The experts said, "IU's 'Zeze' didn't only became an issue in music but also in the pop culture sphere overall, creating a societal impact; it proved that as a young producer making music, you are weighed down with heavier responsibilities. The controversy grew even bigger as IU shedding her past image became linked with the societal issues. It was a controversy that made us question how far once can push the boundaries of artistic freedom. On the other hand, it was a controversy which made us realize how much of an influence IU has on the public."
