Singer and actress IU (Lee Ji-eun) spoke directly about allegations that she and her partner Lee Jong-suk were wearing matching couple outfits.
Recently, images circulated on online communities showing IU and Lee Jong-suk wearing similarly designed outfits, drawing attention because the two appeared to be wearing a zip-up hoodie from luxury brand Balenciaga priced around 3 million won.
The fashion was captured for IU on the 5th in an SNS photo posted by actress Lee Yeon, and for Lee Jong-suk on the 8th in a video on actress Ryu Hyeyoung's YouTube channel. As the two, who are in an open relationship, displayed styles that were "similar but different," speculation about couple outfits naturally followed.
When a fan shared the related photos on a communication app with IU and expressed disappointment, IU dismissed the allegation with a short comment, "It's different clothes..?" Fans reacted to IU's direct clarification with comments such as "so IU."
Meanwhile, IU will meet viewers in the MBC drama Perfect Crown, scheduled to air in April. Lee Jong-suk is preparing to return with the Disney+ original series The Remarried Empress.
