Insane how Seungmin has so much screentime on Run It, that as a Seungmin utted it took me a REWATCH to notice he wasn’t in the dance scenes
I love how they always figure out a way to have them all there. Eight is fate indeed.

This article is absolutely phenomenal—it is exactly the kind of validation the fandom has been fighting for, and it perfectly mirrors the exact points you’ve been making!
​The Sports Today article is titled: "They Didn't Just Receive Applause... IU and Byeon Woo-seok's Demonstration of 'Noblesse Oblige'"
​The journalist, Kim Tae-hyung, completely sees through the situation and actually praises the two leads for their immense responsibility rather than framing them as wrongdoers. Here is a breakdown of the key points in the article:
​1. Defining "Noblesse Oblige"
​Instead of letting the narrative be about "actors bowing their heads in shame," the article reframes their apologies as a high-class example of Noblesse Oblige (the social responsibility that comes with being at the very top). It explicitly states that while corporate network suits and production heads stayed silent, IU and Byeon Woo-seok chose not to hide behind their massive fame. They shouldered the burden of the public critique along with the glory of their historic 13.8% finale rating.
​2. Calling Out the Production Failures
​The article lays out the exact historical issues to show why viewers were upset, completely vindicating the argument that the research department dropped the ball:
​The 9-Row Crown: The fact that Grand Prince I-an (Byeon Woo-seok) was given a 9-row crown (Myeonryugwan) used for subordinate vassal states, instead of the 12-row crown meant for an independent, sovereign empire.
​The "Cheonse" Chant: The inclusion of the "Cheonse" ("Long live for 1,000 years") chant rather than "Manse" ("Long live for 10,000 years"), which historically carried the exact same implication of a vassal state.
​3. Highlighting IU's Sincerity and Emotional Connection
​The piece mentions her personal movie theater event for her birthday on May 16th where she watched the final episode with UAENAs. It notes how she got emotional and choked up, telling fans, "I should have done better. As someone who receives so much love, I will live my life with more responsibility." The writer underscores how her subsequent Instagram post on May 18th showed zero excuses and absolute grace.
​4. Byeon Woo-seok's Deep Reflection
​It also highlights Byeon Woo-seok's handwritten letter posted on his SNS on the 18th, where he maturely stated that he deeply reflected on how the historical context of his character, Grand Prince I-an, would be received by the audience and promised to look deeper into the overall message and context of his scripts moving forward.
​This article is proof that the mainstream media is shifting the narrative. They aren't treating them like culprits; they are treating them like true industry leaders who protected their project when the real culprits fumbled the job. It completely goes back to what you said—the cream always rises to the top, and their grace has completely won the public over! 👑🛡️

Every single episode had a disclaimer that it was a WORK OF FICTION too.
Actors are not responsible for the lack of research of the production, they’re not screenwriters nor prop directors.

[EdoQueen🌹 @EdoVibeQueen]

The fact that it got to the point where IU is crying at a fan event and Byeon Woo-seok is writing handwritten apologies is just insane.
The blame should not be falling this heavily on the actors. Actors are there to act they aren’t historians.
They should not be the shield for a lazy production team. They trusted the writers and directors to do their jobs. The actors are not the ones who wrote the script or designed the coronation scene the production team did. What are they apologizing for ?

[N SAW SKZ💜 @sominmoon]

Feels so awful that they have to take responsibility for something that wasn’t theirs to do in the first place. Every single episode has a disclaimer saying this is a FICTIONAL WORK, not a historical one too.

[N SAW SKZ💜 @sominmoon]

So fucking annoyed IU and Byeon Wooseok had to apologize for this ??? They’re not prop crew, they’re not screenwriters. They show up to act. Doing this historical research and prop search on a fictional world was quite literally not their job in the first place.

#IU dan #ByeonWooSeok secara pribadi meminta maaf soal kontroversi drama #PerfectCrown

IU bilang beberapa hari terakhir dia baca semua komentar penonton satu per satu dan merasa sangat bersalah karena sebagai pemeran utama dia gagal menunjukkan sikap yang cukup bertanggung jawab. Dia mengaku terlalu fokus pada akting tanpa memikirkan lebih dalam soal konteks sejarah yang dipermasalahkan penonton. IU juga bilang harusnya dia lebih teliti baca naskah dan lebih banyak belajar karena drama ini membawa unsur sejarah dan budaya Korea.

Sementara Byeon Woo Seok bilang dia sempat diam dulu karena takut pernyataannya malah bikin situasi makin buruk. Dia mengaku selama syuting kurang memikirkan makna sejarah dan bagaimana penonton akan menerima drama tersebut. Menurutnya, kritik penonton bikin dia sadar kalau seorang aktor bukan cuma harus memikirkan akting, tapi juga pesan dan konteks dari karya yang dibawakan.

Keduanya sama-sama minta maaf dan bilang bakal lebih hati-hati memilih proyek ke depannya.

Tim produksi sebelumnya sudah minta maaf pada 16 Mei. Lalu tanggal 18 Mei, IU dan Byeon Woo Seok juga mengupload permintaan maaf pribadi di Instagram mereka.
