On the evening of January 10th, according to Weibo, the public across Asia was shocked by the speculation that IU and Lee Jong Suk had officially parted ways after three years together. The rumors spread rapidly due to a recent controversial action by “the nation’s little sister,” IU.
A 62 million won item revealed the status of IU and Lee Jong Suk’s relationship after rumors of a breakup.
Accordingly, the 1993-born singer recently interacted with and answered questions from fans online. Most notably, a netizen asked about Lee Jong Suk: “Could each of you (IU and Lee Jong Suk) wear separate clothes, use separate phone cases, wear separate beanies, and wear different outfits? Does it really have to be like that? (referring to wearing matching outfits).” This person also posted an image suggesting IU and Lee Jong Suk were wearing identical shirts worth 62 million won recently.
In response to a surprising question from a fan, IU bluntly replied, “But the clothes are different, aren’t they?”. In other words, the “nation’s little sister” ruthlessly denied the rumors that she and Lee Jong Suk were wearing matching outfits. It’s known that the speculation about the two stars wearing matching clothes has been causing a stir on Asian social media for the past few days.
