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’.

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

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

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.'”

He added, “I was so happy at that moment. It was exciting too.”

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.”

IU, listening to this, teased, “That was so touching. It was a good answer.”

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.
