There will be further announcements in regards to the schedule of the release. We wish that many fans who have been waiting for the release may understand."

This announcement came in the wake of  Sulli's sudden suicide. The agency said, "We want to express our deepest condolences and pray for the repose of the departed."

On October 11th, IU informed on her comeback by her fifth mini-album 'Love Poem'. 

She has been speeding up her return as a singer by releasing a Comeback time table. However, because of her friend's tragic death, she decided to stop the pre-release of her Comeback album contents. 

The two have been in friendships for a long time, working together as music broadcast MCs. In August, Sulli made her appearance as a special guest in tvN's Drama, "Hotel del Luna" where IU is the main lead actress, boasting their close friendship.
