South Korean singer IU faced online backlash and misinformation after setting a song by her ex-boyfriend as background music on social media. Despite false reports claiming she deleted the track, the music remains on her profile.
Why it matters
Demonstrates the speed at which misinformation spreads regarding celebrity personal lives and the impact of social media scrutiny.
Earlier on August 6th, soloist and actress IU shared several recent photos with the caption “ Living earnestly ” on her social media account. The background music for the post was set to a song by Jang Ki Ha , her ex-boyfriend, sparking public attention.
