IU looks like Puss in Boots from Shrek?

IU has become a hot topic for looking like the character Puss in Boots from the animated movie 'Shrek.'

A set of IU's photos were uploaded to an online community board along with the title "IU making the face of the cat from 'Shrek,' 3-level high notes in Japan. Happy Music."
