Every year in the hours leading up to January 1, netizens anticipate the annual Dispatch couple reveals. This year, netizens couldn’t hide their excitement when it was announced that K-Pop idol IU and actor Lee Jong Suk had been dating for four months.
In the release, the outlet revealed pictures and information sharing that they had spent Christmas together in Japan and also alleged “couple items.”
Of course, for many, the relationship was like a K-Drama, with the duo starting as co-hosts, even having a small conflict, and then turning into friends before lovers.
In particular, many past interactions between the two have resurfaced after the news. Whether it was showcasing their support for each other, videos referencing each other, and much more, netizens have loved watching their relationship unfold.

In particular, footage from back in October has resurfaced after the announcement, and it all comes from when IU performed at Lee Jong Suk’s brother’s wedding.
Back in October, images were released showing that IU had attended the wedding of Lee Jong Suk’s brother and actually performed a song to congratulate the couple.
IU looked flawless, and it seemed just normal for someone like Lee Jong Suk, with a friend like IU, to invite a top star to perform at his wedding.
After the dating news, everything seemingly changed, and it went from just a friend singing at a wedding to something more.
One clip of the duo that has resurfaced showcases the two stars together. An attendee at the wedding showed a clip of the two together, and IU was seemingly waving bye to her friend.
Of course, now, netizens are seemingly noticing more. While some pointed out that it seemed like IU’s bodyguard noticed the recording and told her, causing the couple to change their attitude, others noticed the warmth in their body language.
After the clips resurfaced, netizens joked that while IU’s interactions with other idols and actors create dating rumors, nobody suspected a thing about Lee Jong Suk. It also made the interactions and videos make more sense.
