On the 5th, the YouTube channel ‘MBCdrama’ uploaded a video titled ‘[21st Century Grand Princess] IU and Byun Woo-seok’s Informal Interview with the Grand Couple’.<\/p>\n

In the video, IU said, “Today, we thought we’d get a bit closer to you all by conducting this interview informally.”<\/p>\n

IU then asked, “I’ll start with the questions. How did you feel when you heard I would be your co-star?”<\/p>\n

Byun Woo-seok exclaimed “Eureka” and said, “I was so thrilled, and I felt like I could have fun and do even better. Then I remembered, ‘That’s right, we worked on a project together 10 years ago.'”<\/p>\n

He added, “I was so happy at that moment. It was exciting too.”<\/p>\n

IU also asked, “What does Hiju (IU) mean to Ian Daegun (played by Byun Woo-seok)?” Byun explained, “Ian Daegun is someone without allies, and she was the first person to take my side. She’s precious enough for me to sacrifice myself for, and she’s everything.”<\/p>\n

IU, listening to this, teased, “That was so touching. It was a good answer.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the MBC series ’21st Century Grand Princess’, starring IU and Byun Woo-seok, is a romance that challenges social hierarchies, set in the backdrop of a 21st-century constitutional monarchy in South Korea. The premiere is on the 10th at 9:40 PM.<\/p>\n
