IU’s Steamy Make Out Scene With Byeon Woo Seok Sparks Massive Shock

Perfect Crown has had a rough few weeks.

Between the criticism of IU and Byeon Woo Seok‘s acting, and the ongoing debate over the show’s historical accuracy, it’s been a bumpy ride. But episode 10 just changed the conversation entirely.

Korean Historian Criticizes “Perfect Crown” For Inaccurate Portrayal Of History

The latest episode featured a kiss scene between the two leads that has completely taken over K-Drama spaces on the internet.

After IU’s character confesses her feelings, the two launch into a make-out session so intense that viewers genuinely did not know what to do with themselves.

아니 대군쀼 얘네 옷까지 풀어재끼면서 개 진한 키스 하시는데요………….

Fans went wild over specific details — Byeon Woo Seok’s hands around IU’s waist, the sounds, the smiles between kisses, the clothes coming undone. It was a lot!

Ok.. Dear Gukminies..
Uaena.. TTE… Let me ask you this…
Is it okay to keep this kind of capture appearing in our TL, like nearly non-stop?? Be honest, is this appropriate??

What made it even more chaotic was IU herself. She posted a selfie after filming that showed visibly swollen lips, and fans lost it.

It’s a sharp pivot from the discourse that has surrounded the show recently. Whether the criticism was fair or not, this scene has brought Perfect Crown some serious goodwill — at least for now. People who weren’t even watching the show are suddenly very interested!
