Actor Lee Yeon and singer-actor IU prove they are "soulmates" beyond being partners in the drama, bringing warm energy to living room audiences.
Today (the 9th) at 11:10 p.m., the MBC variety program 'Omniscient Interfering View' (hereafter 'Omniscient') will air episode 397, which electrifyingly reveals the on-location accompanying pictorial shoot of Lee Yeon and IU, who are working together as "Secretary Do" and "Representative Seong Hee-ju" in Perfect Crown, the most talked-about drama of the first half of 2026. The two are said to immerse themselves perfectly in their roles and show professional side in front of the camera, but whenever they have a break they tease each other and lead the set's atmosphere in an upbeat way with genuine-friend chemistry.
In particular, Lee Yeon draws attention by boasting an exceptional friendship with IU in this broadcast. Already a "VIP guest" who has visited IU's home four to five times, he expresses special affection by saying, "I want to go to senior Jieun's house right now." Surprisingly, IU has a dedicated set of pajamas and body lotion prepared separately just for Lee Yeon.
Also, it is reported that when Lee Yeon stays over, IU gets up early to prepare brunch herself and even makes tteokguk on holidays, showing thoughtful care for Lee Yeon, which drew admiration from the commentators. Added to this is the heartwarming story of IU's generous gift distributed on the set, which is expected to increase the warmth.
Lee Yeon's golden connections do not stop with IU. He is called a leading "sister collector" in the entertainment industry and is loved by top South Korean actresses such as Kim Hye-soo, Jeon Do-yeon, Kong Hyojin and Park So-dam.
In particular, it is told that when Jeon Do-yeon heard the news of Lee Yeon's appearance on Omniscient, she rejoiced as if it were her own matter, saying, "Isn't that only for famous people?"
Even after a project ends, he keeps in steady contact with senior actors and monopolizes unique affection, prompting curiosity about what the secret of Lee Yeon's charm might be for this broadcast.
