IU and Lee Hyori are suspicious of quitting each other, related to a man?

In recent days, Korean social networks have been abuzz with rumors that the close relationship between IU and Lee Hyori is in trouble. Considered a precious pair of sisters of showbiz, all doubts about the rift have made the public can't help but talk.

IU and Lee Hyori have had a close relationship known to the public since 2017, when the "Good Day" singer accepted to participate in her sister's reality show "Hyori's Bed and Breakfast". At that time, IU appeared as a part-time employee in the homestay of Lee Hyori and his wife in Jeju Island. The closeness, friendliness, and heartfelt conversations quickly brought the two together.

Lee Hyori used to not hesitate to give her juniors valuable advice. She once likened IU to "a gift from the gods" and considered the young singer a close sister. On the contrary, IU has also repeatedly expressed her gratitude for being cared for, shared and become a source of motivation in her career and life. The singer said that thanks to Hyori, she learned to be more mature and strong.

That attachment was confirmed when in 2019, Lee Hyori and his wife appeared in IU's concert as guests. The image of them standing on stage together, holding hands and smiling has left a deep impression, making fans believe that this sisterhood will continue to be strong over the years.

However, since that joint appearance, the two no longer seem to have any more public activities together. It was this silence that created an opportunity for discordant rumors to appear.

One of the reasons given by netizens is that the two are no longer following each other on Instagram. This was quickly seen as evidence of a rift in the relationship. However, fans explained that Lee Hyori had deleted the old account and then reopened it, causing the watchlist to change, completely unrelated to romance.

In addition, IU's absence from last year's "Lee Hyori's Red Carpet" program was also scrutinized. Some viewers thought that this was a testament to the separation, while fans affirmed that they could not use the absence of a show to conclude a broken relationship.

In addition, some opinions on the forum said that, right from the time of filming "Hyori's Bed and Breakfast", IU sometimes showed discomfort with her senior's frank and somewhat strict personality. Meanwhile, Hyori is said to be more biased towards guest YoonA (Girls' Generation), making IU sometimes out of place. However, this is just unfounded speculation.

In the face of a wave of doubts, many fans have given evidence to protect the close relationship between the two artists.

Last May, Lee Sang Soon – Lee Hyori's husband accompaniment IU's guitar in the song "Last Scene". This is the detail that is said to be the clearest evidence that the relationship is still good, because if it really breaks down, such an artistic collaboration is unlikely to take place.

Not stopping there, earlier this year, after the movie "When Life Gives You Tangerines" was released, Lee Hyori praised IU in a conversation with veteran actor Kim Hye Ja. This compliment shows that seniors still watch and appreciate the junior's acting career, refuting the rumor of "scratching the face" that is spreading.

In fact, IU is famous as an artist who maintains good relationships with many colleagues in the Korean entertainment industry. She has a close friendship with Yoo In Na, bonding like siblings; close relationship with Jiyeon (T-ara); and long-term colleague love with Kim so Hyun, Lee Jun Ki, Park Bo Gum, G-Dragon...

Each of IU's concerts in Korea is often likened to a "miniature award ceremony" because of the huge number of artists who come to cheer. The last concert in the "HEREH World Tour 2024" tour in September last year brought together about 50 famous stars such as G-Dragon (Big Bang), V and J-Hope (BTS), Chaewon and Sakura (LE SSERAFIM), Doyoung and Johnny (NCT), Kyuhyun (Super Junior), D.O (EXO), Lee Jong Suk... This presence not only shows IU's attraction but also partly reflects the strong bond between her and her colleagues in the entertainment industry.

Stringing together the events, it can be seen that the rumors of a rift between IU and Lee Hyori largely stem from the inference of the online community. Some people even think that the reason IU and Lee Hyori are no longer close is because Lee Hyori is always focused on her family, especially immersed in love with her husband, so she ignores her friendship with IU. But not all of them. The fact that they rarely appear together in the media does not mean that the relationship is broken. In the context that artists often have to balance many personal projects, they are not always able to go hand in hand on every stage.

Lee Hyori stated, "I was born beautiful, so I've never struggled with my looks." Rosé21:39:41 19/03/2022The statement of the sexy queen made many people "admired to obey". Singer Lee Hyori recently appeared on a YouTube live broadcast, hosted by makeup artist Hong Hyun Jung, a longtime friend and acquaintance of hers.
