IU and Lee Jong-Suk are amongst probably the most beautiful and loved couples within the South Korean entertainment industry. They’ve been dating for over three years, and recently, on February 20, 2025, QQ reported that the Chinese social media platform Weibo has been buzzing about their break-up speculations. All of it began when Chinese netizens discovered that IU was wearing a hoop on her index finger as a substitute of her ring finger.
In South Korea, if a lady wears a hoop on her index finger, it hints at her singlehood. In Korean dramas, we regularly see women in relationships wearing couple rings with their partners. The Love Wins singer’s recent fashion gesture has fueled speculations about her break-up reports. Read ahead to learn more about what happened.
After the reports stating IU wearing her ring on her index finger surfaced all around the web, it attracted enormous attention from the netizens. The speculations about her separation from Lee Jong-Suk reached Weibo’s Top 7 hot search rating. While many fans have stated their disappointment and heartbreak over the rumored reports, others refuted saying these are baseless and arguing that the location of a hoop doesn’t define being in a relationship.
Nonetheless, this shouldn’t be the primary time IU and Lee Jong-Suk’s relationship has faced break-up rumors. Last 12 months in August, a report titled “I Think Lee Jong Suk and IU Have Broken Up” went viral on the Korean online forum Pann Nate. This speculation circulated in every single place after the duo spent their holidays individually. It led people to consider they’d parted ways, and even a Pann user wrote, “The journalist not directly implied that they’ve broken up.”
After that, IU and Lee Jong-Suk’s fans provided plenty of evidence and linked it to prove that they were still going quite strong and that the rumors were unfaithful. Though the couple has never been seen in public, they’ve often talked about one another in interviews and expressed affection and respect for each other.

In February 2024, when the singer-cum-actress kicked off her ‘H.E.R’ tour, he was there.
Later, amid all of the break-up rumors, Lee Jong-Suk was seen silently having fun with IU’s concert in November 2024, proving them mistaken. For individuals who don’t know, the couple confirmed their relationship in December 2022, after Dispatch revealed a couple of photos of them having fun with their vacation during Christmas. Before moving into a romantic bond, the duo maintained a powerful friendship of over 10 years.
