Byun Woo-seok has hinted at aggressive flirting toward IU.
In the episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Duchess' (hereafter 'Grand Duchess') aired on the 17th, 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 acknowledge both the secret meeting and the possibility of a wedding.


When Lee An informed Hee-ju of the prohibition by the Regent, Hee-ju asked, "Are you already going through in-laws' house? Whose side will you take?". In response, Lee An smiled and said, "I'll be on your side".
Lee An added, "I have to act like I'm crazy about you for this absurd marriage to seem plausible, don't you think?".
