Recently, Mark Lee made a post on Instagram and Weverse that stirred up much controversy online.
While the photos themselves were fine, his song choice garnered much attention.
He used IU’s “Bye, Summer,” which is a well-known fan song. He also posted a fan-made video that used this song in a Weverse post.
However, this garnered a negative response from IU fans.
생일해시에 아이유 가사 인용한건 걍 넘어갔는데 왜 자기들끼리 아이유 팬송으로 서사 만들어서 부둥켜안고 엉엉 우는거지 덕질을 신기하게 하네 https://t.co/6nAr46V3U8 pic.twitter.com/o14uX12rKh

I let it go when they used part of IU’s lyrics for his birthday hashtag, but I cannot understand why they are using IU’s fan song for their own narrative and crying over it.
왜 남의 팬송을 본인들 서사 쌓는데 이용하시는 건가요?? https://t.co/zs530l1fu5

Why are you using someone else’s fan song to create your own narrative?

The comments left under the song on Melon are so ridiculous. Just f*ck off. Your Mark has gone off to be with Jesus.
