Ko Kyung-pyo said, "The 'Reply 1988' members are gathering"… Will Hyeri and Ryu Jun-yeol meet for the first time since their breakup? Interest is growing.
Actor Ko Kyung-pyo has hinted at a reunion with the cast members of the tvN drama 'Reply 1988' (hereafter 'Reply 1988'). Interest is focused on whether Hyeri and Ryu Jun-yeol, who broke up in 2023, will meet again.
Ko Kyung-pyo revealed a vlog searching for soba restaurants on the YouTube channel 'GreenRoom Studio's 'Cheerful Ko Kyung-pyo' on the 20th.
While sharing various stories, Ko Kyung-pyo recalled in the video, "This is the place I came to with (Park) Bogum before," adding, "I don't remember well if it was (An) Jae-hong, (Ryu) Hye-young, or (Lee) Hyeri, but I have memories of being together."
When the production team naturally asked, "Do you still keep in touch?" Ko Kyung-pyo replied, "We are meeting next week," delivering the surprise news. Additionally, Ko Kyung-pyo revealed, "We gather together about once a year, and this time, director Shin Won-ho is also expected to join," which added to the excitement.
As news of Ko Kyung-pyo's recent updates spread, attention naturally turned to Hyeri and Ryu Jun-yeol. The two formed a bond through 'Reply 1988' and started dating publicly in 2017. However, they officially announced their breakup last November.
Amid their breakup process, controversies emerged. Ryu Jun-yeol was embroiled in dating rumors with actress Han So-hee, while Hyeri was embroiled in indirect targeting controversies with a short post on social media saying, 'It's fun.' The incident, dubbed the 'It's fun battle,' garnered significant attention as it led to Ryu Jun-yeol and Han So-hee's breakup just two weeks after their relationship was made public.
Additionally, in April of last year, CJES Studio acquired the Creative Group IEN to which Hyeri belongs, sparking speculation that the two might be 'eating from the same bowl.' However, the Creative side dismissed the rumor, stating, "Hyeri operates as a one-person agency dedicated to advertising, separate from management," asserting that they are not eating from the same bowl, though this also received significant attention.
Amid growing interest in whether the two would reunite after their breakup, the news from Ko Kyung-pyo that the 'Reply 1988' members would be gathering drew attention. Since he hinted that "everyone is coming together," it remains to be seen whether Ryu Jun-yeol and Hyeri will reunite at their first official gathering since their breakup.
