A prediction video concerning the relationship between singer IU and actor Lee Jong-suk has become a topic of discussion online, with viewers revisiting it as a 'pilgrimage site.' The video, uploaded in April, speculates on the couple's breakup, drawing attention to a fortune teller's assessment of their future.
