IU, Lee Jong Suk confirm breakup after 4 years of dating
MANILA, Philippines — South Korean stars IU and Lee Jong Suk have confirmed that they have ended their romantic relationship, bringing their four-year romance to a close.
In a report by Soompi, the confirmation came through IU’s agency EDAM Entertainment and Lee Jong Suk’s agency Ace Factory, which said the two have decided to part ways amicably and remain supportive of each other as colleagues.

IU, one of South Korea's most successful solo artists, has also built an acclaimed acting career through projects such as "Hotel Del Luna," "Broker" and "When Life Gives You Tangerines." Lee, meanwhile, is known for his roles in hit dramas including "School 2013," "Pinocchio," "W," "While You Were Sleeping" and "Big Mouth."
Neither IU nor Lee Jong Suk disclosed further details regarding the reason for their breakup, choosing instead to keep the matter private.
