Choiza, aka Choi Jae-ho, and late K-pop idol Sulli, aka Choi Jin-ri, publicly dated between 2013 and 2017. Their relationship reportedly drew malicious comments and hate from netizens. Additionally, the lyrics of the song Eat Pray Love by Dynamic Duo were interpreted to be s*xual and provocative in nature.

The song was released in 2015, while they were still dating, and netizens assumed the lyrics to be referring to Sulli. Following Sulli's demise in 2019, Choiza shared his grievances through an Instagram post about the late K-pop idol. He received criticism from netizens who accused him of contributing to the pressure faced by Sulli.

Moreover, Sulli's mother appeared in an MBC documentary aired in 2020, where she expressed her disapproval of her daughter's relationship with the Dynamic Duo member, expressing concerns about their 13-year age gap. After the documentary's release, Choiza came under public scrutiny.
