Bae Woo-seok Meets IU's Family in '21st Century Grand Prince' Episode 7

Bae Woo-seok is set to meet the family of his fiancée, IU, in the upcoming episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Prince'.

In the 7th episode, airing on the 1st, Lee An-daegun (played by Bae Woo-seok) visits the home of Seong Hee-joo (played by IU) for his first meeting with her family.

Previously, Seong Hee-joo and Lee An-daegun became an officially recognized couple after a surprise proposal event at Naejinyeon and receiving the king's approval. As preparations for the royal wedding begin, Seong Hee-joo and Lee An-daegun have a meal with Dowager Yoon Yi-rang (played by Gong Seung-yeon) and then meet Seong Hee-joo's family.

In the released photos, Seong Hee-joo and Lee An-daegun are seen visiting the home of Castle Group's Seong Hyun-guk (played by Jo Seung-yeon), with tense expressions that draw attention. While Seong Hee-joo appears stiff and awkward, Lee An-daegun, sitting next to his future father-in-law Seong Hyun-guk, seems slightly nervous but maintains a gentle smile, trying to earn his trust.

However, despite his efforts, Seong Hee-joo, who has had conflicts with her father Seong Hyun-guk, abruptly leaves the table, surprising everyone. Her sudden action freezes the atmosphere, leaving viewers wondering if the meal will end peacefully.

The production team of '21st Century Grand Prince' stated, "As Seong Hee-joo and Lee An-daegun find themselves in a position where they could become adversaries among family, their emotions will deepen as they experience each other's situations firsthand. Watch as Lee An-daegun strives to win over Seong Hyun-guk's heart for Seong Hee-joo, just as she stood up to Yoon Yi-rang for him."

The 7th episode, featuring Bae Woo-seok's efforts to bridge the gap between his fiancée IU and her father Jo Seung-yeon, airs at 9:40 PM.
