Maxim model under fire for Twitter posts saying IU should date EXO instead

EXO, IU

There's a controversy brewing regarding IU and indie band member Chang Kiha's relationship. And no, it's not a controversy about their relationship and 11 year age-gap, but in fact, about a model who took to SNS to express her discontent with IU's choice of boyfriend.


Maxim model Jung Doo Ri wrote her opinions, saying that IU could have done better, on her personal Twitter. She wrote:


 "IU, don't be like that. Are you crazy?"


"Get ahold of yourself and meet someone like EXO. I plead you." (this post has since been deleted.)


"You're a superior female in Korean society, so why in the world? First Sulli and now you. Have uncle fans put a tight corset on you?"


She received a lot of online criticism because of these posts, and she replied back with some more Twitter posts:


"I love pretty girls like IU so much. That's why I say empathetic words like this a lot. I want pretty, young girls to meet good looking young guys similar to themselves. Of course, saying this and that about another person's relationship is funny, but isn't Twitter normally a place where you can have private conversations?"


"Ahh, I'm sorry to EXO fans. I don't know EXO well, but when I come upon their photos by chance, they're so good looking and are young, fresh guys, so I felt that way and wrote like that. I didn't know that would be disrespectful to fans."


"Anyways, wanting to see young good looking couples is my honest opinion. Before you guys say I swore at this person, I separated people into different classes, or whatever."



"Of course you know that the phrase 'always superior' is a mirroring, right? Honestly, my thought that IU stands out as a pretty girl and musician is true."


Before this controversy, Jung Doo Ri was most known for being the winner of 2014's 'Maxim Girl'.
