In the episode aired on the 17th on MBC's Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Duchess' (hereinafter 'Grand Duchess'), Lee An (played by Byun Woo-seok) was seen admitting to a scandal while taking Seong Hee-ju (played by IU) into the palace.
Previously, Lee An and Hee-ju were embroiled in a hotel secret meeting scandal. As media cameras swarmed, Lee An boldly took Hee-ju's hand and entered the palace.
Yoon I-rang (played by Gong Seung-yeon) pointed out the scandal to Lee An, but Lee An stated he would admit to both the secret meeting and the possibility of a wedding.


When Lee An informed Hee-ju of the prohibition by the Crown Prince, Hee-ju asked "Are you already going through in-laws' house treatment? Whose side will you take?". In response, Lee An smiled and said "I'll be on your side".
Lee An said "I have to act as if I'm crazy about you for this absurd marriage to seem plausible".
