[Sports Seoul | Reporter Park Jin-up] Actor Byun Woo-seok turned heads after sharing a striking two-shot with IU.
On April 4, Byun posted a series of behind-the-scenes photos on his social media with the simple caption "21st Century." In the images, he wears a black uniform embroidered with ornate gold thread, projecting a quietly magnetic presence.
The frames that stood out most capture intimate moments between Byun and IU. IU, in an elegant off-the-shoulder gown, channels the poise of the drama’s titular "21st Century Grand Lady." Paired with Byun in his uniform and lit by a lavish chandelier, the duo create a cinematic atmosphere; their shared smiles and exchanged glances have prompted a flurry of online reaction.
Other released shots highlight Byun’s model-like poise in tailored suits and boldly patterned jackets. Even his candid moments—monitoring footage or taking a break—read like editorial stills, drawing praise for his photogenic presence and proportions.
MBC’s new Friday–Saturday drama, "21st Century Grand Lady," which charts a decade-long arc between IU and Byun Woo-seok, premieres April 10 at 9:40 p.m. KST.
