On July 28, Byeon Woo-seok shared photos on social media of a coffee truck sent by IU’s international fanbase, Utopia . The truck featured an elegant and poetic banner that read: “You, who ride the winds of change—together, the two of us walk that path and paint a sunset-like palette.” A playful message accompanied it: “When Woo-seok is happy, Tongtong is happy too,” referring to IU’s affectionate fandom nickname for Byeon Woo-seok.
The truck came with custom-made snacks, adorable character-themed goodies, and even a giant snack bag with Woo-seok’s face — turning the filming site into a mini fan event. In one image, the actor held a fan-prepared drink, smiling warmly at the camera and captioned the post, “Thank you~.”
In a charming twist, IU then posted a thank-you message on her own SNS, showing a photo of a lunchbox she received from Byeon Woo-seok’s fandom, Tongtongie . Her caption read: “Thanks for the delicious lunch, Woohaeng Tonghaeng!!” She also included a shot of themed snacks and a character cup set — presumably gifts from the fans — making it a full-circle moment of mutual appreciation.
Netizens were quick to react to the wholesome fandom interaction, with comments such as:
- “This chemistry is too cute,”
- “Both fandoms have incredible sense,”
- “Can’t wait for 21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife already!”
Currently in production, 21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife is a fantasy romance set in an alternate version of South Korea where a constitutional monarchy still exists. The story follows a love that transcends class barriers — between a chaebol commoner and the nation’s crown prince. The drama is set to premiere next year and has already generated buzz thanks to the leads’ chemistry and their fans’ spirited involvement.
