“One Piece of Kimbap for 30 Minutes!” IU’s Intense Self-Management in ’21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife’ Sparks Buzz

Actor and singer IU’s strict eating habits have been revealed!

Musical actor Son Jun-ho, who starred alongside IU in ’21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife’, recently appeared on the YouTube channel ‘SBS Radio Era O’.

During the appearance, Son Jun-ho shared a surprising story about IU’s eating habits that he witnessed on set.

He recalled, “When it was time to eat, IU was eating kimbap in the dressing room for over 30 minutes. I thought, ‘Wow, she eats more than I expected,’ but when I looked later, the kimbap was almost untouched.” It turns out she had been chewing a single piece of kimbap for 30 minutes!

IU has previously mentioned on another show that she tends to chew her food extensively, even noting that her dentist advised her to stop because it was putting too much strain on her teeth.

Meanwhile, ’21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife’, starring IU, has become the most-watched Korean drama of all time on Disney+.
