IU and Lee Jong-suk, now in their third year of dating, each showcased heartwarming professional moments with Cha Eun-woo and Moon Ga-young on the same day
On the morning of February 27th, Lee Jong-suk was spotted walking side by side with Moon Ga-young in Hong Kong. Local fans captured the two filming the tvN’s new drama “Seochodong”.
“Seochodong” is a legal office drama set in Seochodong, where multiple law firms coexist. It follows associate lawyers working in different firms within the same building as they search for their personal and professional aspirations. Lee Jong-suk plays Ahn Joo-hyung, a 9-year associate lawyer, while Moon Ga-young takes on the role of Kang Hee-ji, a first-year associate. Their chemistry is already gaining attention. The drama is set to air in the first half of 2025.
Lee Jong-suk, Moon Ga-young, Kang Yoo-seok, Ryu Hye-young and Im Seong-jae form the “Associate Lawyers Avengers”, a group of five who share their golden lunch breaks together. The series will depict their warm yet turbulent lives as associate lawyers navigating the cold legal battles of Seochodong.
Later that afternoon, IU and Cha Eun-woo’s couple pictorial was released. Luxury brand Chaumet shared images of the two in matching denim looks. Despite IU being 31 and Cha Eun-woo 27, they exuded a refreshing youth melodrama atmosphere.
Netizens reacted with comments like, “This morning, we told IU to close her eyes, but now in the afternoon, Lee Jong-suk needs to close his eyes”, “Both have insane visual chemistry with different actors” and “Dating and work are separate—this is professionalism.”
Meanwhile, Lee Jong-suk and IU have been publicly dating since December 2022. During the “2022 MBC Drama Awards”, where Lee Jong-suk won Grand Prize for “Big Mouth”, he expressed his gratitude, “After my military discharge, I had many worries and fears, but there was someone who helped me think positively and in a good direction. I want to take this moment to say thank you. You’re always so cool, and I want you to know I’ve liked you for a very long time and deeply respect you.” Shortly after, the two confirmed their relationship.
Despite occasional breakup rumors, Lee Jong-suk was spotted accompanying IU on her world tour last year, proving their relationship remains strong. The couple is also known for their charitable donations, further solidifying their image as a couple spreading positive influence.
