Singer IU used a song by her ex-lover Jang Kiha as SNS background music (BGM), drawing attention, and Jang Kiha, without any particular comment, shared that he is focusing on promoting his new work.
On the 7th, Jang Kiha shared on his SNS the promotional video for the film San San Jo Jak released by CGV's official account.
First, CGV released the video with the message "A film born from poetry, nine pieces of music, and Jang Kiha's questions about the cyclical life. Experience Jang Kiha's new record in theaters first and up close."
The released video contained scenes from the film San San Jo Jak, which is set to open exclusively at CGV on the 26th. The work was produced based on poems written directly by Jang Kiha and songs included on his new record, and it was first shown at the 27th Jeonju International Film Festival.
Earlier, on the 6th IU posted on SNS several recent photos with the caption "living life diligently." The background music for that post was Jang Kiha and the Faces' "Living without incident," prompting various reactions online when she chose that song.
IU and Jang Kiha publicly acknowledged their relationship in 2015 and dated for about two years before breaking up in 2017. Now, about nine years later, some netizens have ascribed meaning to the song choice, while others argued that given how long ago it was, such interpretations are excessive, sparking debate.
Meanwhile, apart from this buzz, Jang Kiha has continued his activities by sharing news of his new film and music without making any particular statement, drawing attention once again.
