According to Korean media, an employee of MBC's "21st Century Grand Prince's Wife" crew shared photos of the film's royal student uniform design on social media.
Although there are no official appearances of the characters, fans are eagerly waiting for the transformation of the two main actors IU and Byeon Woo Seok as students.
There is speculation that actors IU, Byeon Woo Seok and Noh Sang Hyun will portray their characters in high school, instead of letting younger actors replace them.
In particular, because the film sets them as students graduating from "royal schools", the official uniform designs of the characters are expected to be revealed soon.
On the other hand, both Byeon Woo Seok and IU have conquered audiences through their school-themed roles - IU in the movie "When Life Gives You Tangerines" and Byeon Woo Seok in the movie "Lovely Runner".
The two actors have passed the age of 30, but their high school student poses are still popular with audiences.
The collaboration between IU and Byeon Woo Seok and the setting of the film's prestigious school have aroused the curiosity of fans, making "21st Century Grand Prince's Wife" one of the most anticipated films of 2026.
Set in Korea during the monarchy, 21st Century Grand Prince's Wife tells the love story between Sung Hee Joo (IU) - a female heir to a tycoon corporation with everything but civil status, and Lee Wan (Byeon Woo Seok) - a prince with nothing but the identity of a king's son.
According to the revelation, the film script won the MBC drama script writing contest in 2022, praised for its dynamic characters, progressive thinking and attractive romantic plot originating from strong desires.
Since 21st Century Grand Prince's Wife is the first work of both IU and Byeon Woo Seok after their previous hit roles, the pressure is also huge.
