Dongnyok wrote on facebook under the title, "Miss IU. Zeze is not that kind of child." The parts of the lyrics they had a problem with go, "Zeze, quickly come up the tree, put your lips on the leaf / anda should not play around, anda should not hurt the pohon / quickly come up the pohon and, from here, take the youngest leaf / You're very innocent, but also cunning for sure / even though anda are easy to see through like a young child, anda are dirty somewhere / anda can never tell what lives within that."
Dongnyok wrote, "Zeze is a five-year-old child who gets abused oleh his family and is full of hurt. So many readers shed tears at Zeze's words, 'Why must children grow up?' However, Zeze is cunning in the song made from the point of [the tree]? 'My Sweet jeruk, orange Tree' is also an autobiographical novel of the writer. It is also a book that is meant to console the many Zezes who could even now be getting hurt. The writer had an intention [to console other Zezes] yet anda assess the work like this.
"Of course there is freedom to write and interpret how anda want. However, it is extremely unfortunate that you've used five-year-old Zeze as a sexual object when he is carrying pain from abuse. Freedom of expression is something that can happen if the public can sympathize with it. To put Zeze in a fishnet kaus, kaus kaki and make him pose as a pin-up girl. A pin-up girl has multiple elements of extreme commercialization and sexualization.
"Also, Zeze's double personality of being both innocent and tampilkan a lot of severe behavior shows up because of his defiance following his severe abuse and his lack of affection in the end. Meaning that this was not formed oleh nature but was acquired mainly because of his abuse. As a result, we deem it a wrongful interpretation to call Zeze cruel and sly."
Meanwhile, IU's side continues to be silent on the matter, instead choosing to update fan on her fan meeting. Your thoughts?
