Lee Jong Suk and IU surprised everyone with their dating news on the last day of 2022!

Did you know where it all started? Last December 30, during Lee Jong Suk’s acceptance speech for winning the Daesang in the “2022 MBC Drama Awards“, he mentioned that a special someone helped him in difficult times after being discharged from the military.

After completing my military service, I had a lot of worries but at that time, there was someone who helped me to find a good direction as a human being and to think positive thoughts. I want to tell that person that I’m thankful to them for always being so admirable, that I’ve liked them a lot for a very long time, and that I respect and admire them greatly.

This acceptance speech made noise among Korean netizens and international fans about whether it was Lee Jong Suk’s confession or for his girlfriend.

On December 31st, Lee Jong Suk’s management company HighZium Studio addressed the rumors, saying that the actor was only thanking a special person and that they could not reveal the identity of this individual NOT UNTIL DISPATCH HAPPENED. You may already be familiar with them if you have a deep interest in Korean pop culture. Dispatch is a Korean internet news source covering the entertainment business. They usually reveal celebrity pairings on New Year’s Day, so this announcement a day beforehand caught everyone by surprise.

Dispatch reports that IU and Lee Jong Suk have been dating for four months and recently spent Christmas in Japan. IU sang a congratulatory song at Jongsuk’s brother’s wedding in October, and the two have introduced each other to their respective inner circles of friends and family.

Soon after IU and Lee Jong Suk’s relationship was confirmed by HighZium Studio and Edam Entertainment, the two wrote heartfelt letters talking about their dating news in their respective fancafes and it’s the sweetest thing ever.

He was a colleague for a long time, and we are building up positive feelings while relying on each other.

He is a reliable and cute person who has supported me for a long time, always told me I’m amazing, and sent me sincere encouragement.

We first met when I was around my mid-20s, and it was big puppy love, but I had regrets as it couldn’t be achieved. We were friends for a long time, and now it turned out like this.

Even when I was working hard living my own way, she was a strange existence who always took up a corner of my heart. I think my fans will understand if I say that she was like Kang Dani (A character in the K-drama Jong Suk starred in) to me.

She is an amazing person who helps me with my path and concerns of life as a friend, is someone I can rely on, is younger but sometimes feels older, and is like a grown adult but also someone I want to protect. Now she makes me want to be a better person.

Friends to Lovers in Real Life

Lee Jong Suk and IU’s relationship goes way back because did you know that they became the MCs of the K-pop music program “SBS Inkigayo” together last 2012? Lee Jong Suk once talked about how he was annoyed at IU because she kept on pitching ideas about what cute costumes they should wear at the music program (since it’s targeted at young people) but they eventually became good friends and are now in a serious relationship years after. It’s really like a scene straight out of a K-drama.

THE 2023 Power Couple

While most dating news in Korea tends to leave a negative impression, theirs has been met with nothing but joy. Lee Jong Suk has been in the industry for a long time already and is known as a fantastic actor who’s been in different dramas like “While You Were Sleeping,” and “Pinocchio” and he has a stellar reputation as an actor with a great personality.

IU is considered the Nation’s little sister so everyone in South Korea really adores her. IU is a great singer and all her releases always go to number 1 on every music chart. She’s also an amazing actress who starred in different dramas like “Dream High,” “THE Producers” and recently made her big screen debut in Hirokazu Koreeda’s film “Broker.”

As a huge fan of these two, I am so happy to know they are happily dating. I wish them all happiness and if you’re missing them, let’s watch their shows on KOCOWA!
