On February 25th, posts on various internet community boards revealed that IU was an hour late for her performance at the "Dream High" concert. Netizens are furious over the fact that she wasn't just late - she had also failed to apologize to the audience for her delay. According to these netizens, the event was put on hold because of IU, which ended with some fans being forced to return home without being able to experience the entire concert line-up. Some of the concertgoers were of a younger age, and so they had to skip the rest of the concert in order to meet their curfews. When it was discovered that IU did not make an apology, both her attitude and the poor concert organization was put up on the chopping board. The controversy heated up even more when IU wrote the following message on her me2day after the concert: "I clenched my jaw and ran and ran today, but all that returned was...... Who is this song for? I really don't know lately." On February 25th, representatives of Loen Entertainment spoke with Asia Economy and revealed, "Regarding the delay, we have to discuss the matter with the producers once more. And unlike what was previously reported, the start of the concert was at 9:00 PM, not 8:30 PM. Honestly, we'd like to reveal the event's cue sheet, but we'll be releasing a statement after a meeting with the producers." Netizens are speculating that IU was running behind because of her jam-packed scheduled, which had IU appear at a game festival for "Alicia" right after her performance on "M! Countdown" at 7:00 PM. Numerous other variables also stood in the way of IU being able to get to the "Dream High" concert on time, such as IU being forced to stay on-site for the live broadcast of a program, which made it impossible for her to traverse from Yongsan to Kyoyang on time.
