Wife of a 21st Century Prince seems to have shot a few scenes at a high school as photos from the set were released online. The rumors say that Byeon Woo Seok and IU may not have used younger doubles to take on their roles as children, but instead took on the job themselves, stepping back into uniforms. The almost-34-year-old and the 32-year-old are no strangers to the dandy styling of Korean high school uniforms, but it is rather rare to see actors in their early thirties do so, and past instances of such have always invited admiration from fans.

At the age of 32, he looked flawless and impressed the viewers.

Interest has grown as to how their chemistry will appear on screen, including their high school versions. Meanwhile, Wife of 21st Century Prince, is said to be eyeing a 2026 first-half premiere.
