Singer and actress IU has drawn attention over whether she deleted a song by her ex-boyfriend, singer Long Ki-ha, after posting it on social media. Meanwhile, Long Ki-ha quietly posted only his own promotional content.
On the 7th, multiple media outlets reported that IU had uploaded one of Long Ki-ha's songs as the background music for her Instagram but later deleted it.
However, as of 4 p.m. on the same day, IU continued to use the song by Long Ki-ha that she had posted in her recent update on the 6th, confirming that reports of her deleting the background music were false. IU used Long Ki-ha's track unchanged for approximately 24 hours.

During this time, Long Ki-ha posted on his Instagram about the release of a short film titled "Sunsanjogak" related to his new album. The video featured Long Ki-ha's song "An Absurd Story," and he shared CGV's post on his Instagram story: "A film inspired by poetry, nine songs, and Long Ki-ha's questions about life that goes around and around. Experience Long Ki-ha's new album first and closest at the cinema! #Sunsanjogak August 26 #CGV Exclusive Release."
Long Ki-ha previously showcased part of his album "Sunsanjogak" in short film form at the 27th Jeonju International Film Festival held in May. The approximately 30-minute film was produced with album tracks playing sequentially in the background, and Long Ki-ha appeared directly in the movie. The songs featured in the film are now being released as a formal album. This album was completed through a unique creative process connecting poetry, silent films, and music.

On the 6th, IU posted an update saying, "Hello, it's been a while. I'm living hard." Recently, after her glaucoma symptoms worsened and she temporarily postponed official schedules, IU directly shared her status via selfies. In this post, she chose "Living Without Trouble" by Long Ki-ha and the Faces, the band of her former openly dating partner Long Ki-ha, as the background music, drawing attention.
IU officially acknowledged her relationship with Long Ki-ha in 2015 and announced their breakup in 2017. Later, after publicly dating actor Lee Jong-seok in 2022, she confirmed their breakup this year.
Long Ki-ha has been known to still be in a romantic relationship with actress Yoon Ga-i, who is 18 years his junior, after acknowledging their romance on the 18th.
