IU and Byun Woo-seok Meet Yoo In-na

IU and Byun Woo-seok have confirmed their appearance on 'Yoo In-na's Radio,' hosted by actress Yoo In-na. The two will star in MBC's new drama 'The Grand Princess of the 21st Century,' and are currently coordinating schedules in the pre-production phase.

IU and Yoo In-na first met through the 2010 SBS variety show 'Good Sunday - Heroes' and have since maintained a special, close friendship for a long time. Despite an 11-year age difference, they are known as one of the entertainment industry's representative best friends. In this content, they are expected to showcase natural chemistry and a special synergy. The program is anticipated to provide entertainment through in-depth behind-the-scenes stories in a comfortable atmosphere. 'Yoo In-na's Radio' is known as a promotional content piece highly favored by actors due to Yoo In-na's witty and sophisticated hosting.

'The Grand Princess of the 21st Century' is a class-defying romance drama set in a constitutional monarchy South Korea in the 21st century. It tells the story of a woman of common birth who has everything and a man who is the son of a king but has nothing, as they forge their own destinies. The drama is set to premiere on April 10th. This marks Byun Woo-seok's return to acting approximately two years after tvN's 'Lovely Runner.'

To promote 'The Grand Princess of the 21st Century,' IU and Byun Woo-seok had previously confirmed appearances on Yoo Jae-suk's web variety show 'Nego King' and Jang Do-yeon's 'Salon Drip.' With the announcement of their meeting with Yoo In-na, attention is focused on their diverse promotional activities.

Meanwhile, IU is set to appear in the Netflix series 'When Life Gives You Tangerines.' This drama, set in 1950s Jeju Island, unfolds the adventurous lives of Ae-soon, a 'clever rebel,' and Gwan-sik, a 'stubbornly devoted man,' through the four seasons. It is scheduled to be released on Netflix on March 7th. IU previously revealed that she became more tearful while filming 'When Life Gives You Tangerines,' as she had to act out crying scenes for the entire year.
