IU shared her way of overcoming laziness.

On the 10th, the 34th episode of IU's 'Palette' titled 'Would you like a 3-octave high note? (with WOODZ)' was uploaded to IU's Youtube channel. The guest for the episode was WOORZ.

In the video, WOODZ talked about 'Super Lazy,' the second track from his newly released album. He said, "To be honest, I actually have a very strong sense of laziness."

He added, "When I'm at home, I love doing absolutely nothing and just lounging around. I remember that track being the last one I wrote."

He explained the reason behind the song, "Writing it was really hard. At the time, I was filming a movie, working on mixing the B-tracks of my album, and preparing for both festivals and concerts all at once. I just wanted to rest at home. I really missed that laziness."

After hearing this, IU laughed and said, "That's different from the kind of laziness people usually talk about," adding, "For me, I find everything except work to be a hassle."

She confessed, "I know exactly how much I would fall behind if I let myself sink into laziness, so I'm always on guard. I just sit at the dining table. I don't solve anything, I just sit there."

She added, "I like being at home. I'm not the type of person who finds much joy in going out. That's why I'm envious of people like Seungyoun who live while enjoying the fundamental joys of life."

COMMENTS:

-IU looks so f*cking gorgeous. I’m really looking forward to the drama.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This somehow looks funny.

-Is this the best they could do...?????? I can't tell what they're trying to deliver here. It doesn't even match the genre.

-Is this the best poster they could make? They are pretty and handsome, but I think the poster could've been betterㅠㅠ

-I’m really looking forward to it.

-I thought it was a Chinese drama for a second...

-I feel like this isn't the best they could’ve done... but I’m still really looking forward to the drama.

-I don't see any chemistry, and I can't really feel the "Grand Prince’s wife" concept either.

-I like each actor individually, but I don’t see the chemistry between them..

-I can't feel the chemistry just from the poster, but maybe it'll be different once I watch the drama!! If the acting is good enough, chemistry can be created out of nowhere.

-It looks more like a pictorial than a drama poster.

-Well, the poster isn't that important anyway... I just hope it's fun to watch.

-I actually like the poster. IU looks pretty.

-It looks so old-fashioned.

-The poster actually looks better than I expected, though?

'Came to IU's house and threatened her' ... 96 malicious commenters exposed for sexual harassments and insults

SOURCE: "아이유 집 찾아와 위협"…성희롱→모욕 악플러 96人 ID 공개 박제 [스타이슈]

IU (Lee Jieun) has filed lawsuits against a large number of malicious commenters.

On the 11th, her agency, EDAM Entertainment, shared an update on the legal actions taken against individuals who posted malicious content about IU, including defamation, insults, spreading false rumors, malicious slander, and sexual harassment.

According to IU's side, she worked with the law firm Shinwon to file criminal and civil lawsuits against a total of 96 individuals last year. Since the last update, the court has issued 7 fines, 1 fine along with an order to complete a sexual violence treatment program, 3 suspended indictments with the conditions of completing educational programs, and 1 case of suspended prison sentence with probation. Additional complaints were filed against individuals who continued posting malicious content even after being sued once. For these individuals, formal trials were conducted instead of simple fines.

In particular, IU's side is taking strict action against illegal acts that invade the privacy of the artist and her family or threaten their safety. Recently, there have been multiple cases of people visiting IU's home, her family's home, or areas near her company to threaten her safety or demand money. These individuals were booked by police and are under investigation. IU's side stated, "We clearly declare that we will take strong legal action, including criminal charges, without any mercy, for acts that threaten the artist's safety. We strongly urge people to refrain from approaching or visiting the artist, her family, or associates under any circumstances."

Below is the full official statement from IU's side.

This is EDAM Entertainment.

We would like to inform you of the status of legal action taken against individuals who have posted malicious content about our artist, IU, including defamation, insults, spreading false rumors, malicious slander, and sexual harassment.

Through the law firm Shinwon, which is representing us legally, we have filed criminal and civil lawsuits against a total of 96 individuals last year (2025).

