The reason fans who watched IU’s “Christmas Vlog” were disappointed, “She was on a date with Lee Jong Suk in Japan”
After IU publicized her romantic relationship with Lee Jong Suk, a long-time fan expressed disappointment in the female singer.
On February 18th, an article titled “IU deceived her fans” was posted on an online community.
Earlier on December 31st, 2022, IU confirmed that she is dating actor Lee Jong Suk.
She posted a letter on her official fancafe on January 1st, saying “He’s the person who has been supporting me for a long time and always tells me, ‘You’re cool’. He’s a reliable and cute person who encourages me sincerely”, showing her affection for Lee Jong Suk.
In the meantime, netizen A, who claimed to have been a fan of IU for a long time, posted, “IU deceived us”.
A said, “Last Christmas, she uploaded a video showing her playing Lego with her brother and pretended that he was alone on that day”.
They continued, “But in fact, she went on a trip to Japan with her boyfriend Lee Jong Suk on Christmas, didn’t she? She pretended to be a lonely singer who doesn’t have a lover in front of fans”, adding “She lied to us”.
In the video, IU showcased herself assembling Lego sets with her younger brother, Lee Jong-hoon. In the video, IU revealed that the reason for filming was that “fans wanted to see a vlog of me being cute and adorable all by myself.”
The filming date of the video that IU released has not been revealed yet. However, from the perspective of fans, there was enough room for misunderstanding. The date the video was uploaded was on Christmas Day, and the title of the video was ‘Christmas vlog.’ In addition, the props that appeared in the video were related to Christmas.
Furthermore, as A claimed, IU actually went on a trip to Nagoya, Japan, with her boyfriend, Lee Jong-suk, during Christmas.
Regarding this, Dispatch reported on December 31 of last year that Lee Jong-suk and IU went on a Christmas date to a luxurious resort in Nagoya, Japan.
After hearing A’s story of being disappointed with IU, netizens’ reactions were divided.
Some netizens expressed their disappointment, saying “It’s quite disappointing. The situation was just asking to be misunderstood,” and “As a fan, I would feel let down.“
On the other hand, some netizens advised not to get too immersed, saying “Celebrities are also human beings. Fans should maintain their own boundaries,” and “These kinds of people turn into malicious fans. If you’re a fan, be happy that IU met a good person.”
