A new chapter unfolds in the hearts of IU and Byeon Woo-seok.

In the upcoming episode 5 of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Prince,' airing on the 24th, the romantic tension between Seong Hee-joo (played by IU) and Grand Prince Lee An (played by Byeon Woo-seok) intensifies after surviving a car accident scare. Previously, the royal family officially acknowledged the romance between commoner Seong Hee-joo and Grand Prince Lee An.

In episode 4, Seong Hee-joo went on a drive with young King Lee Yoon (played by Kim Eun-ho) and discovered the brakes were malfunctioning. As the car sped uncontrollably, Grand Prince Lee An appeared and used his own car to stop hers, narrowly avoiding disaster. Seeing Lee An emerge from beyond the halted vehicle, Seong Hee-joo's face was filled with unfamiliar emotions.

The newly released photos show the 'Wanseong' couple, Seong Hee-joo and Lee An, sharing tender moments in the hospital. Seong Hee-joo's expression is filled with concern and guilt as she looks at Lee An, who appears to have injured his shoulder and is wearing a brace.

Lee An, in turn, comforts Seong Hee-joo with reassuring words, displaying the demeanor of a dependable partner. Their warm gazes and gentle touches create a heartwarming scene, heightening anticipation for their deepening romance following the life-threatening accident.

Particularly, Lee An is determined to protect Seong Hee-joo from the world's dangers following the incident. Having lost loved ones in the past, Lee An is especially sensitive about Seong Hee-joo's safety, drawing attention to his protective actions.
