Lee Mi-joo remarked, "The lyrics are so sad," and added, "I have sung this song at karaoke while crying," to which Kim Hee-chul asked, "Were you dumped?" She replied, "I have sung it after being dumped by my ex-boyfriend. I sang it while crying."
Lee Mi-joo confirmed her relationship with football player Song Beom-keun, who is three years younger, in April last year. However, just nine months later, in January this year, rumors of their breakup emerged, and her agency, Antenna, maintained silence, stating it was a "private matter."
