In the new MBC Friday-Saturday drama ’21st Century Crown Princess’, premiering this April, Byun Woo-seok will captivate viewers as Lee An-daegun, a character who possesses nothing but royal status.<\/p>\n

In the drama, Lee An-daegun is the only brother of the former king, living in concealment as a secondary prince, meant to remain unseen and unheard within the royal family.

After the unexpected rise to the throne of his young nephew following his father and brother’s deaths, Lee An-daegun effectively leads the royal family as regent. However, opposition to Lee An-daegun grows stronger.<\/p>\n

Amidst this, billionaire Seong Hee-joo (played by IU) proposes a contract marriage, stirring his quiet life. Viewers are keen to see what new destiny awaits Lee An-daegun when he, after suppressing his inner turmoil, meets Seong Hee-joo.<\/p>\n

The released photos showcase Lee An-daegun in elegant suits, managing affairs and enjoying reading. Adored by the Korean people, his refined grace captivates onlookers. Even during leisure, his gaze maintains an undiminished royal elegance.<\/p>\n

With both the royal family and the public closely watching Lee An-daegun’s every move, attention focuses on how his marriage, a significant event for the royal family, will unfold.<\/p>\n

Byun Woo-seok, who recently captivated global audiences with his role in the drama ‘Lovely Runner’, is set to mesmerize viewers with an undeniable princely charm in ’21st Century Crown Princess’.<\/p>\n

Set in a 21st-century constitutional monarchy in South Korea, ’21st Century Crown Princess’ chronicles the romance between a wealthy woman frustrated by her commoner status and a prince who possesses nothing but his royal title. The drama premieres this April.<\/p>\n
