The IU Lee Jong-suk breakup was officially confirmed on July 10, and now a video from April is going viral. Both EDAM Entertainment and ACE FACTORY confirmed the split, saying IU and Lee Jong-suk “have decided to stay colleagues and continue to support each other after having a long discussion. That statement confirmed the end of their four-year relationship. They had been dating publicly since 2022.

The viral shaman video is what has everyone talking
Once the news came out, attention shifted to a fortune-telling video posted back in April. Back in April, a shaman named Cheonsang Seonnyeo posted a YouTube video about IU and Lee Jong-suk‘s breakup. It didn’t get much attention at the time, but now that they have split, people are saying her prediction was spot on. The shaman explained that her reading was ‘blind,’ meaning she had no idea who they were or what they did for a living; she only knew their birthdays.
She claimed that the moment I wrote down their Saju, I could tell their relationship had ended. They may have been together for 4 years, but it looks like they actually broke up 2 or 2.5 years ago.
What She Said About Their Personalities
She also shared her thoughts on their personalities. She described the woman as loyal, responsible, and easygoing with others. Shaman also added that because she grew up in a difficult environment, she has a tough, independent side, like a family provider who carries the weight of life alone.
She described the man as naturally cheerful, but he has become more sensitive and calm with age. He really liked her at first and tried hard to make the relationship work, but in the end, their personality differences were just too big to overcome. She added, ‘They had a good first year or two, but as time went on, their personality differences became too much. Their fate as a couple wasn’t meant to last long. It seems they only stayed together past those two years because of the woman’s loyalty.
The shaman then shared more specific details. She explained, “The woman is destined to be independent and doesn’t have much family support, so she carries every burden on her own. The man, on the other hand, relies heavily on his partner emotionally and can sometimes feel jealous or insecure without realizing it. They work much better as friends than as a couple.
People are especially interested in what the shaman said about IU’s future. The shaman said, ‘I can already see a new person. Around age 37, she has strong luck of marriage. The person who appears to support her when she is most exhausted will likely become her lifelong partner.’ She added, ‘It looks like she will marry this person, as they are a great personality match who complements her perfectly. These claims are based on the shaman’s personal predictions and not proven facts. Specifically, there is no official confirmation that IU is currently dating anyone new.
When They First Met and Built Their Friendship
They did not first meet on a drama set but rather as co-hosts. They first met in August 2012 while co-hosting the SBS weekly music show Inkigayo. Both hosted the show together for about six months until December 2012. Lee Jong Suk shared on a 2013 show called Hwasin that they used to argue about their costumes on set. However, they later resolved their issues and stayed close friends for almost a decade before eventually becoming a couple.
Their relationship became public on December 31, 2022. The Korean media outlet Dispatch revealed them as the “2023 New Year’s Couple,” reporting that they had been dating for about four months and had spent a quiet Christmas holiday together in Nagoya, Japan. Just one day earlier, on December 30, 2022, Lee Jong Suk won the Grand Prize at the MBC Drama Awards for his role in Big Mouth. During his acceptance speech, he thanked a mystery person, saying, “Thank you for always being so wonderful. I want you to know that I’ve liked you for a very long time.
They kept their relationship very private and rarely appeared together in public, but they still supported each other behind the scenes. Lee Jong Suk cheered at IU’s concert, and IU attended and performed at his sister’s wedding in October 2022
