to effortlessly selling out massive stadium today, IU's longevity is really unmatched.👏

#IU #아이유
The truth is, her mind is full of beautiful ideas to shape the world, while some are still drowning in trivial rumors.
The difference in mindset is insane!
“Senior yang dihormati sama semua murid di sekolah ini adalah Senior IU”
Tahun lalu murid kelas 3 SMA almamater IU tampilin teater musical dari lagu dan dialog drama IU karena terima kasih tiap tahun dikasih beasiswa. Udah pada kuliah kali ya sekarang ☺️

iu should have started her career on mia if only the korean public were receptive… i often think of the girl who yelled at her during her first live and whether she’s still a milk or reformed, or whether she is upset seeing Iu everywhere in Korea?
I saw this petition. Someone made this. Let's counter hater's petition. International fans who love perfect crown. Let's support the perfect crown team. We don't want their hard work to go to waste let's sign the petition

Here is the summary of what the Korean General Public (GP) is arguing in those comments, categorized by their main points of defense:
1. It Was Accurate Research, Just a Clash with Modern Pride
They followed real records: The GP points out that the 9-tasseled crown (Guryu-myeonryugwan) and the chant "Cheonse" (Live for a thousand years) are factually accurate protocols for a Joseon Dynasty King. In fact, the Seoul Metropolitan Government uses these exact elements in official historical reenactments today.
A narrative disconnect, not a "distortion": The issue arose because the production team brought strict Joseon-era royal protocols directly into a 21st-century modern setting. It created an awkward clash with modern public sentiment, but it was absolutely not an attempt to portray Korea as a Chinese vassal state (the "Northeast Project").
2. The Logic of the Alternate Universe (AU)
It’s a Kingdom, not an Empire: The drama is explicitly set in a fictional, modern "Republic of Korea" where the Joseon line survived directly into the present day without ever transitioning into the short-lived Korean Empire.
Consistent world-building: Because the setting is a "Royal Court" and not an "Imperial Court," the ruler is a King and his son is a Crown Prince (Seja). Commenters argue it is absurd to attack the King for wearing a King’s 9-tasseled crown when the show never claimed he was an Emperor.
Zero real historical figures: Unlike past controversial dramas that altered the actions of real kings, this show is a pure fantasy rom-com with entirely fabricated characters.
3. Clear Media Double Standards
The Last Empress comparison: Viewers point out that the 2018 drama The Last Empress featured an "Emperor" wearing a 9-tasseled crown (which is historically incorrect, as an Emperor should wear 12 tassels), yet nobody tried to cancel it. They argue Perfect Crown is being singled out with an unfair double standard for actually trying to stick to Joseon records.
Joseon Exorcist: The GP points out that trying to compare Perfect Crown to the canceled drama Joseon Exorcist is a completely transparent, bad-faith attempt to muddy the waters. Joseon Exorcist directly distorted and smeared actual, real-life historical figures (like King Taejong and King Sejong). By contrast, Perfect Crown is a modern romance-fantasy operating in an entirely fabricated universe where not a single real-life historical figure exists.
4. Protecting Global Success & Creative Freedom
Reviving the Hallyu Wave: Commenters note that the show is a massive global hit, with international audiences explicitly stating they are switching back to K-dramas from Chinese dramas because of it. Tearing it down domestically over a 1-minute clip actively harms South Korea's cultural prestige.
Stifling the industry: The GP warns that forcing a cancellation over a fantasy rom-com sets a toxic precedent. If creators are trapped in a box of rigid censorship, future writers and actors will completely avoid making fusion historical dramas.
Appreciation for the art: Many comments emphasize that the drama is a beautiful masterpiece. The crew traveled for eight months to showcase traditional Korean aesthetics, palaces, and culture, all wrapped around a fantastic lead romance.
5. Exposure of an Organized "Hate Campaign"
Driven by antis and politics: The public widely believes the controversy is a forced witch hunt orchestrated by anti-fans of the lead actors, critics who dislike the broadcasting network (MBC) due to political factionalism, or entities exploiting anti-China sentiment during an election season. They note that the vast majority of the loudest haters haven't even watched the show from start to finish.

Heechul: "IU is the blueprint for handling hate. She ignores the noise, stays silent, and sues them legally with zero leniency. Haters back down because they know she will take them to court."
10년째 정신과를 매달 다니고 있고 어제가 병원 내원날이었다.
한을 푸는 사람처럼 의사선생님한테 이야기를 했다. 세상이 지은누나한테 너무하다고.
나에게 건네신 한마디.
"아이유는 뭘 하든 잘될거고 잘 이겨낼거에요. 팬 아닌 내가 봐도 참 바르고 좋은사람이잖아."
그말에 참 많이 찡했어.
