IU's 21st Century Defense Against Army Wife Accusations

In the 10th episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'Prince of the 21st Century', Sung Hee-joo (played by IU) declares war on the world to protect Prince Ian (played by Byun Woo-seok). Sung Hee-joo is set to shake up the palace by demanding a divorce not only from Prince Ian but also from Prime Minister Min Jung-woo (played by Noh Sang-hyun) and the royal family.

Previously, the leak of Sung Hee-joo and Prince Ian's marriage contract put them at the center of controversy. Rumors that Prince Ian was colluding with Castle Group to seize the throne and theories that the poisoning attempt on their wedding day was staged further jeopardized Prince Ian's position.

In response, Sung Hee-joo plans to demand a divorce to deflect the criticism directed at Prince Ian onto herself and fight against the world. With Prince Ian's answer still pending, attention is focused on what consequences Sung Hee-joo's unilateral actions will bring.

The reactions of Prince Ian and Min Jung-woo as they watch Sung Hee-joo's actions are also drawing interest. Prince Ian has been trying to protect Sung Hee-joo from criticism and has confessed his true feelings, making his response to her divorce request significant.

Meanwhile, Min Jung-woo begins to mobilize all his power to stop Sung Hee-joo's actions. The two, who were once a reliable senior-junior relationship, now harbor different intentions and foreshadow an unavoidable confrontation. Sung Hee-joo's struggle to persuade Min Jung-woo in order to protect Prince Ian is expected to be depicted.
