The staff of the MBC new Friday-Saturday drama 'The Lady of the 21st Century,' in which she stars, posted on their SNS, 'Since it’s Chuseok, we held a lucky draw and won 1 geum (about 3.75g).' The published photo contained 1 geum engraved with 'The Lady of the 21st Century.' Furthermore, the relevant staff shared a photo of a red envelope labeled 'The Lady of the 21st Century' and revealed, 'IU-senpai gave all the staff a 500,000 won (about 5,000 yen) gift certificate,' attracting attention. She has previously given heartfelt gifts to staff, actors, and concert guests she has worked with. IU will make her comeback to the small screen next year in 'The Lady of the 21st Century' alongside Byung Wook. The drama depicts the romance of Song Hee-joo (IU), a woman from a wealthy family who has everything but is of commoner status, and Lee Wan (Byung Wook), the son of a king who possesses nothing and faces a sad fate.
