you know what i’m scared of after iu’s breakup is her future relationship. besides lee jong suk she really has questionable taste in men. ljs was a surprise that she dated a handsome talented actor close to her age.

It's the way the IU and Lee Jong Suk breakup swallowed other news like casting and ongoing frames 😭 if PDF Kim So Hyun makes a comeback today we won't notice cause there won't be any attention on it. Can we drop it already. We're tired
