Following confirmation that IU and Lee Jong Suk have ended their relationship after four years of public dating, an old YouTube video of a Korean shaman claiming to have predicted the breakup has gone viral, with viewers flooding the comments in what is known online as a “pilgrimage” to a seemingly accurate prediction.
In April, shaman Cheonsang Seonnyeo uploaded a video titled: “IU and Lee Jong Suk Break Up? A Shaman’s Shocking Read That Their Four-Year Relationship Is Already Over.” According to the video, the shaman claimed to have conducted a blind fortune-telling using only the birth dates of IU and Lee Jong Suk, without receiving any additional personal information.
During the reading he stated: “Their relationship is already over. That’s what emerges immediately.” She also wondered if they were really still in their fourth year as a couple, adding: “It shows that they actually broke up much earlier, about two or two and a half years ago.”
The shaman went on to describe the woman, believed to be IU, as loyal, strong-willed, sociable and as someone who had overcome a difficult upbringing. She stated that IU stayed in the relationship longer because of her sense of loyalty. As for the man, alleged to be Lee Jong Suk, she described him as sensitive and said he had initially loved the woman deeply and had worked hard on the relationship. However, he claimed that their personalities were incompatible.
She further stated that the man unconsciously felt inferior to the woman and harbored feelings of jealousy, suggesting that the two were ultimately better suited as friends than romantic partners.
The most attention-grabbing statement came when the shaman claimed that IU was already seeing someone else. He said: “There is another man by her side. She has a lucky marriage at the age of 37. When she is physically and emotionally exhausted, someone like a Prince Charming will appear. I believe she will marry the person she sees now because they complement each other’s personalities.”
Since IU and Lee Jong Suk officially confirmed their breakup on July 10, the video has attracted a wave of new comments from viewers returning to praise what they see as an accurate prediction.
Meanwhile, IU and Lee Jong Suk began dating publicly in 2022 before announcing this week that they had decided to end their romantic relationship and remain supportive colleagues.
