Well, this pairing was unlikely!

Local news media Dispatch is reporting that singers IU and Jang Ki Ha (of the band Jang Ki Ha and the Faces) have been dating since March this year. They have been making the time to see each other despite their busy schedules; for example, IU would immediately go see Jang Ki Ha after returning from her trip to Shanghai on August 30 before going to practice for her fan meeting. The same goes for September 7, when IU would go straight to Mapo after returning from Hong Kong. Their usual dating location was at home at each other’s houses (Jang Ki Ha’s located in the Mapo District and IU in the Yongsan Distctrict, Seoul).

When both are not busy, according to Dispatch, Jang Ki Ha would be the one to go see IU, driving to Yongsan in his Hyundai i30. Their date outfits were nothing special: casual and dark, but they were often adorning masks because they are wary of the public.

IU is 22 years old and Jang Ki Ha is 33. Despite the 11-year age difference, they have a lot to talk about with each other, especially about music. According to Dispatch, an acquaintance of both told them that IU and Jang Ki Ha connected through music and their relationship naturally developed into a romantic one.

[OSEN=Lee Hye Rin] It was expected that it would be unique, but it was more than expected.

IU’s version of Seo Taiji’s new song ‘Seogyeokdong’ which was released on 2nd, 12 am was not an easy song to understand at once. Even though it was the first time for him to release a pre-release song and notice his comeback with a song which a junior singer sang alone, the song itself was unique than anything else.

The most ear-catching thing is the slow unique music with the electronic source at the main. It is yet an uncommon combination in domestic music charts. Although electronic music has...
