Perfect Crown is the new K-drama that has every fan waiting for the next episode. It features fan-favorite stars IU and Byeon Woo-seok as a chaebol heiress who is also an illegitimate daughter and the Grand Prince who barely has any power despite being a royal.
And when these two decide to step into a contract marriage, no one except those who truly love them seems to be happy. This means the K-drama isn’t just about how a planned marriage turns into real love, but also focuses on the politics inside and outside of the palace. The story is set in a reimagined Korea where Kings and politicians co-exist.

Grand Prince I-an uses his fan in episode 2 of the K-drama to hide his immediate reaction and regain control of the moment. Instead of responding impulsively to Seong Hui-ju’s unexpected proposal, he creates a subtle barrier between his emotions and the outside world.

Perfect Crown: Why Prince I-an’s fan reaction in episode 2 wasn’t as simple as it looked
In episode 2 of Perfect Crown K-drama, we see Castle Beauty’s CEO, Seong Hui-ju boldly proposing marriage to Grand Prince I-an. The moment was quite unexpected for I-an, as being a Grand Prince, such decisions are highly crucial and intense.
While most viewers focus on the shock value of the proposal, what truly defines the scene is how I-an chooses to answer. He did not respond to Hui-ju with words, but with a quiet and calculated gesture.
He immediately opens his fan and partially covers his face, with only his eyes visible. Now, many viewers might have thought it was just a royal habit or an aesthetic choice often seen in historical-inspired dramas.
But the hidden meaning behind Grand Prince I-an immediately waving a fan after Hui-ju’s proposal was to create a barrier between himself and the situation. And if you think it’s hesitation, think again. I-an actually wanted to take control of it by refusing to let his first reaction be visible.
What makes this scene in Perfect Crown even more interesting is that I-an does not look away. He locked eyes with Hui-ju, suggesting he is in control and that there’s no awkwardness between them. This way, the Grand Prince becomes completely unreadable for the chaebol heiress.
So, if you thought that the fan gesture by I-an was random, you got it all wrong. The Grand Prince used his fan to take an upper hand in the situation and avoid letting Hui-ju see his exact reaction right after the proposal.
