Actress IU shared behind-the-scenes footage from the cruise filming of the drama '21st Century Grand Duchess'.
On the 28th, IU's official YouTube channel 'This Moment' posted a video from the filming site of the MBC drama '21st Century Grand Duchess'. The released video captured IU and Byun Woo-seok during the cruise scene filming conducted in Busan.

In the video, when asked about the ship's name, IU replied "Cruiser Hee-ju," taking it from her character's name. When asked when she started developing feelings for Lee-an Daegun (played by Byun Woo-seok), who is her character Seong Hee-ju, she revealed it was "from Part 3." IU explained, "Didn't it end with a kiss in Part 3? Even if I didn't realize it at the time, the seed of my heart had already sprouted."

An episode during filming in the rain was also captured. When Byun Woo-seok shielded IU's head with his hand, IU playfully said, "I don't think anyone has ever done this for me before." Byun Woo-seok replied, "That's because it never rained in front of me," continuing the conversation.
Throughout the filming, the two exchanged stories and jokes about their characters, maintaining a lively atmosphere on set. The video has garnered significant interest from fans immediately after its release, proving the drama's buzz.
MBC's '21st Century Grand Duchess', starring IU and Byun Woo-seok, airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