The subjects of the complaints and lawsuits include individuals who posted malicious content on platforms like Naver, Nate Pann, Daum, Theqoo, DC Inside, Threads, Instagram, Instiz, Ilbe, Youtube, and X (아이***, le***, _on***, 1o***, su***, so***, 7h***, 10***, ba***, my***, 코끼***, Ca***, 헤으***, 미카***, 자파***, om***, 화교***, 서로***, 와***, nr***, am***, se***, etc)

Since our previous notice, the court has issued 7 fines, 1 fine along with an order to complete a sexual violence treatment program, 3 suspended indictments with the conditions of completing educational programs, and 1suspended prison sentence of 10 months with 2 years’ probation and an order for probation supervision. For those who continued posting malicious content even after an initial complaint, additional charges were filed, and formal trial proceedings (not merely summary orders) were carried out.

Here are the major updates.

The court sentenced an individual who spread false rumors about the artist (spy allegations) to a fine of 5 million KRW. In a civil lawsuit for damages filed against an individual on X who made false plagiarism accusations against the artist, the court ordered them to pay the full 30 million KRW in damages. Additionally, the court also sentenced an individual who repeatedly spread false rumors regarding her nationality and identity along with sexual harassment content to 10 months in prison, suspended for 2 years, and ordered probation.

Additionally, a criminal complaint filed against 'cyber wrecker' Youtube accounts that spread defamatory and false information about the artist is currently under investigation. We also have filed a civil lawsuit for damages against a user on Threads who spread false information and defamed the artist. We are in the process of asking U.S. court to disclose information to identify the user.

In addition to malicious online posts, we are also responding strictly to illegal acts that invade the privacy of the artist and her family or threaten their personal safety. Recently, there have been multiple cases of individuals being arrested and investigated by police for visiting the artist's home, her family's residence, or areas near the company to threaten her safety or demand money. We clearly state that we will take strong legal action, including criminal charges, without mercy against any behavior that threatens the artist's safety. We strongly urge people to refrain from approaching or visiting the artist, her family, or associates under any circumstances.

We are currently taking legal steps against more malicious posts. In particular, we are proceeding with legal action against individuals on the platform Threads ((he***, xx***, da***, hh***, li***, pi***, hy***, yu***, etc) who posted defamatory, insulting, false, malicious, or sexually harassing content. We will announce further updates later.

In addition to valuable reports from fans, we are constantly monitoring and collecting evidence of malicious posts across portal sites and communities (Naver, Nate Pann, Daum, Theqoo, DC Inside, Waigosoo, Instiz, Ilbe, MLB Park, etc), social media platforms (Threads, Instagram, X, etc), music streaming sites (Melon, Bugs, etc) and Youtube.

We will continue to take strong legal action against any illegal acts that threaten the artist's honor and safety. We clearly state that we will hold perpetrators fully responsible to the end, without any settlement or leniency.

EDAM Entertainment will do its best to protect the safety and rights of our artist. 

Thank you.

TOP COMMENTS: 

1. [+215][-28] Well done. Please go all the way till the end without any mercy.

2. [+181][-26] Instead of using your time to leave malicious comments, maybe you should focus on your real life^^

3. [+162][-58] Is there even anything to hate about IU? She's an amazing singer, donates a lot, is kind, and has a great personality. There is nothing to post bad comments about...

4. [+25][-7] The keyboard warriors must be shaking in the corner of their rooms right nowㅋ

5. [+20][-5] This is what happens when losers with absolutely nothing to do get busy.

Byun Wooseok ♥ IU '21st Century Grand Prince's Wife' ... First look of the script reading

SOURCE: 변우석♥아이유 '21세기 대군부인', 대본리딩 현장 첫 공개

The script reading for '21st Century Grand Prince's Wife,' one of the most anticipated dramas in the first half of 2026, has finally been revealed.

The new MBC drama, scheduled to air in April 2026, is set in a modern South Korea under constitutional monarchy. It follows the story of a rich woman, who is frustrated because she's a commoner, and a king's son, who is sad because he possesses nothing, as they try to change their fates and overcome social classes.

The drama has been drawing attention since the lineup was announced, since it includes stars like IU (as Song Heejoo), Byun Wooseok (as Prince Yi Wan), Noh Sanghyun (as Min Jungwoo), and Gong Seungyeon (as Yoon Yirang). As one of the hottest dramas of the year, the release of the script reading photos has further raised anticipation.

