IU Gifts Entire 'Prince Consort of the 21st Century' Staff with $500 Gift Certificates for Chuseok
Singer and actress IU has generously gifted all staff members of the upcoming MBC drama 'Prince Consort of the 21st Century' with thoughtful Chuseok presents.
Recently, a staff member shared photos on their personal social media account, showing a one-don gold bar and a red envelope containing approximately 500,000 KRW in gift certificates.
The post read, 'For Chuseok, we had a lucky draw and I won a gold bar,' also mentioning, 'Senior IU gave 500,000 KRW gift certificates to all staff members.'
'Prince Consort of the 21st Century' is set in a constitutional monarchy in the 21st century and tells the story of a romance between chaebol heiress Sung Hee-ju (played by IU), who is frustrated by her commoner status, and Prince Ian, Lee Wan (played by Byeon Woo-seok), who is sorrowful for not being able to possess anything despite being royalty.
IU is well-known for sending gifts to acquaintances every holiday season. She has previously stated, 'I started when I was young, and now I can't stop. If I meet new people, I write them down in my memo and update the list.'
It appears she extended this tradition by gifting gift certificates to the entire cast and crew of 'Prince Consort of the 21st Century' as Chuseok approached during their filming period.
Netizens have reacted warmly, with comments like 'IU is amazing! Her thoughtfulness towards the staff is so beautiful,' and 'Lucky staff member, I'm jealous!' Others added, 'The drama is highly anticipated, and IU's kind heart is perfect.'
