IU is returning with another iconic character! The singer and actress shared details of her upcoming role alongside Byeon Woo Seok in the modern romance drama, Wife of 21st Century Prince (also called 21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife). Called Seong Hee Joo, she will be seen as a chaebol heiress who, despite having everything, is stuck with a ‘commoner’ status. During her fan meeting the past weekend in her homeland, she spoke about having completed almost half of the filming and shared never-before-seen looks at her character.
IU confirmed that the filming for Wife of 21st Century Prince is currently ongoing, with production set to wrap up by January or February 2026. The shoot schedule began earlier this year with the aim of airing next year. However, that wasn’t all the updates she had for her fans. Watched by thousands of Uaenas, the actress showed off a few looks of herself as Seong Hee Joo. She emphasized that people should not judge her character too soon, as she may be mistaken for someone with bad intentions, but that’s not the case.
In the photos, she could be seen dressed very fashionably, matching the vibe of the conglomerate heiress that comes with the character. Fans can expect to see some very outright posh and expensive fits from the lead star. From formal two-pieces to more outgoing versions, she appeared to be decked from head to toe in luxury. From diamond rings to swanky cars, she has it all!
