    Netizens commented:

    No, IU is in her 30s, but she still looks pretty young. Who the hell do you think you are?

    She's f***ing 30, so of course she certainly didn't look like a girl anymore, isn't really that obvious? It's not like IU isn't talented and lives off of her girly image, but this person is putting her down with a fact like this. you should take care of your own life.

    She does not really look old at all from the pictures that were posted here. She just looks so tired from practicing outside so much. She's so pretty, so why are people saying she looks old?

    Why are you comparing her face now to how it looked when she was on "Hyori's Bed and Breakfast" five years ago? Instead, you should try comparing your own face now to how it looked five years ago.

    What is this person is talking about? She still appears to look like she is in her early 20s.

    What are your thoughts?
