IU Feels Sorry for Byeon Woo Seok

In the MBC drama 'The Grand Prince of the 21st Century,' Seong Hee-ju (played by IU) confessed her complex feelings and true emotions to Lee An, the Grand Prince (played by Byun Woo-seok), who was asleep.

Seong Hee-ju gently smoothed the furrowed brow of the sleeping Grand Prince Lee An with her hand. Recalling Lee An's past words of concern for her, "I'm a little scared my honor might harm you," she felt a mix of guilt and pity for her lover, who was in a precarious position in the royal family because of her.

With her hand resting on the Grand Prince Lee An's arm, Seong Hee-ju murmured softly, "Me too. I'm scared I'll ruin you," revealing her anguish over the dangerous situation Lee An was in due to her.

Later, after meeting Min Jeong-woo (played by Noh Sang-hyun), Seong Hee-ju confessed her desperate feelings, unsure of what to do, and exploded with emotion. She tearfully pleaded for help, saying, "What should I do? You must know. Nothing is okay right now, neither the company nor the royal family, and there's nothing I can do." However, Min Jeong-woo only advised her to "stay put."

Seong Hee-ju protested Min Jeong-woo's words, denying his dismissal of her relationship with the Grand Prince Lee An as a 'show window' by saying, "I don't think so," admitting her change. When Min Jeong-woo then asked, "What don't you think so about?", Seong Hee-ju confessed, "I like him. Him. Very much," revealing her true feelings for the Grand Prince Lee An.
