Korean singer IU has sparked a heated debate among fans and online communities after using her ex-boyfriend Jang Kiha's song, 'No Troubles,' as background music (BGM) in a recent Instagram post. IU shared everyday photos with a short caption stating, 'Living diligently,' but the inclusion of Jang Kiha's music has led to interpretations beyond a simple song choice.
IU and Jang Kiha publicly dated for approximately three years from 2013, eventually breaking up in 2017. Despite the passage of time, IU's BGM selection has divided fans, with some viewing it as a mere reflection of her musical taste and others as an intentional message from a public figure. The controversy has been further fueled by the fact that Jang Kiha is currently in another public relationship. Some speculate that given IU's reputation for meticulously crafting messages in her SNS activities, this choice might also be deliberate.
Bloggers have noted the natural synergy between IU's caption, 'Living diligently,' and the song title, 'No Troubles,' and expressed delight at seeing her comfortable daily life photos, especially after fans had been concerned about her health. There is also a perspective that emphasizes IU's return to her normal routine rather than focusing on the use of her ex-boyfriend's music, indicating that interpretations of this controversy remain diverse.
