South Korean stars Lee Jong Suk and IU have once again found themselves at the center of breakup speculations, but recent sightings suggest that the couple is still going strong. Rumours of a split began circulating last month, leaving fans concerned. However, a potential sighting of Lee Jong Suk at IU’s recent concert in Seoul has caused excitement among fans, as many believe the couple is still together.

Breakup Rumours Circulate Online

Over the past few months, rumours surrounding Lee Jong Suk and IU’s relationship have been the topic of much discussion in South Korea. Speculation intensified following a viral post claiming the couple had ended their relationship. The lack of public appearances together only fueled these rumours, with some media outlets subtly hinting at a possible breakup. For fans of the couple, the news was disappointing, considering the public’s admiration for their relationship, which blossomed from friendship into romance.

Despite this, the couple has maintained a low profile, leading to further conjecture. However, it now appears that the reports of their breakup may have been premature, thanks to the recent event at IU‘s concert in Seoul.

Lee Jong Suk Allegedly Spotted at IU’s Concert

Amid IU’s ongoing 2024 IU HEREH World Tour Concert Encore performances, held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, fans were quick to notice a familiar face in the crowd. On September 21, 2024, a man dressed in a black bucket hat and mask was spotted by concertgoers, and many believe it was none other than Lee Jong Suk. Social media posts quickly spread, with fans convinced that the man in question was the Pinocchio actor, attending the concert to support his girlfriend.

One fan tweeted, “Streets are saying it’s Lee Jong Suk,” sparking discussions online about whether the actor had indeed attended the concert. The K-drama star has been known for supporting IU in her musical ventures, often attending her shows quietly alongside his team members. His presence on Saturday further fueled speculation when he was seen next to a staff member from a previous concert appearance. These details have convinced many that the mystery man was indeed Lee Jong Suk.

The Couple’s Low-Profile Relationship

While Lee Jong Suk and IU have mostly kept their relationship private, they have never shied away from publicly acknowledging each other when necessary. Earlier this year, Lee Jong Suk was spotted at one of IU’s concerts, solidifying his reputation as a supportive partner.

Fans also remember when the actor made headlines during the 2022 MBC Drama Awards. After winning the Daesang (Grand Prize) for his performance, Lee Jong Suk took the opportunity to dedicate his award to a “special someone,” sparking widespread speculation that he was referring to IU. At the time, many K-netizens were confident that the actor’s heartfelt speech was directed toward his girlfriend, although neither Lee Jong Suk nor IU publicly confirmed the connection.

Long-Time Friends Turned Lovers

The love story between IU and Lee Jong Suk is one that began over a decade ago when the two first met as co-hosts of SBS’s music program Inkigayo in 2012. Their connection grew over the years, and by the end of 2022, Dispatch, a well-known media outlet, officially revealed their relationship in its customary New Year couple announcement. Following Dispatch’s report, both IU and Lee Jong Suk confirmed their relationship through their respective agencies, much to the delight of their fans.

Although the couple has maintained a low profile in terms of public appearances, their enduring relationship has captured the attention of fans and media alike. Despite the recent rumours and media speculation, the sighting of Lee Jong Suk at IU‘s concert suggests that the couple remains together and continues to support one another.
