News of breakups among top celebrity couples continues to emerge one after another.

On the 10th, news broke that actor Lee Jong-suk and actress and singer IU had ended their relationship.

On this day, Lee Jong-seok's agency Ace Factory stated, "It is true that Lee Jong-seok has broken up with IU." It further added, "As this concerns the actor's personal life, we apologize for being unable to provide further answers and ask for your understanding." A representative from IU's agency Edam Entertainment also confirmed, "IU has broken up with Lee Jong-seok. The two have decided to remain good colleagues."

Lee Jong-seok and IU first met in 2012 as co-hosts of SBS music program "Inkigayo." Later, after Lee Jong-seok won the Grand Prize at the "2022 MBC Drama Awards" for his role in the drama "Big Mouth," he drew attention with a statement: "There was someone who guided me in a positive direction and helped me think positively when I had many fears and worries after completing my military service. I am grateful to that person."

Shortly after the awards ceremony, it was revealed that the person behind the remarks was IU, and both agencies immediately confirmed the dating relationship.

However, the two were reported to have recently broken up as their meetings decreased due to busy schedules.

The two actors, who have concluded their public relationship, will meet fans through their respective projects. Lee Jong-suk will appear in Disney+'s new series "The Remarried Empress," set to be released in the second half of this year. IU starred in the MBC drama "21st Century Grand Duchess," which concluded last May, and is scheduled to hold a concert at Goyang Stadium's main field in September.

Actor Jung Kyung-ho and actress Sooyoung (Choi Soo-young), a member of the group Girls' Generation, who had been in a long-term relationship for 14 years, also recently ended their romance.

On the 9th of last month, Jung Kyung-ho's side stated, "It is true that we have parted ways with Choi Soo-young. As this concerns private matters, it is difficult to confirm the specific timing. It appears that their busy schedules influenced the decision." On the same day, Choi Soo-young's agency also acknowledged the breakup, stating, "We have decided to remain good colleagues."

Jung Kyung-ho and Choi Soo-young began dating in 2012 and officially acknowledged their relationship in 2014. Over the past 14 years, they have maintained a public romance, establishing themselves as Yeon Ye-gye (CEO)'s long-lasting couple.

In particular, the two did not hide their affection for each other in various interviews and broadcasts, receiving strong support from the public as they continued a natural and healthy relationship.

However, recently, rumors of a breakup between the two have spread online. The suspicion grew further when Jung Kyung-ho and Choi Soo-young unfollowed each other on their respective SNS accounts. Ultimately, both parties acknowledged the end of their relationship, putting a period to their public romance.

Jung Kyung-ho is scheduled to appear in the ENA drama "Hokhaneun Romance" to be broadcast next year. Suhyeong will meet viewers through this year's ENA series "Namnam" and next year's KBS 2TV program "School Has Come."
