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." Source: OSEN via Nate
