Lee Jong-seok, IU, "Love Wins" Love Evangelist Couple
In a recently released pictorial, Lee Jong-seok clearly expressed his affection for IU, with whom he is in a public relationship. He said that he receives a lot of comfort from IU, saying, "Many people besides me receive comfort from that friend's music, her lyrics, and sentences that offer comfort. The only difference is that I receive such comfort while talking." He said.
He mentioned his long relationship with IU and said, "More than anything, we've been friends for quite some time, and that friend is the funniest in the world. I really gave a lot of comfort to that person who was my friend during the difficult times I felt as I was entering my 30s, which I mentioned earlier. “I received it,” he expressed his affection.
In addition, he said, “When that friend tells me, ‘You’ve become a lot more mature now,’ I feel like I want to become more of an adult,” and “And I think I want to become a much, much better person than I am now.”
Although not directly, IU indirectly revealed her firm heart and will for her current love. When asked, "Is love still the hope you believe in in this harsh world?" IU said, "It may be embarrassing to say it out loud, but I still believe that love overcomes hate."
He continued, “In the end, love wins. Even when I lose my balance and waver, I repeat, ‘But love will win in the end,’ and I strengthen my logic, strengthen my thinking muscles, and control my mind.” He continued, “The proposition that love wins is my “I have experienced enough through life. I will continue to believe that,” he said.
Although there was no specific mention of Lee Jong-seok, there are many who believe that such a mention of love as she is currently in a public relationship with Lee Jong-seok represents IU's firm and unwavering feelings for Lee Jong-seok.
The fact that the two are dating began with Lee Jong-seok's mention at MBC's 'Acting Awards' on December 31 last year. At the time, Lee Jong-seok said, "After completing my military service, I had a lot of worries, fears, and suffering, but there was someone who gave me good human direction and positive thoughts. Thank you for always being so cool, and that I have liked you a lot for a very long time and respect you so much. “I want to talk,” he said, pouring out his heart.
Lee Jong-seok's 'that person' was IU, and both sides acknowledged the fact that they were in a relationship, making their relationship public.
The two first met while co-hosting SBS' 'Inkigayo' in 2012, and developed a friendship as close friends for a long time before developing into lovers.
