’21st Century Grand Duchess’ IU throws her support behind Byeon Woo‑seok’s character.
The MBC Friday–Saturday drama ’21st Century Grand Duchess,’ which aired on the 16th, depicted Seong Hee‑ju (IU) backing Grand Prince Ian (Byeon Woo‑seok) in a politically charged turn of events.
Seong Hee‑ju asks Grand Prince Ian, “What will be your first words as king?” He replies, “I’ll say something very difficult. I may take a lot of criticism, but you…”
When Seong Hee‑ju responds, “You’ll understand me,” Grand Prince Ian says, “I’m going to exclude the royal family. Inherited status—things that become privileges or constraints—those all begin with the monarchy.”
Seong Hee‑ju affirms her support: “I thought it was treason, but it’s actually a revolution — it’s my dream.” When Grand Prince Ian asks, “You’re ready to give up the status you barely have?” she answers, “Since when did I ever want status? The opportunities I missed because of it were awful.”
