Popular South Korean celebrity couple, IU and Lee Jong-suk, recently offered fans a glimpse into their differing yet somehow complementary lifestyles.
IU’s Relaxing Retreat
On July 31st, IU shared a series of photos on her social media with the caption “Day off.” The images depicted the singer-actress enjoying a bouquet of flowers, balloons, and some downtime on a bed. Her seemingly effortless balance of work and leisure caught the attention of many, including fellow celebrity Kang Hanna who commented, “You seem to have had a great time eating, resting, and playing hard.”
Lee Jong-suk’s Active Lifestyle
In contrast to IU’s laid-back day, Lee Jong-suk took to his social media to share a story of himself energetically running along the Han River. His bright smile as he faced the camera showcased his evident enjoyment of exercise. Even on his days off, the actor’s dedication to self-care and his well-maintained physique were apparent.
IU and Lee Jong-suk publicly confirmed their relationship at the end of 2022, with Lee Jong-suk expressing his gratitude to IU during his acceptance speech for the Grand Prize at the 2022 MBC Drama Awards.
The couple officially announced their romance at the end of 2022, revealing that they had “developed romantic feelings from being close colleagues and are now in a serious relationship.” IU further elaborated on her feelings in a heartfelt post on her official fan cafe on January 1st, expressing her love for Lee Jong-suk.
Describing him as “a long-time colleague who has been a source of support and encouragement, always telling me I’m doing great,” IU praised Lee Jong-suk as a “reliable and cute person.” She concluded by promising fans, “Since everyone knows now, I’ll try to date quietly and beautifully without worrying our fans.”
