The King: Eternal Monarch released its 5th and 6th episodes over the weekend. The two episodes unfolded several subplots. This included Jung Tae Eul riding her way into Lee Gon's universe on the white horse, roaming around the streets of Seoul in the Kingdom of Corea, a war between Corea and Japan, a glimpse at Lee Rim's plans and the romance between Gon and Tae Eul finally blooming. While there are several talking points, Twitter managed to point a reference and lost their minds over it.
One of the many twists on the series included Tae Eul meeting Prime Minister Goo Seo‑ryung in Seoul when Gon comes to his guest's rescue.

To which, Tae Eul responds, "Is she IU", referring to the famous K-Pop star.
