IU wasn‘t leaving either... Byun Woo-seok’s ‘21st Century Grand Prince‘s Wife’ false report incident [Official]

Singer and IU’s side also denied the rumors of their leaving.

On the 28th, TV Daily reported, “IU and Byun Woo-seok recently informed the MBC drama ‘21st Century Grand Prince‘s Wife’ (tentative title, script Yoo Ah-in, director Park Joon-hwa) that they were scheduled to appear in, of their intention to leave.”

The media outlet cited the failure to coordinate opinions regarding the scheduling of the drama as the reason for their leaving. They also relayed an entertainment official’s statement, saying, “While MBC is negotiating with Disney+, the actors‘ side wanted to be provided with Netflix, which is why there was a difference of opinion.”

However, an official from Byun Woo-seok’s agency Baro Entertainment denied the rumors of their leaving to Donga.com. An official from IU‘s agency, EDAM Entertainment, also stated that she is not leaving the drama.

Meanwhile, ‘21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife’ is set in the 21st century constitutional monarchy of the Republic of Korea. It is a romance that breaks down social status between a woman who has everything but is merely a commoner and a man who is sad because he is the son of a king but cannot have anything. IU was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and has everything: beauty, intelligence, and a fierce competitive spirit. She is the second son of the number one conglomerate family, Sung Hee-joo. Byun Woo-seok was cast as Prince Ian of the 21st century constitutional monarchy of the Republic of Korea.
