After months of speculation and fan theories, Korean actor Lee Jong-Suk has finally confirmed what many hoped was true, he’s in a relationship with singer-actress IU. And the way he spoke about her? It’s enough to melt even the iciest hearts.
Their love story didn’t start overnight. It began way back in 2012 when both were hosts on SBS’s music show Inkigayo. Although they didn’t get to interact much back then, their connection slowly developed after the show ended. What started as a quiet friendship eventually blossomed into something deeper over the years.
Fans have long speculated about the nature of their relationship. They noticed sweet little hints, a glance here, a cap there, and Lee Jong-Suk attending IU’s concerts from the audience. For their loyal supporters, these glimpses felt like puzzle pieces waiting to be put together.
In a heartfelt letter, Lee Jong-Suk finally opened up. He shared that he had feelings for IU as far back as his mid-20s. At the time, it felt more like a one-sided admiration. Still, he held onto those feelings quietly as they stayed friends. Now, those feelings have turned into something real. “We’re finally together,” he revealed, after years of keeping their bond private.
IU also released her own letter, confirming their relationship. She described Jong-Suk as someone who’s always been by her side, someone she could lean on. She spoke fondly of how supportive and encouraging he has been, even calling him “reliable and cute.” Her words confirmed what many already felt: that theirs is a relationship rooted in trust and genuine care.
This isn’t the first time Lee Jong-Suk has shared subtle hints about someone special in his life. In a 2023 interview with Esquire magazine, he described a person who brought him strength through tough times, not by name, but the emotion was there. He explained that talking to her helped him get through challenges, and he even called her the funniest person he knows.
Now that their relationship is public, fans have flooded social media with support. It’s refreshing to see a couple in the entertainment industry share something so real and grounded, despite all the pressure that comes with fame. With their history, friendship, and mutual respect, it’s easy to root for them.
Whether you’re a fan of K-dramas, IU’s music, or just love a good love story, this one’s definitely worth following.
