IU and Byeon Woo-seok have been confirmed as the leads in the upcoming MBC drama Wife of a 21st Century Prince (tentative title). Kakao Entertainment announced the casting on December 2, revealing that the series, planned by Kang Dae-sun and written by Yoo Ah-in, will depict a romance set in the constitutional monarchy of the Republic of Korea.

The drama tells the story of a woman who seemingly has everything yet remains a “commoner” by status and a prince who, despite being born into royalty, feels he has nothing. Originally the winning script in MBC’s drama contest, the project is set to be co-produced by MBC and Kakao Entertainment.

IU will take on the role of Seong Hee-joo, the second daughter of the country’s most powerful conglomerate family. Blessed with beauty, intelligence, and ambition, she has always viewed her ordinary social status as unremarkable—until it becomes a significant obstacle in her life. Her fate changes when she crosses paths with Prince Ian.

IU has been a part of dramas like My Mister, Hotel Del Luna, and Broker. Byeon Woo-seok will portray Prince Ian, the second son of the king in a modern constitutional monarchy. Despite his royal lineage, he is left with nothing but his title. His life takes an unexpected turn upon meeting Seong Hee-joo, who challenges his carefully guarded world.


Wife of a 21st Century Prince is slated to premiere in the second half of 2025.
