Eunhyuk and IU?

I get my kpop news primarily from allkpop and I do know they're prone to posting meaningless and old news at times. However, today's BREAKING (news) certainly caught my attention.

IU and Eunhyuk dating? 

Couldn't believe it at first and thought I'll probably see one of those blurry photos or realise they're filming some drama/cf that kinda thing. Imagine my, and I suppose tons of allkpop readers' surprise, when Eunhyuk's closeup popped up on the screen (with half of IU's). If not for the fact that IU posted the photo herself, the girl could be anyone! Although a friend vehemently states that even if it were just a tiny fraction of face, she could tell it was IU right away. Erm, okay.

Frankly, this is no flattering shot of Eunhyuk. I can see why people are speculating that they're on a bed and that he's shirtless. It looks that way. Well, there are people who claim that both the above are false. Fine, they can see something the rest of us can't. 

Loen has also published a statement which is SO absurd but there are also people who choose to believe it. Yes, when you visit a sick friend, please remove your shirt. It would definitely speed up their recovery. *cough*

Anyway, I don't think there's anything wrong with idols dating. Fans must remember that their idols (oppas and unnies) are human too. Are they going to stay single till they're 50?? Yup, IU has the innocent image but she could also be sick of that image. The company gave her the image. The public gave her the image. She did do a Hyuna at her concert which means this little girl is growing up. Give her some space! 

Fans who suddenly become haters just because of this, PLEASE. If you're a tween/teen, GROW UP. If you're already of a certain age and still delusional, GET A LIFE. You must realise that your idols do not know you exist. 

I personally am happy if they are dating. I can understand the pang of jealousy some fans feel. When TOP was rumored/actually dating Shin Min Ah, I was kinda miffed. A recent Taeyang photo with a YG dancer with the caption suggesting the 2 are close, I was pretty miffed too. IU declaring Taeyang was her ideal type got me annoyed at her too. But then I got over it. I am like, how old to be affected by these things?
