Hello. This is HighZium Studio.
This is the official statement for an exclusive article about actor Lee Jong Suk.
Actor Lee Jong Suk and IU recently progressed from close acquaintances to a couple and are maintaining a serious relationship.

Afterwards, IU’s agency EDAM Entertainment also commented, “IU and Lee Jong Suk recently went from being close acquaintances to a good relationship. We ask for a warm welcome from the fans.”
On December 31, Dispatch reported that the two stars had been dating for approximately four months. According to Dispatch, the two met on “Inkigayo” 10 years ago, and over time their friendship blossomed into romance.
Dispatch claimed that IU and Lee Jong Suk spent Christmas together in Nagoya, Japan, where they enjoyed a quiet three-day vacation together at a luxury resort. The vacation was said to have been personally planned by Lee Jong Suk, who reportedly first flew IU and her younger brother to Japan and even arranged for them to be picked up at the airport and later joined them.
According to anonymous sources cited in the report, the couple’s family already knows about the relationship. IU famously sang a celebration song at younger brother Lee Jong Suk’s wedding earlier this year, and Lee Jong Suk personally invited IU’s younger brother to their Christmas vacation.
Dispatch also posted photos of IU and Lee Jong Suk at the airport on their way to and from Nagoya.
Last night, Lee Jong Suk was inundated with dating rumors due to his acceptance speech at the 2022 MBC Drama Awards.
