IU defends Pilsook, her character in "Dream High"

After running into some criticism,�IU herself started defending the character she plays in "Dream High"! In "Dream High", the singer turned actress plays a fat high school girl who gets largely ignored due to her appearance. After getting rejected from her crush, Jason, played by 2PM's Wooyoung, she finally finds motivation to lose weight and turns into a pretty and cute girl. However, instead of saying only good things to her boy crush, she throws some harsh words at him, afraid that he will lose his focus in becoming a top star. IU revealed on her me2day, "This is Pilsook's last appearance before her transformation! Please don't hate her so much. She only said those things because she adores Jason. She did become harsh and critical after her diet, but she did not become a 'cold city woman'. Woo-U (Wooyoung & IU) fighting!" Netizens commented, "How can we hate her? She's so cute" and "I'm quite surprised that she acts better than expected. I hope Jason and Pilsook have a happy ending". We'll definitely be cheering on both IU and Pilsook!
