In '21st Century Grand Duchess', IU steps up to protect Byun Woo-seok.
In the 10th episode of MBC's Saturday-Sunday drama '21st Century Grand Duchess', which aired on the 9th, the scene of Seong Hee-ju (played by IU) requesting divorce approval was depicted.
Seong Hee-ju requested Prince Lee An (played by Byun Woo-seok), "To get a divorce, approval is needed. Let me enter the inner palace." In response, Seong Hee-ju drew attention by declaring before the cabinet and royal clan members, "I am divorcing the Grand Prince. Strip me of my title."
She added, "The reason I was desperate for a rise in status, and the reason the suspect in the Jeonghwajeon fire incident took medicine and collapsed, is me. Don't target innocent people."
Seong Hee-ju warned Prime Minister Min Jeong-woo (played by Noh Sang-hyun), "Royals cannot be subjects of investigation. I heard that if I am stripped of my title, it will be easier to investigate me. Approve the divorce between the Grand Prince and me, and investigate me. Whether I am the culprit of the fire incident or whether I staged a false incident, I am confident I can prove I have no connection to the Grand Prince. Do not make such audacious remarks as telling the Regent to step down."
Following this, Seong Hee-ju's older brother Seong Tae-ju (played by Lee Jae-won) held a press conference to clarify the suspicions, and Seong Hee-ju also told the cabinet and royal clan members, "Regarding the contract, our Castle Group will conduct an audit, so please wait a little longer. It may not be completely clean, but it will be diluted appropriately."
