It was October 8, when the renowned singer and composer, Kim Haneul, also known as Rottyful Sky, passed away due to a tumour in her brain. Later after knowing the news, singer, Kahi expressed her condolences to her "It's Me" song composer.

However, this post on Twitter stirred up accusations that Kahi was just using the late Rottyful Sky for her promotional activities since her album was just released, two days after the composer's death.

And so Kahi stated, "I felt hurt and sad that people would perceive it that way."

During an interview for OSEN on October 11, Kahi commented, "I had a legitimate reason for leaving those messages.  How could I take advantage of someone who passed away?"

Then she added, "I met Haneul at the Bible study meeting called 'The Gathering for Beauties who Love God.'  While talking about our lives, I found out naturally that she composed music.  She told me she had a song that would match me well and sent 'It's ME.'"

The depressing news about Rottyful Sky's death reached Kahi when she was pre-recording her comeback stage.  She stated, "I finished the pre-recording without being aware of how the time passed and went to Haneul's side. There, I exchanged a lot of words with her mother who told me, 'Kahi, this is a present Haneul left me. From now on, please spread Haneul's name.' As my comeback song 'It's ME' was Haneul's song, I thought the only method of getting her name out there was to take responsibility for it being Haneul's song and promote it more diligently.  After a great deal of worries and thought, I left the message on Twitter."
