IU and Lee Jong-suk Deny Breakup Rumors Amid BTS V Dinner Speculation



Singer IU and actor Lee Jong-seok rejected rumors of a breakup that even BTS V was summoned.

IU and Lee Jong-seok's confidants said on the 21st that `The two of them are still meeting well" he said.

On the 15th, a photo of IU eating with V at a restaurant run by Chef Ahn Sung-jae was circulated in the online community. Some netizens expressed doubts that IU met V on her birthday, not her boyfriend Lee Jong-seok. In addition, on the day of her birthday, IU's SNS posted showed acquaintances such as Kang Han-na and Lee Joo-young, but Lee Jong-seok was not found, raising rumors of a breakup.




However, this meeting was a social gathering of the officials of 'Love Wins All' announced by IU last year. V also attended the meal with IU in the music video. In fact, V enjoyed eating naturally without covering his face with a mask or hat. In other words, the meeting between the two was not a secret event.

IU and Lee began an open relationship in December 2022. Lee Jong-seok showed his affection for IU at the year-end ceremony, and announced that they were in a confident relationship. However, as it is a relationship between top stars who do not reveal their personal lives, it has also followed unnecessary noise.

Last year, the first break-up was raised, but it was revealed that Lee Jong-seok watched IU's performance with his best friend Shin Jae-ha. In February, a second break-up was reported, mainly in the Chinese community, saying IU was wearing a ring on her index finger. In this regard, IU said in a Netflix interview that `I was completely fooled' "(Lee Jong-seok) is very busy. I'd like to say that the only thing I know is official knowledge (Park Bo-gum)," he replied.
