In August, rumors that Korean artist couple Lee Jong Suk and IU had broken up after nearly 2 years of publicly dating spread on social media.
Both of them have not spoken out about this issue so far. But recently, the actor of the movie "Big Mouth" made a move that attracted attention, causing many people to discuss and speculate about the situation between him and IU.
During a fan meeting event, when Lee Jong Suk asked a female fan her name, she said her name was Lee Ji Eun. Coincidentally, this is also the real name of singer and actress IU - Lee Jong Suk's girlfriend.
As soon as he heard this name, Lee Jong Suk looked confused. He smiled shyly, constantly turned his face to the side and could not respond to the fans immediately.
The actor's attitude is considered a move to dispel rumors of his breakup with IU. Many viewers also believe that the couple's breakup rumors are false, because Lee Jong Suk's expression shows that he and his girlfriend are still very affectionate.
Rumors of their breakup arose after an article mentioned that IU and Lee Jong Suk did not spend their holidays together but had separate vacations. Therefore, an account on Pann asserted, "The journalist indirectly said that they broke up."
The post attracted more than 200 thousand views in just 1 day. However, this rumor also received many mixed opinions.
Many viewers believe that the evidence mentioned is very unreliable. They point out that singer IU has recently been very busy with her first world tour in her career, so her time with her boyfriend will be limited.
On the other hand, both of them are famous and have known each other for more than 10 years, even before they publicly dated, so they will easily sympathize and arrange suitable schedules to maintain the relationship.
In March, during IU's world tour kick-off concert in Seoul, South Korea, Lee Jong Suk was present to support his girlfriend.
Previously, the couple confirmed their relationship on December 31, 2022, after Dispatch news agency released evidence of the two vacationing together during the Christmas holiday.
