Fans believe that actress-soloist IU exposed actor Jo Jung Suk‘s (also romanized as Choi Jung Suk) secret YouTube account that he uses to post his song covers.
Recently, IU shared some of her fans’ covers of her new songs. One of these was the cover below of “Love wins all.”
Fans noticed it was a YouTube channel with less than 100 subscribers and just three videos. The cover itself only had about 177 views, although it was posted nearly a week ago. They thought it was so wholesome that IU watched even covers from small channels.
IU ig story!
Posted a cover from cgs records.
I checked his yt channel and its a small channel with 3 vids.
She really is watching the covers from all over and whoever 🥺
Thank you for your nice cover 🫶🏻 pic.twitter.com/d31AH2cpRD

Yet, after more fans discovered the channel, they became suspicious that this YouTuber was not a nobody. They believe it’s actor Jo Jung Suk, who IU previously worked with on 2013 K-Drama You Are the Best!
They pointed out that the guitar used in the cover video is a custom guitar gifted to the actor by fans, and he is known to wear the mint hoodie. Besides, Hospital Playlist fans already know he’s musically talented!
So, how they know this person is Jo Jung Suk? It’s because the guitar that this person played is a custom guitar that his overseas fans personally made for him and the design is exactly the same 😂 And if you listen carefully to his voice, it’s Jo Jung Suk’s voice 😂 https://t.co/h42QndNf31

Additionally, he only has a couple of videos posted, one of which claims to be a Jo Jung Suk AI cover of his wife, soloist Gummy‘s song! Knowing IU and she are also friends, fans believe he might have shared his “Love wins all” cover with her, not expecting her to post it publicly.

While the account appeared to be an innocent and casual YouTuber, fans believe that it has to be Jo Jung Suk’s secret account he used when he wanted to post song covers.

Jo Jung Suk’s agency, Jam Entertainment, has even released a statement concerning the actor’s alleged YouTube channel. They can neither confirm nor deny!
This is what Jo Jung Suk’s agency said about his (rumor) youtube channel .. I think IU might accidentally found that youtube channel and share it on her igs 🤣
This is so funny 🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/jnwHDq9d0H
