IU talked about how her being in a relationship with Jang Ki Ha has affected her newly released mini-album “Chat-shire.”

During IU’s “Chat-shire” album release showcase on October 23, she revealed, “I really feel like I’m living life these days. I especially felt it while preparing this album. It’s like my blood is flowing faster. Sometimes I saw the devil in me.”

Someone asked, “Isn’t it because you’re dating (Jang Ki Ha)?” to which IU replied, “There are many reasons. It hasn’t been long since I’ve announced my relationship news, but we’ve been dating for two years now. (My relationship) doesn’t affect my level of happiness as of now. It’s because of my new album.”

The singer ended with, “I didn’t know if this album would be relatable to many people, so I worried a lot. But many people liked it and it’s doing well. When I checked the music charts, I literally awed. I was so grateful that a ‘thank you’ just spill out. I was so humbled by the results.”

JYP Entertainment's J.Y. Park appeared on JTBC's 'Newsroom' on May 5 to talk about a variety of things, including IU, who auditioned for the agency, and EXID's Hani, who was a trainee.

J.Y. Park said in relation to losing these now successful ladies, "The timing was not right for their color or the direction they were going. If anything, it could be that they did well because they left."

In relation to being the oldest singer in first place, J.Y. Park said, "After being first place for two weeks, I've now come down. I was called the oldest. I don't know if I should be happy about that. When I debuted, I wanted to become a long-time singer more than a popular singer. I especially wanted to be a dance singer and in that regard, I am both proud and a bit scared as I wonder why it's only me [remaining as an older dance singer]."
