Actor Lee Jong Suk explained the rumors that claimed that he was on bad terms with IU.
On the June 4 episode of SBS’ ‘Incarnation’, Lee Jong Suk was directly asked about rumors of him and IU being on bad terms and didn't get along in the waiting room when they were MCs for ‘Inkigayo’ together.
Lee Jong Suk admitted that they never talked about anything personal to each other outside of the job. He explained, “Since ‘Inkigayo’ is mainly for young viewers, the expressions and costumes had to be one-dimensional but I hated it.”
He added, “IU kept pitching ideas for the MCs to wear costumes to be different from other music programs. We dressed up as Peter Pan, Leon and Mathilda and all sorts of different costumes. So I was a little bit annoyed.”
Lee Jong Suk finally admitted, “By the time I was to leave the show, I became sad maybe because we grew fondness for each other. we contacted each other and talked out all of our complaints about each other and that’s how we became close. Now, she’s one of my few close friends.”
