Byeon Woo Seok, fresh off the success of “Lovely Runner,” has spoken about his upcoming role in the romance drama “Wife of a 21st Century Prince,” where he will star alongside IU. In a recent interview, he discussed his reasons for choosing the project, his preparation for the role, and his anticipation for working with IU again.
A New Start and Emotional Connection
Byeon Woo Seok revealed that he was drawn to “Wife of a 21st Century Prince” because of its compelling storyline. “I wanted to take on something I really wanted to do, a story that would move me emotionally,” he stated. Addressing the pressure of portraying Prince Lee Ahn, he shared his approach: “doing my best every moment.” He believes that dedication will lead to positive outcomes, and even if it doesn’t, he will continue to work hard. He views each project as “a new start” and aims to fully utilize every opportunity.
Preparing to Play a Prince
When asked about his preparation for the role, Byeon Woo Seok humorously mentioned, “I’ve been working out more and started going to a new dermatologist.” In the drama, he plays the second son of the king, Prince Lee Ahn, whose royal title holds little real power. His life takes a turn when he meets Sung Hee Joo (IU), the second daughter of a powerful conglomerate family.
Byeon Woo Seok expressed his excitement about working with IU again. He recalled his brief appearance in “Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo,” where he played IU’s character’s ex-boyfriend in the modern era. Due to the short nature of their scene together, he’s thrilled to be part of the main cast this time. “I can’t wait to act with her,” he said. The drama is scheduled for release in the latter half of 2025.
