What he said, plus "Iya" means "no" because something is disagreeable to the sayer, whereas "Iie" is just a simple "no."

while "iya" is refusal (more emotional), "iie" is just a denial
(more generic), i think

いや(iya)-means "NO!!!", sort of a rude, assertive no.
いいえ(iie)-means "no"...it is just plain no. It is niether rude or polite(not that there is a polite "no")

Why did you use Korean writing?

Did you put this in the Japan category by mistake???
