“To start
iu is under fuego for a plagiarism articulo but más importantly I think tu should take a look at her lyrics in “Zeze”

The lyrics.”

(Partial lyrics to “Zezé” por 1theK and Koreaboo)

Look how your lips smile, like this is so interesting
I can tell por that face, you’re a mean one
Ah, even your name is beautiful, I want to keep calling it
What I imagine I can’t say out loud, but so adorable

Stroking sounds with those little fingers
canto of colores and sights in your ticklish voice, yeah

Zezé, climb up the tree
kiss the leaves
Don’t fool around
Don’t hurt the tree, bad bad

Zezé, climb up the tree
Take the youngest leaf here
Take the only flower
Climb up me
Climb up me

Like a blooming flower,
Look at the two cheeks becoming rosy
You’re very naive, but obviously cunning
tu seem like a transparent child
Something about tu is dirty
What’s living inside of you,
There’s no way to know

Above you, there’s a sunshine
But there are faint signs of dark clouds within tu oh

Zezé, climb up the tree
kiss the leaves
Don’t fool around
Don’t hurt the tree, bad bad

Zezé, climb up the tree
Take the youngest leaf here
Take the only flower
Climb up me
Climb up me

I want to touch tu once more
I wait for tu every day
Come and take it all
I want to call for you
I wait for tu every day
Even though tu sneak away,
You’ll come see me again tomorrow night

Zezé, climb up the tree
kiss the leaves
Don’t fool around
Don’t hurt the tree, bad bad

Zezé, climb up the tree
Take the youngest leaf here
Take the only flower
Climb up me
Climb up me

Capture of interview with iu in which she talks about the track “Zezé,” a track inspired por the story My Sweet naranja Tree. He (Zezé) is described as sweet and angelic but at other times cruel. iu says that she finds him both “charming and sexy.” The lyrics for her song is spoken from another character’s view, Minguinho, to Zezé.

My Sweet naranja árbol is an autobiographical novel written por José Mauro de Vasconcelos about a five-year old Brazilian boy por the name of Zezé who is known to be mischievous when left alone at inicial while the rest of his family are busy working to support the family. Because of this, his parents and older siblings physically discipline Zezé for his pranks. However, while in school, Zezé is described as an “angel” and with a corazón of gold. The teachers amor him because he is intelligent. He later finds refuge in a small naranja árbol in his family’s new inicial following his father getting laid off from work. Zezé can somehow communicate with this árbol named Minguinho.

“Above is a picture of IU’s interview.
If you’ve read ‘My Sweet naranja Tree’ tu would know Zeze is not portrayed in the libros the way he is portrayed in this song..
And also, there is controversy over the lyrics of ‘Twenty-Three’ and the lolita descripción in the photos.”

tu see in the back of this foto there are 3 libros titled, “Leon”, “Delicate”, “Discipline”. Leon as everyone knows has a strong lolita aspect. Delicate in the lolita world means ‘a fragile girl who is easy to seduce sexually’. Discipline in the lolita is when an adult male sexually disciplines a young girl. Isn’t it obvious what they’re trying to do when 3 most cliche words in the lolita world are in her photos?

“This angle and setting is obvious to anyone that knows even a bit about photography. It’s so cliche what her white en general, general and messy hair is portraying. I haven’t seen the MV for “Twenty Three” but I can say these pictures at least are lolita concept”
