Lee Jong-suk shows sharper jawline at MIDO launch event

Actor Lee Jong-suk drew renewed interest online on the 23rd after a video released by eyesmag showed him with a sharper jawline at the MIDO 'Multifort TV Big Date Chronometer' launch event. His appearance appeared different from beach photos released last month that had prompted him to close his social media comment section.

Actor Lee Jong-suk has captured attention with a recent appearance that looks quite different from a month ago. After he shared photos taken at a beach last month, which drew reactions that he had gained weight in his face, he closed the comment section on his social media. Now, he has revealed a much sharper jawline at an official event, with a short video capturing his changed atmosphere and drawing renewed interest online.

On the 23rd, a video of Lee Jong-suk attending an event for the watch brand MIDO was released on the official eyesmag social media account. The post included the description, "Lee Jong-suk, who finds the event name a bit difficult, is cute," along with the phrase, "Smiling like that is a foul." Lee Jong-suk's natural expressions and smiles captured at the launch event for MIDO's 'Multifort TV Big Date Chronometer' caught the eyes of fans.

In the video, Lee Jong-suk greeted viewers, saying, "This is actor Lee Jong-suk. I am here at the MIDO 'Multifort TV Big Date Chronometer launch event.' Let's meet again next time." After clearly introducing the somewhat long event name, he showed his signature soft smile, making an impression through the short interview. However, the focus of fan interest was more on his facial line, which appeared different from before, rather than the event introduction itself.

Last month, Lee Jong-suk released several photos taken at a beach on his social media. While he is well-known for his typically sharp jawline and slender face, his facial line appeared somewhat rounder in those photos. Some netizens reacted that he seemed to have gained weight, and interest surged as evaluations of his physical change continued. Following this, Lee Jong-suk closed his comment section, leading to various reactions online regarding the background of his decision.

In the official event video released about a month later, a much more distinct jawline was captured. As his facial contour appeared sharper compared to the previous photos, interest in his physical change grew again. However, since impressions in photos and videos can vary depending on camera angles, lighting, and facial expressions, it is difficult to conclude whether there was an actual change in weight or management. Nevertheless, his changed atmosphere over the short period caught the eyes of fans.

Born in 1989, Lee Jong-suk debuted as an actor through the SBS drama 'Prosecutor Princess' in 2010. He later made a name for himself through dramas such as 'High Kick: Revenge of the Short Legged', 'School 2013', and 'I Hear Your Voice', and also appeared in movies including 'The Face Reader', 'Hot Young Bloods', and 'V.I.P.'. Having established his position as an actor by portraying different characters in each work, he continues to be loved for his delicate acting and unique atmosphere.

His personal news has also drawn public attention. Last July, Lee Jong-suk announced his breakup with singer and actress IU, with whom he had been in a public relationship for approximately four years. As the two had maintained a public romance for a long time, the news of their breakup also became a hot topic. Since then, Lee Jong-suk has been sharing updates through his works and official events.

The intense interest even in a change in appearance demonstrates that Lee Jong-suk is a star who has been in the public eye for a long time. However, speculating on the reasons for weight changes or evaluating appearance based on a single photo or short video can be a burden to the individual. Following the renewed interest sparked by his appearance, which looks different from a month ago, attention continues to grow regarding what works and activities Lee Jong-suk will present to the public in the future.
