Three years after their relationship first made headlines, Lee Jong Suk and IU continue to spark curiosity with every subtle online interaction. Since being revealed as Dispatch’s 2023 New Year 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 have always found ways to connect the dots. Over the past year, rumors of a breakup circulated, only to be shut down by small but telling gestures from both stars.
Most recently, on January 16 (KST), Lee Jong Suk shared a casual Instagram carousel featuring photos and videos of himself. While the post may have seemed routine, fans and media outlets alike zeroed in on one detail — a bright yellow bird griptok attached to the back of his phone. The character? Tweety Bird.
This stood out because IU’s current Instagram profile picture is of Tweety — a character prominently featured in the concept of her album The Winning. While neither star mentioned the other in the post, the matching motif quickly became the talk of fan forums and media headlines, widely interpreted as a subtle show of connection.
In a world where celebrity couples often go public with grand gestures, Lee Jong Suk and IU’s quiet, coordinated symbolism continues to capture hearts. Whether this Tweety griptok was intentional or coincidental, it’s clear their bond remains a topic of intrigue — and possibly, admiration — for many.
