IU is clearing the air about rumors that she has a "celebrity disease," and her response is not what fans expected!

On March 11, a video titled "The Reason People Keep Talking About IU – Salon Drip 2" was uploaded to the YouTube channel TEO's Salon Drip 2.

During the episode, IU, who recently starred in the Netflix original When Life Gives You Tangerines , opened up about her personality and how she lives her daily life. She shared, "I love staying at home. My mode completely switches on and off depending on whether I have makeup on or not. The fact that my real name is Lee Ji-eun and my stage name is IU also plays a role in that."

IU then addressed the ongoing speculation about her attitude, making a bold statement:

"I understand that people can criticize me. But if someone says, ‘IU has a celebrity disease,’ that’s simply not true. I don’t think I’m superior to others, so that claim doesn’t hold up."

She continued with a surprising confession, saying, "Someone might say somewhere that I’m rude. But that’s just because I am rude—not because of some celebrity disease. I was simply born that way."

Her honesty caught many fans off guard, but IU reassured everyone that she doesn’t let rumors get to her too much.

"That’s just luck, too. There was even a comment saying I’m not Korean. I’m okay with hate comments saying I’m ugly, that I can’t sing, or that I can’t act—I don’t even consider those hate comments. But if someone falsely claims I did something I never did, I believe that should be addressed."

IU’s straightforward response is now going viral, with fans loving her humor and confidence. What do you think about her remarks? Let us know in the comments!

BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
