IU's Chang Ki-ha song stays on her post as deletion rumor falls apart

Singer IU's post, which featured music by her former partner Chang Ki-ha as background music (BGM) on her SNS, drew significant attention online. On the 6th, IU posted a recent photo on her SNS account with the caption, "Hello, it's been a while. I am living life diligently." The song 'Living Without Incident' by Chang Ki-ha and the Faces was used as the background music for this post.

The buzz and false report incident caused by IU's SNS song selection

While some media outlets reported that IU had deleted the background music surrounding the post, it has been confirmed that this is not true. IU maintained the music as it was until the afternoon of the 7th, approximately 24 hours after uploading the post. A happening occurred where a simple song selection combined with a false report, escalating into a deletion controversy.

Currently, IU is focusing on recovering her health, tentatively postponing all activities, including her scheduled Goyang Stadium performance in September and the release of her 6th studio album, due to the worsening of her patulous Eustachian tube symptoms.

Chang Ki-ha focuses on promoting the film 'San San Jo Gak' amidst the buzz

Although Chang Ki-ha's name was mentioned again due to IU's song selection, he continued his professional work without making any particular official statement. On the 7th, Chang Ki-ha shared a promotional video for the film 'San San Jo Gak' posted by the official CGV account via his own SNS.

The film 'San San Jo Gak' is a work produced based on poems written by Chang Ki-ha and songs included in his new album. Ahead of its exclusive release at CGV on the 26th, this film is an experimental project combining poetry, silent film, and music. Nine songs from Chang Ki-ha's new album flow through the film, and Chang Ki-ha appears in person to deliver poetic messages. It was previously released in the form of a 30-minute short film at the 27th Jeonju International Film Festival this past May.
