Three years after their relationship first made headlines, Lee Jong Suk and IU continue to spark curiosity with every subtle interaction online. Since being revealed as Dispatch’s New Year’s Eve 2023 couple, the beloved actor and singer have maintained a low-key but closely watched romance, prompting fans to scour their social media for hidden signs of affection.
Whether it was IU singing at Lee Jong Suk’s brother’s wedding or the two wearing matching accessories, eagle-eyed fans always found a way to connect the dots. Rumors of a breakup have been circulating for the past year, only to be denied by small but significant gestures from both stars.
Most recently, on January 16 (KST), Lee Jong Suk shared a casual carousel on Instagram featuring photos and videos of himself. While the post may have seemed routine, fans and media alike focused on one detail: a bright yellow bird-shaped griptok taped to the back of his phone. The character? Tweety.
This stood out because IU’s current Instagram profile picture is of Tweety, a character prominent in her album concept The winner. Although neither star mentioned the other in the post, the matching motif quickly became the subject of discussion in fan forums and media headlines, widely interpreted as a subtle display of connection.
In a world where celebrity couples often make grand gestures public, Lee Jong Suk and IU’s quiet and coordinated symbolism continues to capture hearts. Whether this Tweety Griptok was intentional or accidental, it’s clear that their bond remains a topic of intrigue — and perhaps admiration — for many.
