"Lee Jong Suk and IU have recently developed from a close relationship as colleagues to lovers, and are sincerely dating."
Not only Koreans, but also people in Asia were shocked by the love news.
These two artists are both top stars in Korea, and many people should be familiar with them.
IU, who was born in 1993, debuted as a singer at the age of 15. She quickly became popular in South Korea with her song "Good Days". The two albums she released later further established her status in the Korean music scene.
Coupled with her innocent and cute girl-next-door image, IU was once called the "national sister."
But she did not stop there. Instead, while expanding her music career, she began to enter the entertainment industry as an actor.
Therefore, she not only composed many popular songs, but also participated in many classic Korean dramas.
《Dream Kim Pil-sook, who has a heavenly singing voice and has achieved amazing weight loss transformation in "High", Cindy, a big star who looks cold but is actually cute and arrogant in " Producer ",
In "My Uncle", Li Zhian, who works hard to pay off debts and is tired of the world...
Each of these characters has a strong personality, but IU digested them well and contributed wonderful performances every time. She was even ranked first in the world's " Google most searched Korean actor" in the first half of 2022.
Lee Jong Suk is also one of the most popular actors in South Korea. Like IU, he has already entered the entertainment industry in adolescence.
html He debuted as a model when he was 116 years old, and then moved to the television industry. He became famous with his tall and handsome appearance.
The class monitor and former school bully in " School 2013" Go Nam-sun ,
The super-powered boy in " Hear Your Voice " Park Soo-ha ,
" Pinocchio ", the passionate journalist Choi Dal-bu whose life experience is a mystery,
the "tearing man" in "W-Two Worlds" Jiang Zhe...
After being discharged from the army, he also participated in the movie " Witch 2" and the TV series " Black Talk Lawyer ", and his performance in each work will arouse enthusiastic responses.
In the minds of many netizens, both Lee Jong Suk and IU can be regarded as one of the representatives of Korean entertainment. But what everyone never expected is that these two big stars are actually together!
During the recent Christmas period, Korean media photographed the two of them dating in a luxury resort in Nagoya, Japan. The holiday date lasted for 3 days and 2 nights. For this couple, the exotic vacation must be a sweet and unforgettable experience.
They were very careful to keep their romance low-key, so whether they were going to Japan or back to South Korea, they would board the plane separately.
On December 20, Lee Jong Suk went to Osaka to attend a fan meeting. Four days later, IU took a flight to Nagoya.

The final destination of the two is the best resort in Nagoya. Lee Jong Suk arrived in Nagoya to meet IU after the fan meeting, and IU's brother was also traveling with him.

According to Korean media reports, Lee Jong Suk really likes IU. He prepared this trip to Japan by himself. Even his agent did not know about it. Lee Jong Suk not only made a hotel reservation by himself, but also arranged a pick-up service.
And in order to spend 3 days and 2 nights with IU, his schedule during that period was crazy. He was in Osaka on the 20th, Tokyo on the 23rd, Nagoya on the 24th, immediately returned to Tokyo on the 26th, and returned to South Korea on the 27th.

