IU Shares Behind-the-Scenes Photos with Byeon Woo-seok from '21st Century Grand Duchess'
Recently, IU posted on her Instagram, "Episode 6 behind-the-scenes. I woke up to find that I was a step behind in sharing these essence photos..." along with several pictures.
In the released photos, IU is seen with Byeon Woo-seok. She stands in front of a traditional Korean house adorned with floral decorations, wearing a light-toned dress with exposed shoulders. The sheer fabric of the dress creates a soft silhouette, while Byeon Woo-seok stands in a black uniform-style outfit with gold embellishments, creating a contrasting yet harmonious atmosphere.
Meanwhile, IU, born in 1993, is currently starring in the new MBC Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Duchess' alongside Byeon Woo-seok, born in 1991, in a romantic storyline. The 6th episode of '21st Century Grand Duchess' achieved a viewership rating of 11.3% in the metropolitan area, 11.2% nationwide, and 5.9% among viewers aged 20-54, ranking first among all Saturday programs in the metropolitan and 20-54 categories. The nationwide and 20-54 ratings set new records, with a scene where Seong Hee-joo (played by IU) tells Lee An-daegun (played by Byeon Woo-seok), "Do whatever you want," peaking at 13.4%. Additionally, IU is publicly dating actor Lee Jong-suk, born in 1989.
