IU's latest updates have sparked widespread attention after she referenced her former lover, singer Jang Ki-ha.

Actor Ahn Seung-kyun posted a photo with IU on his Instagram on the 7th, accompanied by the message "Always reliable!" The two previously worked together in the 2018 drama "My Mister." While Ahn was performing in the play "The Come Up Puns," IU personally visited the venue to offer support, demonstrating exceptional loyalty.

The photo captures IU posing affectionately with Ahn Seung-kyun. Despite wearing a cap pulled low and a face mask, IU exuded a unique aura that drew attention.

This marks IU's first public update since referencing her ex-boyfriend, singer Jang Ki-ha, drawing significant interest. Recently, she set the background music for her social media post to Jang Ki-ha's hit song "Living Without Much Trouble," causing an online sensation. The timing was particularly meaningful, as it coincided with IU's breakup from former actor Lee Jong-suk and Jang Ki-ha's public relationship with 18-year-younger rookie Yoon Ga-i. Netizens continued to react strongly for two days, yet IU neither issued a statement nor removed the song selection.

Meanwhile, due to worsening symptoms of atrial septal defect, IU has canceled all plans for a comeback as a singer and her September concert in the second half of this year, entering a period of rest.
