They have been dating for over three years, and recently, on February 20, 2025, QQ reported that the Chinese social media platform Weibo has been buzzing about their break-up speculations. It all began when Chinese netizens discovered that IU was wearing a ring on her index finger instead of her ring finger.

However, this is not the first time IU and Lee Jong-Suk’s relationship has faced break-up rumors. Last year in August, a report titled “I Think Lee Jong Suk and IU Have Broken Up” went viral on the Korean online forum Pann Nate. This speculation circulated everywhere after the duo spent their holidays separately. It led people to believe they had parted ways, and even a Pann user wrote, “The journalist indirectly implied that they have broken up.”
After that, IU and Lee Jong-Suk’s fans provided a lot of evidence and linked it to prove that they were still going quite strong and that the rumors were untrue. Though the couple has never been seen in public, they have often talked about each other in interviews and expressed affection and respect for one another. Despite his busy schedule, he has frequently been spotted at IU’s concerts, sitting in the audience, enjoying her performance like her true fan. In February 2024, when the singer-cum-actress kicked off her ‘H.E.R’ tour, he was there.
Later, amid all the break-up rumors, Lee Jong-Suk was seen silently enjoying IU’s concert in November 2024, proving them wrong. For those who don’t know, the couple confirmed their relationship in December 2022, after Dispatch revealed a few photos of them enjoying their vacation during Christmas. Before getting into a romantic bond, the duo maintained a strong friendship of over 10 years.