That is to say, from the 20th to the 27th, he has to travel frequently to 3 cities in Japan, working and dating, and taking care of IU's family.
Yes, they have all met each other's families and have a good relationship with each other's families.
In October, IU sang a congratulatory song for Lee Jong Suk's younger brother's wedding. When
IU left the wedding venue, Lee Jong Suk even came to say goodbye.
When this incident was exposed, netizens were still envious of the "friendship" between the two people supporting each other, but now everyone is suddenly aware of it.
According to D agency, the couple's aura was so obvious in private. Although they took different planes during the Christmas trip and traveled separately, they wore the same glasses and carried the same bag. "You could tell they were a couple at a glance."
Such a romantic atmosphere is actually very surprising when it comes to the two of them, because they have always been good friends in everyone's perception.
Friends of ten years fell in love, and later developed into lovers, just like the plot in a TV series.
The fate of the two of them can be traced back to August 2012. The two of them worked together on the TV station as the hosts of the " Popular Songs " program.
They were all relatively immature at the time. Since the audience of this show was relatively young, as hosts, they often dressed up in different themes.
For example, the snowman combination,
Leon and Matilda in " This Killer Is Not Too Cold",
and the elves, etc.
IU would take the initiative to give various dressing suggestions to the program crew. Lee Jong Suk once had an awkward moment because he didn't like IU's suggestions.
This incident led to rumors that the two were at odds. Lee Jong Suk also confessed on the show, "I kind of hated IU at the time." However, he emphasized that the two eventually became good friends.
Maybe even he himself did not expect that the enemy who was so "disliked" back then would now become an indispensable and important presence in his life.
In fact, during these ten years, they have been good friends who have silently supported each other.
The two people will not only meet at public events,
privately, Lee Jong Suk will also go to IU's concerts.
However, they never crossed the boundaries of friendship, and each had other lovers during this period.
Coincidentally, D agency is responsible for almost all the scandals and romances between the two of them.
In 2015, D agency exposed the relationship between IU and singer Jang Kiha. Jang Kihe was 11 years older than IU. The two had been dating for two years at the time. This relationship also caused a sensation at the time.
In the same year, D agency also exposed the date photos of Lee Jong Suk and actor Park Shin Hye , but they were denied by both parties, saying that they were just close friends. After
IU broke up with Jang Ki Ha in 2017, she and Lee Jong Suk have not had any romantic relationships exposed in recent years. They still seem to have maintained a good relationship. However, I don’t know at which moment, the friendship began to spark ambiguous sparks, turning them from friends into lovers.
After the love affair was exposed, netizens began to review the clues of this relationship, and they discovered to their surprise: Lee Jong Suk is really completely in love this time!
For example, before joining the army, when Lee Jong Suk was asked about his ideal girlfriend, his answer was still a tall and thin girl.
But after being discharged from the army, the ideal type almost became IU herself.
"It would be great if the other person is a wise, strong, respectable, and most importantly, lovely person."
What's even more obvious is that in another question in the same interview, he immediately mentioned "I've been listening to IU's songs a lot lately" .
This interview really exposed Lee Jong Suk’s desire to get married. He even admitted that he wanted to take a “groom class”.
He was asked at that time, what would he like to do if he could take a long break?
His answer turned out to be,
"Groom class? When I was in my 20s, I once said that I hoped to get married as soon as possible when I was young and beautiful.
Now I have reached an age where marriage is not surprising. If I can rest for a long time, I feel It’s not bad to take grooming classes in advance.
I already have longings and fantasies about family. For my future wife, I can also learn cooking, massage and other things. "
Please put "want to get married" on the public screen.
Korean media reports mentioned that the two people are exerting a positive influence on each other. In this way, under the influence of IU, Lee Jong Suk seems to have really changed a lot.
is not only about the idea of marriage, but his own personality has also become much more positive. At this year's fan meeting, his motto changed from "What is life for" to "I am very happy".
The more important thing was at the award ceremony of MBC Drama Awards . Lee Jong Suk won the award. When he received the award and gave a speech, he dedicated the honor of the award to "that person" on the stage.
At that time, he did not say who "that person" was, but his affectionate confession was touching.
"I had a lot of fear and distress after completing my military service, but there was a person who helped me find a good direction and gave me positive thoughts.
Taking this opportunity, I would like to think about that People say, thank you for always being so handsome, and, I... I have liked you very much and respected you very much since a long time ago. "
Now everyone knows that "that person" is IU!
Although everyone was shocked by the romance of this couple at first, they felt that they were a perfect match and wanted to send blessings to them.
"Wow, this is an unexpected couple, but they match well, congratulations."
"I knew it vaguely before the report came out. Lee Jong Suk's acceptance speech seemed to be addressed to his lover. ."
"Oh my god, the two of them are so perfect."
Netizens from all platforms and countries started a melon-eating carnival, and fans gave tearful blessings.
"The sweet speech after winning the grand prize last night was originally for IU. IU was also invited to my brother's wedding. I didn't even think it was a date hahaha."
"This couple is the Korean drama partner I have been dreaming about!!! Now they have become a real couple. ! ! ! "
"They are all my babies, you must be happy~"
"Congratulations! ! !
I didn’t expect to have a great time in Nagoya! ! !
I wish you happiness~"
"The best couple ever! ! "
" I was shocked! Congratulations”
"This is...!!
is really a top couple!!!"
Congratulations to these two ten-year friends, I wish them continued happiness in the new year~