Director Park Joonhwa, writer Yoon Jiwon, along with all the actors gathered at the reading. The atmosphere was filled with warm laughter as the actors shared their bold aspirations. IU said, "I will work hard so this drama takes over the drama scene in 2026," while Byun Wooseok added, "I'll do my best to shake the world in 2026." Noh Sanghyun joked, "I'll aim to shake the whole universe," and Gong Seungyeon promised, "I'll work hard to create a joyful filming set."

IU first showcased the confident personality of Song Heejoo, a chaebol heiress who has everything except a royal title. In the scene where she asks Prince Yi Wan (Byun Wooseok) to marry her to raise her status, she made everyone in the room laugh with her witty gestures and playful wink.

Byun Wooseok, playing as Prince Yi Wan who has nothing but a royal title, radiated royal dignity with his deep voice and calm acting. In moments where the usually calm prince begins to shows his feelings after meeting Song Heejoo (IU), he skillfully changed his tone to convey the transformation.

IU and Byun Wooseok, who meet for a 'contract marriage' in the story, showed great chemistry. The way they maintained eye contact and adjusted their rhythm raises further excitement for the drama.

Meanwhile, Noh Sanghyun added energy to the room as the Prime Minister, Min Jungwoo. He showed natural chemistry with IU and acted as a reliable bestfriend to Byun Wooseok, raising expectations for his role in the drama.

On the other hand, Gong Seungyoun played the role of Yoon Yirang, a woman born with the destiny of becoming queen, bringing a different kind of tension. Even in scenes where she argues with Prince Yi Wan, she maintained elegant in her speech and gestures, embodying her character perfectly.

'21st Century Grand Prince's Wife' has successfully started its journey with this passionate script reading. From the romance between the similar-yet-different Song Heejoo and Prince Yi Wan, to the complex relationships of Min Jungwoo and Yoon Yirang, the drama promises a rich story filled with both excitement and laughter.

MBC's new Fri-Sat drama '21st Century Grand Prince's Wife,' which is considered as the most anticipated project of the first half of 2026, will start airing this April.

Will we see '30-something' IU and Byun Wooseok in school uniforms again? ... '21st Century Grand Prince's Wife' spotted filming at a school, sparking buzz

IU and Byun Wooseok, who are drawing attention for their pairing in the upcoming drama '21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife,' are sparking buzz for their scenes in school uniform.

Recently, posts from people claiming to have participated in the filming of '21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife' were spread online. An extra shared a photo of the school uniform worn during the filming, drawing a lot of attention. The revealed uniform is a light blue shirt paired with a dark blue vest and skirt, the unique pattern on the tie and vest caught everyone's eyes.

Viewers who saw the photos shared their excitement, saying, "IU and Byun Wooseok would look great in those," and "They cold totally pull off the roles of high school students."

Notably, IU (born in 1993) and Byun Wooseok (born in 1991) are both in their mid-30s, but they both looked perfectly natural in school uniforms in their last projects.

IU had earned high praises for her previous hit Netflix series 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' released in March, where she perfectly played characters from a wide range of ages, from a high school student to a working adult. Byun Wooseok also previously played the role of a high school student in his hit drama last year, 'Lovely Runner.'

In addition, there have been sightings of IU, Byun Wooseok, and Roh Sanghyun filming at a high school for '21st Century Grand Prince's Wife,' which raises expectations even more.

'21st Century Grand Prince's Wife' is a romance drama set in a fictional 21st-century constitutional monarchy in South Korea. It tells the story about Sung Heejoo (IU), a wealthy heiress annoyed by the fact that she's only a 'commoner,' and Grand Prince Lee Wan (Byun Wooseok), the king's son who is sad because he can't have anything. This drama is planned to air in the first half of next year.

IU can’t go to the U.S. anymoreㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

 

"IU reported to the CIA" ... Fallout from the President's impeachment, how far will it go?

Did you see IU got reported to the CIA? Want to know why?

The Democratic Party included the phrase "President Yoon Sukyeol antagonized North Korea and China" in the impeachment motion against him.

Does that even make sense?

Our country is a ceasefire country and our main enemy is North Korea. How can impeaching the South Korean president for opposing North Korea even be justified?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Are they crazy?

Look at the laws and policies the Democratic Party is pushing right now.

Look at the laws and policies the Democratic Party is pushing right now.

