IU and Byeon Woo Seok stunned with heart-racing visuals as a duo.

On the 13th, Disney+ dropped a set of glamorous visual portraits of IU and Byeon Woo Seok, who are currently starring in MBC’s Friday–Saturday drama Perfect Crown (glam-style portraits that spotlight their visuals).

The newly released couple shots capture everything from Byeon Woo Seok gently cupping IU’s cheek to the pair gazing at each other with longing, cranking up anticipation for the romance they’ll unfold on screen. In the solo cuts, they radiate the poise and elegance of a real royal couple.

As soon as the pictorial went live, online communities and social media reacted wildly: "Their visuals together are breathtaking," "I subscribed to Disney+ just for them," "Total eye cleanser—my Monday blues are gone," and "They’re basically a Disney prince and princess."

After a successful premiere on the 10th, Perfect Crown scored 10.1% in the Seoul metropolitan area and 9.5% nationwide for episode 2, according to Nielsen Korea—soaring to No. 1 in its time slot.

Perfect Crown airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m. KST on MBC and is also available on Wavve and Disney+.
