the song wasnt about the actual character, but what he represented within herself. his whole story was something she heavily identified with and found alluring. in regards to zeze, iu talked about identifying with the character, his naivety, his mischief, and how harshly he was punished regardless of the situation. shes said that she doesnt like the title of 'nation's little sister', and that was part of the motivation for the chatshire album: it was a whimsical, dark, and satirical look on several aspects of her life, her persona, and the people around her. iu's talked about how even at that age she was embarrassed, frustrated, and even a bit uncomfortable with how she was percieved, despite the fact that it earned her fame. this was someone whose debut image flopped, but once she was revamped with a 'bright, little sister' image, singing songs about loving her uncle fans all the while sporting pigtails and short dresses that barely covered her.

Iu admitted she made a gaff with her word choice regarding zeze, but i fully understand the idea and motivations behind the whole era. Is what true? there was a lot of discussion around the whole incident to the point where writers, professors, and cultural critics were all weighing in with their own opinions, so it really depends on what perspective you agree
