On the afternoon of the 10th, Ace Factory, IU's agency, stated to StarNews: "It is true that Lee Jong-seok has broken up with IU."
The agency added, "The two have decided to remain good colleagues," and requested understanding, stating, "As this concerns the actor's private life, we find it difficult to provide further answers."
This marks Lee Jong-seok's first separation from IU in nearly four years. The couple had publicly dated since December 31, 2022, but ultimately decided to end their romantic relationship.
