IU explains why she exchanged Taeyang for Yoo Ah In as her ‘ideal man’


IU was known for originally being a huge fan of Taeyang’s, but recently made the switch over to “Sungkyunkwan Scandal” actor Yoo Ah In.
She even received a ‘love confession’ from the actor during the “2010 Golden Disk Awards“! Yoo Ah In was informed of IU’s ‘crush’ on him by fellow presenter Park Min Young, to which he replied, “IU, I love you too!” But why did she replace Taeyang with Yoo Ah In?
IU finally revealed her reason behind the switch through an interview with “Mnet Wide“. She explained:
“I kept talking about Taeyang so much on broadcast programs, that my mom gave me a warning. She said that if I talked about Taeyang one more time, she would disown me. That’s why I named Yoo Ah In as my ideal man instead of Taeyang. Netizens started commenting, ‘You once said you liked Taeyang…!‘ Well, it seems like no matter what I say, people won’t be satisfied (laughter). I really am just an innocent fan, please don’t misunderstand.”
The singer also revealed her thoughts on the parodies surrounding her ‘three level octave’ by adding, “I was really proud when I saw the first parody. I always thought that they were a refelection of your popularity. New versions are made every day, and I make sure to watch every single one.

T.O.P talks about his views on relationships on AnAn Magazine Read

10 Questions to understand T.O.P’s views on relationships

Q1. Are you in love right now?

I’m not. Right now, work is my priority. Because I’m the kind of person that becomes so engrossed that I can’t focus on work.

Q2. What is your ideal love?
The kind when I can be at peace even if we’re apart because there is trust between us.

Q3. What is your type?
My type is the woman I love. It has nothing to do with age or outward appearance. But if I have to say something, I’d say someone positive no matter the situation, someone that can grow together with me.

Q4. Have you cried in love so far?
Also for the sake of the next girl I’ll be dating, let me say no.

Q5. What do you think of women’s tears?
Honestly, it’s scary. I mean, I don’t understand/know what I’m supposed to do (laugh).

Q6. What is the best surprise you prepared for a date?
When I wrote a song for my girlfriend’s birthday. It’s a priviledge for people who do music to be able to express their feelings this way. She was very touched and cried.

Q7. If you were to have a date with a girl you like?
Walking while holding hands openly in a crowded place.

Q8. When was your first love?
When I was 19 years old. She was older than me. And the rest is a secret!

Q9. What do you do when you have a broken heart?
I want to stay alone and think. I don’t force myself to get loud with friends to conceal/take my mind off of the sadness.

Q10. What part of women do you like?
The ankle and the top part of the foot when they are wearing very high heels. I can’t help but look at it.
