On the 6th, IU posted several photos on her
social media account
along with the caption, “Hi, it’s been a while.” The photos showed what IU has been up to lately, as she shared a glimpse of her simple daily life with her fans.
However, speculation is swirling over the background music she selected to accompany these photos. She chose the song “Living Without a Hitch” by her ex-boyfriend, Jang Ki-ha. The two began dating publicly in 2015 and broke up in 2017.
Jang Ki-ha is currently in a public relationship with actress Yoon Ga-i. Some netizens have criticized IU’s song choice, arguing she showed no consideration for her ex-boyfriend, while others view it as “just a song choice” or say she’s “cool” about it.
In particular, this post is drawing attention as it is the first one IU has shared since her breakup with actor Lee Jong-suk. The two had been in a public relationship for four years after officially confirming their romance in 2022. Various interpretations are emerging regarding her decision to feature a song by her ex-boyfriend immediately after their breakup.
Meanwhile, due to a worsening of her eustachian tube dysfunction, IU canceled her concert at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium scheduled for this September and has also postponed the release of her sixth studio album.
