Every New Year's, Dispatch has a tradition of revealing a famous couple who have been dating in secret. And this year, IU and Lee Jong Suk were chosen as Dispatch's New Year's Couple for 2023.

Dispatch says that the two have been together for about four months.

Dispatch was able to find the two of them in Japan together. They spent three days and two nights in Nagoya, Japan, during the winter break.

Before their trip to Japan, the two were careful about how they were together. On December 20, Lee Jong Suk left for Osaka, Japan, and on December 24, IU went to Nagoya.

Amannemu, a high-end resort in Nagoya, Japan, was their final destination. After his fan meeting, Lee Jong Suk went to Nagoya. IU and her younger brother also went to Nagoya.

Lee Jong Suk went to Japan without telling his manager or anyone else. He booked the hotel himself and asked for a pick-up service.

Dispatch was able to see Lee Jong Suk's travels, which showed that he was going from one city to another.

During his tour of fan meetings, he made sure to take care of IU's younger brother. The families on both sides have already gotten to know each other.

IU sang a congratulations song at Lee Jong Suk's younger brother's wedding, and Lee Jong Suk invited IU's younger brother on the trip to Nagoya.

After their trip, Lee Jong Suk and IU took separate flights out of Japan. Lee Jong Suk left from Tokyo, while IU left from Nagoya.

Even so, they still shared some things, like their glasses and bag. The agency for Lee Jong Suk has said that they are looking into the report right now.

A friend of IU's told Dispatch that the two of them have been dating for four months and that they are good for each other.

The energetic and fun-loving special unit of SEVENTEEN, BSS (Seungkwan, DK, and Hoshi), is ready to return with a bang! Their second single album, "TELEPARTY," will drop on January 8, and fans can’t wait.

At midnight KST on December 27, Pledis Entertainment shared the exciting teaser for BSS’s comeback through HYBE Labels' YouTube channel and SEVENTEEN’s social media. The trailer, titled "How is your youth?", instantly grabbed attention with its touching and inspiring vibe.

The trailer dives deep into the meaning of youth, opening with the question: "What is youth? Is it simply about being young?" It shows everyday moments from people of all ages and ends with the uplifting answer: "Youth is about enjoying the life you’re living at this very moment."

BSS takes on the role of "Youth Protectors," spreading joy and positivity across generations. In the teaser, they give tired students a break, take on extra work for stressed office workers, and even add some romance for two elderly individuals stuck in routine. Their efforts bring smiles, laughter, and a reminder to embrace life’s little moments.

Fans were also thrilled to see a familiar face in the trailer—actor Moon Sang Hoon, famous for his "Moon Saem" character from the YouTube channel Bba-Doners. His comedic interactions with BSS added even more charm and excitement.

The title of the album, "TELEPARTY," combines "Telepathy" and "Party," representing a celebration that connects everyone in the world. Through this concept, BSS sends the heartwarming message: "If you’re happy in this moment, you are living your youth."

Pledis Entertainment revealed that this album has been in the works since early this year and promises top-quality music. Fans can expect not just great songs but also a lot of energy and joy from this special unit.
