IU and Byeon Woo Seok are set to make their first official appearance together ahead of their highly anticipated new drama.
According to News1 on the 21st, IU and Byeon Woo Seok have confirmed their joint attendance at the 2025 MBC Drama Awards, which will air live on December 30. The two stars will appear as presenters, drawing major attention as the leading actors of MBC’s upcoming flagship drama '21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife'.
As two of the most in-demand actors in the industry and the leads of one of next year’s most anticipated dramas, their appearance is expected to be one of the ceremony’s biggest highlights. Notably, this marks the first time IU and Byeon Woo Seok will stand together at an official public event since the drama’s casting was announced, further heightening excitement.
'21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife' is set in a modern constitutional monarchy in Korea and follows Seong Hee Joo (played by IU), a wealthy heiress frustrated by her commoner status, and Lee Wan (played by Byeon Woo Seok), a prince who possesses royal blood but no real power. The drama explores their fateful romance and struggle to break free from rigid social hierarchies.
IU solidified her irreplaceable presence this year through Netflix’s 'When Life Gives You Tangerines', earning praise for both popularity and acting depth. Byeon Woo Seok, meanwhile, rose to the status of a breakout star with 'Lovely Runner'. With anticipation already high for their on-screen romance, attention is now focused on what kind of chemistry the two will showcase at the awards ceremony.
