IU and Lee Jong Suk breakup rumors swirl online : fans breathe easier after spotting one key detail
Breakup rumors about IU and Lee Jong Suk are spreading online, but one small detail has fans feeling relieved and hopeful for the couple.
At the end of 2022, IU and Lee Jong Suk confirmed their relationship, surprising the entertainment world and prompting warm wishes from fans. The pair have been dating quietly for 3 years, so recent breakup rumors came as a surprise. Thankfully, fans aren’t convinced, after spotting one key detail.
The latest rumor actually began on Weibo in China. After seeing IU wear a ring on her index finger rather than her ring finger, some users interpreted it as a sign that she was single again, setting off this mistaken report. Sharp-eyed fans pointed out that Korean media outlets have not reported a breakup between the pair at all. If it were true, surely the news would have been reported by the Korean press first.
In fact, IU and Lee Jong Suk have been together for 3 years. Early in their relationship, he would occasionally share subtle glimpses of their romance, only to be criticized for using his girlfriend for attention. It left him feeling awkward, and he even chose to attend her concerts quietly. When they confirmed their relationship, IU shared that she had known Lee Jong Suk for many years and had relied on his encouragement and support to get through difficult times. They clearly mean a great deal to each other, and we hope they can tune out the outside noise and continue on happily together.
