However, it turned out to be all a misunderstanding. In fact, the dating scene between Lee Jong Suk and Mina Sue Choi that appeared in a recent article was actually just a scene from a drama and did not happen in real life. Specifically, in episode 1 of the drama Law and the City (2025), the male lead, played by Lee Jong Suk, enjoyed a date with the supporting female character (played by Mina Sue Choi). However, the date ended unhappily when the male lead immediately and rudely deleted her phone number.

In short, there was no real-life date between Lee Jong Suk and Miss Earth Mina Sue Choi. And of course, fans can rest assured that the actor Lee has not broken up with “the nation’s little sister,” IU.

Reportedly, the clip of Lee Jong Suk and Miss Earth Mina Sue Choi suddenly resurfaced and went viral again because the actress is currently the center of controversy in the dating show “Hell Single” Season 5.
