'21st Century Grand Duchess' features Byun Woo-seok meeting IU's family as her fiancé.

In the seventh episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Duchess' (script by Yoo Ji-won; directed by Park Jun-hwa and Bae Hee-young; planned by Kang Dae-seon; produced by MBC and Kakao Entertainment), which airs on the 1st, Prince Lee An (played by Byun Woo-seok) visits Seong Hee-ju's (played by IU) family home for their first meeting with her family.

Previously, Seong Hee-ju and Prince Lee An smoothly proceeded through the approval of the surprise proposal at the National Assembly Lee Ben-teu-wa (국왕), becoming an officially recognized couple acknowledged by all. As preparations for the royal wedding begin in earnest, Seong Hee-ju and Prince Lee An are set to meet with Seong Hee-ju's family following their meal with Princess Yoon I-rang (played by Gong Seung-yeon).

In the released photos, the stiff expressions of Seong Hee-ju and Prince Lee An, who visited the home of Castle Group's Sung Hyun-guk (played by Cho Seung-yeon), draw attention. While Seong Hee-ju appears visibly awkward and keeps a rigid expression during the gathering with the family, Prince Lee An, sitting beside his future father-in-law Sung Hyun-guk, seems somewhat nervous but wears a subtle smile as he strives to earn his trust.

However, despite these efforts, Seong Hee-ju, who had previously clashed with her father Sung Hyun-guk every time they met, abruptly stands up and leaves the table, surprising viewers. Seong Hee-ju's sudden action quickly freezes the atmosphere around them, raising questions about whether the meal will conclude without incident.

'21st Century Grand Duchess' production team stated, "Seong Hee-ju and Prince Lee An, who were destined to be enemies within the family, will deepen their understanding of each other's situations by directly witnessing and experiencing them, further strengthening their emotions." They added, "Please watch Prince Lee An's efforts to open Sung Hyun-guk's heart for Seong Hee-ju, just as Seong Hee-ju stood up to Yoon I-rang for Prince Lee An."
