The marriage contract between Seong Hee-joo (played by IU) and Grand Prince Ian (played by Byun Woo-seok) has been leaked in the drama '21st Century Grand Lady'.

In the episode aired on the 2nd, MBC's Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Lady' depicted a crisis as Grand Prince Ian (Byun Woo-seok) and Seong Hee-joo (IU) spent their first night together.

During the wedding, Seong Hee-joo suddenly collapsed and was rushed to the hospital emergency room. Grand Prince Ian stayed by her side, unable to leave as she lay in bed with an oxygen mask.

Later, it was revealed that Seong Hee-joo was suffering from 'digoxin poisoning'. Upon hearing that an overdose could be fatal, Seong Hyun-guk (played by Jo Seung-yeon) slapped Grand Prince Ian in anger.

Regaining consciousness, Seong Hee-joo recalled the wedding incident, mentioning the swapped drinks. Ian speculated, "It seems they were targeting me. If I had drunk it, I might have died," hinting at the direction of the incident.
