IU and Byeon Woo Seok’s sweet moment has been captured.
MBC’s upcoming Friday-Saturday drama Perfect Crown has unveiled paparazzi-style photos capturing the sweet, fluttering chemistry between its central couple, Seong Hee Joo and Prince Yian. The newly released images are already fueling anticipation for what’s shaping up to be one of next year’s most talked-about romances.
In the series, Seong Hee Joo is a chaebol with beauty, intelligence, fierce ambition and sharp business skills, but she faces limitations as an illegitimate child and a commoner by status. Prince Yian, meanwhile, is beloved by the public for his natural charisma and refined presence and effectively runs the royal family in place of a young king. However, as the royal family’s second son, he lives while concealing himself, unable to fully step into the spotlight.
Bound by limitations neither can escape, Seong Hee Joo and Prince Yian make a bold decision: a contract marriage meant to rewrite their fates.

The newly released paparazzi photos capture the couple’s everyday moments as an engaged pair. Their unconventional wedding march, driven by ambition as much as emotion, is already stirring curiosity.
Adding to the excitement is the on-screen chemistry between IU and Byeon Woo Seok. Both actors have been on a hot streak, earning widespread love. As Seong Hee Joo and Prince Yian, they are expected to deliver a romance that feels equal parts modern fantasy and royal fairytale.
Perfect Crown will premiere on MBC in April 2026.
