가수 아이유와 배우 이현우가 최근 불거진 열애설에 대해 “친한 친구 사이일 뿐”이라고 해명했다.
9일 아침, 온라인 커뮤니티와 SNS 등에는 ‘아이유가 이현우와 심야영화를 보러왔다’는 글과 함께 모자를 둘러쓴 두 사람의 사진이 게시되었다.
이에 이현우 소속사 측의 관계자는 두 사람이 영화를 본 것은 맞지만 친한 친구 사이일 뿐이라고 해명했다. 이어 두 사람이 종종 만나서 식사나 영화관람을 함께 한다면서 “지난 8일도 평소처럼 만난 것일 뿐”이라고 말했다.
또한 아이유 소속사 측의 관계자 역시 영화관람을 인정하면서도 당시 회사 관계자들이 함께 있었다고 주장하면서 열애설을 일축했다.
한편 온라인 연예전문 매체 디스패치 측은 직접 촬영한 사진과 기사를 배포하면서 소속사측의 해명과 달리 관계자들은 눈에 띄지 않았고 단 둘이서만 영화를 봤다고 보도했다.
아이유는 현재 방송중인 '최고다 이순신'에서 주인공 이순신 역을 맡아 열연 중에 있다. 이현우는 영화 ‘은밀하게 위대하게’에 출연했으며, 현재 ‘인기가요’ MC를 맡고 있다. (코리아헤럴드)

IU, Lee Hyun-woo deny dating
The respective agencies of South Korean singer IU and actor Lee Hyun-woo denied on Friday rumors that the two 21-year-old stars are an item.
Earlier in the day, photos of IU and Lee entering a movie theater at midnight circulated on the Internet, sparking speculation that the two are in a romantic relationship.
Lee’s agency Keyeast admitted that the two had watched a movie together but said they were “just close friends.” Loen Entertainment, IU’s management company, said agencies’ other staffers were with the two stars, without elaborating on who they were.
Last year, Lee appeared on an SBS talk show and said he was first introduced to IU, whose real name is Lee Ji-eun, by Park Ji-yeon of T-ara. The two met later in 2011, when Lee made an appearance in IU’s music video, “You and I.”
IU made her debut in 2008 with single “Lost Child,” and rose to stardom after releasing her first studio album “Growing Up” in 2009. She has also established a career in acting, taking several supporting roles in TV dramas before snatching her first leading role in “You’re the Best, Lee Soon-shin” in 2013.
Lee made a successful transaction from a child actor to an adult performer. He built his career in television series such as “The Return of Iljimae” and “Queen Seondeok,” and is particularly noted for his appearance in 2013 movie “Secretly, Greatly.”
