While singer and actress IU continues to take legal action against cyberbullies, excessive malicious rumors surrounding her persist.

Recently, a post claiming "IU has been sued for defamation" was posted on social media.

The author of the post listed Kakao's headquarters location, a person named Heo who went missing in Jeju in 2020, the purple tracksuit IU wore on JTBC's variety show "Hyori's Homestay," and her 2024 release song "Shh...," asserting that Heo was "a person who exposed IU online."

The author linked the missing person case in Jeju Island to IU, generating excessive rumors that drew frowns. However, the post spread after receiving thousands of likes.

Recently, IU's side has been working to cut off cyberbullying by seeking identity verification of bullies through U.S. courts. IU's side reports that bully A posted 52 false posts, damaging their reputation.

However, since A's identity could not be specified, they requested evidence disclosure from Meta to secure materials for the defamation lawsuit currently underway in Korea.

A is known to have spread various malicious rumors related to IU, including allegations of plagiarism, false claims regarding China, false claims about overseas achievements, suspicion of marketing using deceased individuals, accusations of media control and public opinion manipulation, and posts linking lyrics to national tragedies.

It was also reported that IU has filed criminal complaints and civil lawsuits against a total of 96 individuals in addition to these cases.
