Shaman's video predicting IU and Lee Jong-suk breakup goes viral

As singer and actress IU and actor Lee Jong-suk officially confirmed their breakup after four years of dating, a YouTube video by a shaman who predicted their split months ago is seeing an explosive surge of interest online. Following the breakup announcement, the video has become a focal point of attention, with views rapidly increasing as netizens leave so-called "pilgrimage" comments.

IU and Lee, who were considered one of the industry's most prominent long-term couples, officially confirmed their split through their respective agencies on the 10th. Both sides concluded their public romance, stating, "After long conversations, they have decided to remain good colleagues and support each other.'

As the news broke, netizens' attention naturally turned to a shaman's fortune-telling video released last April.

At the time, the shaman Cheonsang Seonnyeo posted a video on her YouTube channel titled 'IU and Lee Jong-suk Breakup? Shocking Divine Message from a Shaman Saying Their 4-Year Romance is Over (Feeling a Pilgrimage Coming).' While the video did not receive much attention initially, it is resurfacing following the news of the breakup, with viewers claiming, "The prophecy came true.'

The shaman explained in the video that she conducted a so-called 'blind' reading, meaning she received no information regarding their occupations or names, only their dates of birth.

She claimed, "From the moment I wrote down their Saju (four pillars of destiny), I could already see the energy that their connection had been severed. Is it a couple that has dated for about 4 years? It appears they have already been broken up for about 2 to 2.5 years.'

She further offered her interpretation regarding the personalities of the two.

The shaman stated, "The woman is a person of strong loyalty and great responsibility. She has a refreshing personality and a style of getting along well with those around her. Having grown up in a difficult environment, she has a tough side and possesses strong energy like a head of a household who bears the weight of life alone.'

On the other hand, regarding the man, she claimed, "He originally has a bright personality, but as he gets older, he becomes more sensitive and calm. In the early stages of the relationship, he liked the woman very much and made efforts to maintain the relationship, but in the end, it seems they could not overcome fundamental personality differences.'

She added, "The two maintained a good relationship for the first 1 to 2 years, but as time passed, their personality differences became significant, and the thread of fate that would lead them to be lovers was not long. It is read that the relationship was maintained for over 2 years because of the woman's loyalty.'

The shaman continued with even more specific interpretations.

She explained, "The woman was born with a lonely fate and has weak support from her parents. It is a destiny where she always bears all burdens alone. Conversely, the man has a strong tendency to rely on his partner emotionally and shows signs of feeling inferiority or jealousy unconsciously. Their compatibility is better suited for being friends rather than lovers.'

In particular, her mention of IU's future connections is garnering even greater interest following the breakup news.

The shaman said, "A new connection is already visible beside the woman. Around the age of 37, a strong marriage luck comes in. There is a high possibility that the person who appears like a benefactor when her body and mind are most exhausted will become her lifelong spouse.'

She further claimed, "It appears the relationship will lead to marriage with the person she is currently connected with, and this partner is someone who fills the woman's deficiencies and is a very good match personality-wise.'

However, these claims are based solely on the shaman's personal fortune-telling and interpretation and have not been confirmed as objective facts. In particular, the claim that IU is currently seeing someone new has not been officially confirmed.

Nevertheless, following the breakup announcement, comments such as "This is truly goosebump-inducing," "It turned out to be right in the end," "I came for a pilgrimage," and "I didn't know a video from a few months ago would become a hot topic again" have flooded the video, causing it to spread rapidly across online communities and social media (SNS).

Since officially admitting their relationship at the end of 2022, IU and Lee have been beloved as a representative public couple in the entertainment industry. The two consistently showed their affection for each other at various official venues and interviews, receiving steady support, but after approximately four years of public dating, they have decided to go their separate ways.

Both agencies declined to provide specific details regarding the reason for the split, stating only that they would "remain good colleagues and support each other's future." While various speculations regarding the breakup are circulating online, the official statements from both sides remain the only confirmed facts, and experts note that the shaman's predictions are personal interpretations that cannot be verified as fact.
