Lee Jong-suk Criticized due to an Action with Bridgerton’s Leading Actor at LOEWE Show?

International netizens suddenly attacked Lee Jong-suk due to one of his interaction with “Bridgerton” star Luke Newton.

On the evening of June 22, fashion brand LOEWE presented its Menswear Spring-Summer 2025 collection during Paris Fashion Week in France. The show featured several famous male celebrities from around the world, including the new Global Ambassador Wang Yibo, Lee Jong-suk, and Luke Newton. 

The visual spectacle would have been peaceful if it weren’t for the commotion following the show involving heartthrob Lee Jong-suk and Bridgerton’s leading actor.

A short 18-second video led to Lee Jong-suk being criticized by international netizens.

Specifically, in the video, Lee Jong-suk and actor Luke Newton are seated in the front row of the show. When photographers requested the two actors to sit closer together for a photo, international netizens left many negative comments about the Korean actor, claiming he was invading Luke’s personal space by continuing to sit very close after the photo was taken.

A moment later, Lee Jong-suk looked around and adjusted his seat to sit farther away from Luke Newton.

In reality, not only at LOEWE but also at other fashion shows, the seating arrangement is usually quite cramped, and guests often have to sit very close to each other in their assigned seats. In other words, whether he wanted to or not, Lee Jong-suk had to follow the organizers’ seating arrangement. In fact, according to another photo, it was revealed that the original seating arrangement already has Lee Jong-suk sitting closely to Luke.

An image of the two actors happily posing together was posted by Lee Jong-suk on his personal Instagram. The nameplate to the left of the actor suggests that someone would be sitting in that position.

Meanwhile, Luke Newton is an actor currently making waves with his leading role in season 3 of the popular Netflix series Bridgerton. Born in 1993, the actor attracts fans with his masculine, classic look, deep eyes, and bearded jawline.
