Singer-actress IU is drawing attention after choosing a song by her ex-boyfriend, Jang Kiha, as background music.
On the 6th, IU posted a flurry of photos sharing updates on her life, accompanied by captions such as "Hello, it's been a while," "Living life to the fullest," and "A very belated birthday meal."
Above all, the choice of "Living Without Anything Special" by Kiha & The Faces as the background music drew significant attention. This is because Jang Kiha is currently in a public relationship with actress Yoon Ga-yi, while also having a history of a public relationship with IU.
Jang Kiha is currently dating actress Yoon Ga-yi publicly. The two reportedly grew close while working on Coupang Play’s *SNL Korea Season 4* in 2023 and subsequently became a couple.
IU’s choice of song drew particular attention given that she had previously been in a public relationship with actor Lee Jong-suk, starting in 2022, before announcing their breakup last month.
Netizens reacted to her song choice with comments such as, "To think she’d choose a song by Jang Kiha as background music," "Is she really this cool about it?" and "It feels a bit strange." On the other hand, there were also more nonchalant reactions, such as, "A song is just a song," and "If it’s a relationship from ten years ago, it probably doesn't bother her at all."

1. I don't think she deserves a huge hate bandwagon coming at her but.... What she did will inevitably draw conversations
2. As the current girlfriend of Jang Kiha, I'd be so freaking annoyed
3. Seriously what made insist on picking this song of all songs...? There are so many songs to choose from
4. Her actions can never be 100% clean ㅋㅋ
5. Do you really think his current girlfriend will care about a girl he dated 10 years ago?
6. It feels unnecessary, and she definitely knew that people will react a certain way. It just makes me realize, this is the kind of mentality celebrities must have to be able to stir the pot like that ㅋㅋ
7. Imagine drawing your own trolls to you. You may feel like this is unnecessary, but it's a celebrity we're talking about ㅠㅠ
8. Ah... She's freaking oba, imagine creating your own controversies
9. How old is she that she's still acting like that? And she broke up with him so long ago
10. Celebrities are such attention seekers ㅋ
11. If I were in that situation, I would definitely not be doing this out of being "cool"
12. So unnecessary...
13. Are they dating again?
14. Ah she looks like such a jjindda
15. Do people really think that this is "cool"? ㅋㅋ
