According to Allkpop, a post on the online community Pann Nate questioning the breakup of couple IU and Lee Jong Suk attracted more than 200,000 reads in a short time.
An audience member pointed out a previous article mentioning that IU and Lee Jong Suk did not spend their holidays together but had separate vacations. Therefore, this person affirmed: "The journalist indirectly said that they broke up."
The information given is not clear but causes a stir and makes the audience argue.
Many people believe that IU is busy with the first world tour of her career, so she has little time for personal relationships.
The last time the pair publicly connected was in March, when IU held a concert in Seoul (South Korea), Lee Jong Suk was also present to support his girlfriend.
Looking back on the journey of 10 years of knowing each other and two years of love, IU and Lee Jong Suk have been together for a long time and are supported and admired by millions of fans.
IU and Lee Jong Suk have known each other since 2012, when they both worked as MCs for SBS's music show Inkigayo.
They were not close because of differences in personality. But later Lee Jong Suk proactively contacted IU again and the two became friends.
During the 10 years of being friends, the pair always followed and supported each other's artistic activities. IU has recorded videos many times to congratulate Lee Jong Suk's fan meetings.
On the contrary, the actor came to support IU's concerts, openly expressing his love and support for the female singer's music products.
IU and Lee Jong Suk confirmed their relationship in December 2022. In his Daesang acceptance speech at the "2022 MBC Drama Awards", the actor thanked a special person whom he "liked and respected for a long time".
Lee Jong Suk made the public curious about the identity of "that person", rumored to be his girlfriend. The next day, Dispatch publicly announced that the girl Lee Jong Suk thanked was IU.
Afterwards, Lee Jong Suk's management company immediately confirmed that it was true.
When making their relationship public, IU said about her boyfriend: "My heart is getting warmer every day because he - a long-time colleague - is always by my side. He is someone who always supports me and tells me I'm a good person. The best person, who is cute, trustworthy and always gives me sincere encouragement."
Meanwhile, Lee Jong Suk also praised IU for being mature, making him a better person: "I first met her in my mid-20s and it felt like a young love, something That's so great that I can't achieve it.
We have been friends for a long time. She is a wonderful, mature person but also makes me want to protect her," the actor said.