They’re opposing revisions to the anti-espionage law, trying to dismantle the National Intelligence Service, and even attempting to abolish the National Security Act.

At this point, isn’t it basically like saying, "We’re spies"?

They’re also trying to impeach the Minister of Justice, the Commissioner General of the National Police, a sitting prosecutor, the Minister of the Interior and Safety, the Chair of the Board of Audit and Inspection, and the Broadcasting Commission head...!

Basically, if North Korea were to invade right now, we’d be doomed.

The president only enacted and lifted martial law for a few hours. According to their logic, he’s no longer a threat. So why are they rushing to impeach him so desperately? Think about it carefully.

This is a national crisis, the greatest since the 625 War (NB: Korean War)

Even Elon Musk dropped a hint about it.

If we fail to distinguish allies from enemies now, we’re headed for communization.

In conclusion: Supporting the impeachment of the president = Pro-China, Pro-North Korea, Anti-U.S.

Remember that....

The meaning behind Elon Musk's post:

1. President Yoon declared martial law to eliminate pro-North Korea forces.

2. Yet, the opposition is obsessed with how the martial law was expressed, pushing for impeachment.

3. The opposition is practically salivating at the chance to remove President Yoon.

4. Let’s hope Korea becomes a rational country.

Since people keep calling it fake news, so here’s some fact-checking from an American lawyer.

Companies are probably sending internal memos about this tooㅋㅋㅋ

So far, everything the left called fake was real, and everything they called real was fake.

The important thing here is not the fact that IU is now unable to enter the U.S., but impeachment = Pro-China, Pro-North Korea!!! You fools. 

We asked American lawyers: Have there actually been cases where people were denied entry to the U.S. because of social media?

Yoo Haejoon, U.S. attorney: Quite often. More than Facebook or Twitter, issues often arise with KakaoTalk messages.

Kim Hyewook, U.S. attorney: Even if you enter on an ESTA without listing social media accounts, be cautious. During inspections, they may examine your phone without warning.

What happens if someone says they don’t have social media accounts?

Yoo Haejoon, U.S. attorney: If your phone is inspected and you’re caught lying, it could lead to bigger issues.

Kim Hyewook, U.S. attorney: Phone inspections can include KakaoTalk or Band messenger apps, and they may even request to check your email content.

Isn’t checking messenger conversations an invasion of privacy?

Both lawyers explain that airport entry points are considered borders, and foreigners may not receive the same constitutional protections for privacy.

Guys, slow down on reporting people to the CIA...ㅋㅋㅋ

Since yesterday morning, our company has been in chaos because ESTA approvals started getting revoked. The planning team had to send out a mass email, and it’s been a messㅋㅋ

Even when contacting the U.S. embassy about ESTA cancellations, all they say is, "We’re not obligated to share the reason for cancellation."

So, those whose ESTAs got revoked now have to apply for B-1 or L-1 visas, which require submitting sensitive personal information.

This creates variables based on individual eligibility assessments, and the planning team is scrambling to fix schedulesㅋㅋㅋ

1. [+426][-102] The CIA said to stop messing around.

2. [+311][-74] As someone who's lacking in the head, you're quite diligent, I guess.

3. [+237][-101] Oh dear, you fool… How old are you to still see the world in such black-and-white terms?

4. [+226][-283] After all the propaganda and brainwashing from mad cow disease scares, the Sewol ferry incident, and candlelight protests, they still don’t get it... Do they even realize that they’re protesting alongside Chinese and Korean-Chinese? I guess you're the same kind of people, huh?ㅋㅋㅋ You can fool me once, but not twice. Especially not by that impeachment-obsessed party^^

If you look up Facebook, you’ll see Chinese protestors posting pictures of themselves and their families at rallies in Yeouido.

Get it together, Democratic Party supporters.

We are an ally of the United States, part of a pro-American alliance.

How can we even entertain the idea of communism in a time when we need to counter China and Russia, allies of North Korea?

5. [+218][-196] A core tactic of communists is 'false accusations.' They commit treason and then accuse others of treason. They hire people to post comments but then accuse others of using paid trolls. Everything the Democratic Party and its trolls are doing now is straight out of the communist playbook. I heard this from someone who studied spies during the disbandment of the Unified Progressive Party.
