In '21st Century Grand Duchess', IU's character generated public sympathy upon her discharge.

In the eighth episode of MBC's Saturday-Sunday drama '21st Century Grand Duchess', which aired on the 2nd, the scene depicted Seong Hee-ju (played by IU) being discharged after becoming addicted to a mysterious drug.

Prince Lee An (played by Byun Woo-seok) summoned her to the palace to ensure her safety. After waking up, Seong Hee-ju watched news reports about her fainting and remarked, "They really made a movie out of this."

On the day of her discharge, Han Da-young (played by Chae Seo-an) visited Seong Hee-ju and took meticulous care of her. Her attending physician explained regarding Seong Hee-ju's condition, "The detoxification is complete, so there is no strain. However, it would be best to continue ECG monitoring even within the palace."

Han Da-young said, "The young lady is beautiful even when she is sick," to which Seong Hee-ju grumbled, "Am I being extra pretty again today?" She then added, "Why must I be pretty until today? It's tiresome," and applied makeup to make her lips appear pale.

Seong Hee-ju stated, "The entire nation watched me collapse in real time; how could I be discharged looking pretty? There are people spreading nonsense about bad luck." She then set out to manufacture public sympathy.

Seong Hee-ju left the hospital with a pitiful expression, coughing pitifully in response to reporters' questions before getting into a car.

Do Hye-jung instructed the Castle Beauty secretary's office, "It will feel awkward since it's different from the usual vibe. It's not pretending to be strong; it's pretending to be weak. The CEO who entered the royal family is a commoner outsider. Make the CEO into a tragic heroine. Make everyone want to cheer for her completely," directing the creation of public opinion.

In response, sympathy for Seong Hee-ju emerged, with comments such as, "The Dowager Empress is bullying her terribly," and "She must have lived lavishly as a chaebol; she is pitiful."
