IU Faces Unnecessary Hate For Using Ex’s Song In Insta Post. Can Fans Just Chill?

The entertainment world is quite harsh on women in almost every way. Whatever they do or say always seems to be held against them, and they end up being vilified like mad by so many people. Recently, the popular actor and singer known as IU found herself stuck in the middle of an online controversy after she used a song by her ex in one of her most recent Instagram posts. Please read on to know all about this whole situation and what happened next.

X Users Dragging IU For Using Ex’s Song In Insta Post Is Exhausting

IU once dated musician Chang Kiha. They split up almost ten years ago. In her recent post she used a song linked to his group. Some saw it as a sign that things had ended on friendly terms. Others felt it looked odd because Chang Kiha is now in a public relationship. Netizens wondered why she chose that track. They linked it to past moments involving her past partners and asked if she really needed to use the song given his current situation.

Later reports showed that IU removed the song from the post after the unexpected backlash. What started as simple background music quickly grew into a bigger discussion.

IU and Chang Kiha were once a well-known couple. They met on a radio show in 2013 despite an eleven-year age gap. They confirmed they were together in 2015 and stayed a couple for about two years before parting in 2017.

On the other hand, just recently, it was revealed that IU and Lee Jong-suk broke up. After that announcement, news about her poor health came out.
