IU / Xportsnews, Captured from IU's social media

IU responded with heartfelt thanks to a generous lunch box gift from actor Byeon Woo-seok’s fans.

On Thursday, the singer and actress shared a photo on her social media account along with the caption, “Thank you for the meal!! Woo-seok 24 hours.”

The photo shows a vibrant fruit lunch box delivered by Byeon Woo-seok’s fandom to the filming set of the upcoming MBC drama tentatively titled “Wife of a 21st Century Prince.” The lunch box was packed with fresh seasonal fruits, including watermelon, kiwi, orange, cherry tomatoes and pineapple. IU expressed her appreciation with a finger heart gesture in the photo.

Fans of IU and Byeon Woo-seok, who are co-starring in the series, have been actively supporting the cast and crew by sending coffee trucks, snack trucks and lunches to the filming site.

“Wife of a 21st Century Prince” is a modern-day romance set in a fictional constitutional monarchy in Korea. The drama tells the story of a woman who has everything as a chaebol heiress but is frustrated by her commoner status, and a prince who was born to royalty but is denied the privileges that come with it. Together, they challenge the rigid rules of status in a love story about breaking societal barriers.
