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.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
