OMG it’s been years since Dispatch has dropped a New Year’s couple dating reveal as BIG as this one. The tabloid dropped an early present for gossip eager fans today on the 31st with news that Lee Jong Seok and IU are dating. They were spotted spending Christmas last week together in Japan, at the uber exclusive Aman resort near Nagoya. Apparently Lee Jong Seok booked the hotel and arranged for IU and her little brother to stay there and he joined them in between his own fan meeting in Japan. The two have reportedly been dating for months and also have met each side’s families. Lee Jong Seok actually sparked dating rumors from his MBC Daesang speech the night before thanking a special someone for encouraging him and telling her he likes her very much. That special someone turned out to be IU and sorry I’m still digesting this seemingly out of nowhere real life coupling. I love them both so much and am so happy, hopefully it goes the distance or if not an amicable breakup.

The Dispatch NY gift has arrive early! Congrats LJS and IU. I never expected this pairing. The quiet ones do normally spring the biggest shock. I like this pair, they both seem like low-key and humble people. Their 10 year friendship has turned into romance. Looking forward to more dating news. I'm getting my eyes glued towards KBS Drama Awards acceptance speeches tonite after LJS's one at MBC Awards thanking IU without mentioning her name and SJK's acceptance speech at Apan Awards.
WOAHHHHHH what an interesting couple. Idk how I feel but I hope they are both happy.
Did not see this coming! That's cool.
Celebs dating is never easy. Too many people on the outside looking in. Good luck guys!
Need time to digest this news!!!!!!! So unexpected. But am very happy for them. Both are very private people, so I bet they have really thought this seriously before this confirmation.
Rooting for them to go all the way, like Rain/KTH and HB/SYJ.
What a power couple. And I love their story too. A decade+ of being colleagues to friends to in a relationship.. a slow-burn friends to lovers romance trope in real life. So happy for them and wish them the best!
Yep, also the dream of every girl who has a crush on an oppa!
Except it seems to be the other way around and LJS is the one who was crushing on IU all these years.
Wow, congrats! For a long time, I read rumors that he was dating Kwon Nara but it's IU instead? 🙀 Anyway, a big congratulations to them!
Rumors say they did in the past, but rumors also said they broke up before he enlisted.
Didn't see it coming . It's really big and wonderful news . Wish them really the best . I'm fond of them as i saw the start of their carreer and now both are shining in their field . Gongrats and hope that the ones who are waiting for their other half will find love too .
Didn't see it coming either but it's not totally out of nowhere, they've been friends for ten years now! Obviously they know each other very well, I wish them happiness.
OMO! I love them both sooooo much! I hope they do a drama together!
