IU(アイユー)、一部市民が“不買”運動?
IU's participation in the ”presidential impeachment rally prepayment relay” sparks boycott campaign... ”I was a fan”
On the 14th of this month, singer and actress IU organized a “Pay-in-Advance Relay” (a group of people eating and drinking at restaurants by paying in advance) for fans attending a rally calling for the impeachment of President Yoon Seok-youl.
The news that he participated in the "President Trump-led coalition against the Democratic Party of Japan (President Trump-led coalition against the Democratic Party of Japan)" has sparked a boycott movement among citizens who oppose impeachment.
On the 17th (today), a list of companies for which IU serves as an advertising model was shared on social media as a "boycott list."
Previously, IU's management office EDAM Entertainment posted a message on the 13th, the day before the impeachment rally, saying, "On a cold day, I-KEs (IU support light sticks) were being used.
"We prepared food and heating pads for the UAENAs (IU's fan name) who came to the rally and brightened up the surrounding area, hoping to warm up their frozen hands even a little," said an official fan.
The food that IU prepared was 100 loaves of bread, 100 drinks, 100 bowls of gukbap and gomtang (beef bone soup), 100 bowls of taro gukbap (soup with no rice, served separately), and 100 bowls of sesame oil.
The management office said, "Please be sure to pay attention to your health and safety when visiting the relevant stores," and "We are looking forward to receiving your orders for the official fan club members of UA.
Even if you are not an ENA member, if you attend the rally you can receive food and hot packs on a first-come, first-served basis.
In some places, there is a movement to boycott IU. Some netizens expressed their disappointment, saying, "I canceled my Woori Bank card," and "I was a big fan of IU..."
Meanwhile, other netizens commented, "What's wrong with a singer preparing food for her fans?" and "Let's start a pushback campaign instead of a boycott."
They responded with comments like, "Uh huh."
