Singer IU posted recent photos on her personal account and selected a song by her former boyfriend, Jang Ki-ha, as the background music. As IU shared her latest updates after a long break, attention focused on the background music, even summoning Yoon Ga-i, Jang Ki-ha's current girlfriend.

On the 6th, IU posted daily life photos on her personal account and announced, "Hello, it's been a while. I'm living hard."

IU, who recently announced that symptoms of glaucoma had worsened and temporarily postponed official schedules, drew attention upon sharing her latest updates. While IU's pretty face captured viewers' eyes, she selected Jang Ki-ha and The Faceless' "Living Without Trouble" as the background music for the post, sparking further discussion.

Reactions to IU's song selection included "cool," but some also found it significant that she chose music by Jang Ki-ha, who recently began a public relationship with 18-year-younger actor Yoon Ga-i, after IU herself ended her relationship with actor Lee Jong-suk.

Some argue there is no major significance since the two have been separated for nearly 10 years, but the fact that Jang Ki-ha recently officially acknowledged his new relationship has drawn even more attention, leading to ongoing debate.

Previously, IU officially confirmed her relationship with Jang Ki-ha in 2015 and announced their breakup in 2017. Afterward, IU publicly dated actor Lee Jong-suk starting in 2022 before announcing their separation this year.

Jang Ki-ha recently sparked discussion by acknowledging his relationship with 18-year-younger actress Yoon Ga-i.
