Kiha is known for his specific style of music, where he "talks like he sings, sings like he talks.”
Kiha does his own thing. Dramabeans have once reviewed him as "the guy who's so unconcerned with being cool that he IS cool. By ignoring trends, he thereby sets his own."

On October 8, 2015, Chang and IU declared they had been in a romantic relationship[9] from 2013.[10] Despite remaining in good terms as friends, they split in January 2017.[11]
