IU and Lee Jong Suk, South Korea's golden couple, are at the centre of a heartbreaking rumour mill. Fans were sent into a tailspin when an online post questioned the status of their relationship. The speculation, allegedly fueled by the couple's decreased public appearances in recent months, has sparked a debate on platforms like Nate Pann. While the post claimed that whispers of their potential breakup had circulated previously, fans remain firm in their belief that the couple is "still going strong."

The Doctor Stranger star and Korean soloist have been publicly dating for nearly a year. Their relationship first came to light in December 2022 when Dispatch revealed the couple had been secretly together for four months. Recently, speculation about their relationship status resurfaced after a netizen on Nate Pann suggested that reporters had hinted at a possible breakup. A post titled "I guess Lee Jong Suk and IU have broken up" is making rounds on social media, with over 160K views.

"The journalist is back-handedly saying they’ve broken up, lol," the author of the post claimed, referencing an article that focuses on "IU and Lee Jong Suk spending their days off separately."

While some fans refuse to believe the speculation, citing the couple's demanding schedules as a possible explanation for their decreased public appearances, others expressed deep concern. Fans were quick to point out how IU's ongoing world tour and Lee Jong Suk's Kdrama commitments might have limited their opportunities to spend time together.

"They have a slow-burn friends-to-lovers relationship. I’m pretty sure they can handle a few days by themselves. This isn’t an attraction-to-love thing like I said they were friends for many years," an X user commented on the rumoured post. "IU is in America right now doing her world tour; of course they will spend their day off separately," another added, dismissing claims of a split. "They're just private and she's been touring; this isn't something to do a post about, lol," one more rallied in support of the couple.

Amid the heartbreak and speculation, many fans voiced their unwavering support for the couple, hoping for their reunion and even hinting at the possibility of marriage in the future.

"They haven’t broken up. They are going to announce their wedding soon," a user commented.

The couple, known for their enchanting love story, has always been a beacon of hope for many. When they confirmed their relationship, the actor’s agency, HighZium Studio, revealed how they vacationed together in Nagoya, Japan and celebrated Christmas, which Jong Suk had planned. The W star was also seen cheering for IU during her world tour concert, H.E.R., on March 2, 2023, and has consistently shown support for his girlfriend by wearing her merchandise. The company has yet to respond to the breakup rumours.
