The reunion rumors between Ryu Jun-yeol and Hyeri surrounding the Reply 1988 10th anniversary content have been confirmed to be false. Ryu Jun-yeol partially participated in the program but did not attend the group MT shoot and filmed some portions separately, such as the opening.
On the 30th, tvN told OSEN, "Although Ryu Jun-yeol could not join all MT schedules due to his timetable, because it is content commemorating the Reply 1988 10th anniversary, he adjusted his schedule and joined some of the filming," an official confirmation.
Earlier, OSEN exclusively reported in August that a 10th anniversary group MT was led by Eggiscoming, the production company of PD Shin Won-ho. About 15 main cast members accompanied the MT, which departed for a location in Gangwon Province, and Hyeri attended. However, Ryu Jun-yeol did not attend due to the Netflix new project Dilsuji schedule.
Afterwards, one outlet reported "Ryu Jun-yeol participated in the 10th anniversary special recording after adjusting his schedule," raising interest in whether the two met on the broadcast, but it was found that Ryu Jun-yeol only filmed separately for the "opening, etc."
A broadcast official told OSEN, "The main part of this 10th anniversary content is the MT site, and Ryu Jun-yeol participated through individual filming," drawing a line that there was no joint filming with Hyeri.
Reply 1988 first aired in November 2015 and concluded in January 2016, recording a peak viewership rating of 18.8% (Nielsen Korea, paid households), and cementing its status as a national drama. Even after its end, the actors continued meeting regularly, and for the 10th anniversary they once again recalled memories with an MT and special content. The Reply 1988 10th anniversary special is scheduled to air on tvN, with the broadcast date to be determined.
Meanwhile, Hyeri and Ryu Jun-yeol, who formed a relationship through Reply 1988, began a public relationship in 2017 and broke up in 2023. The 10th anniversary project revived reunion rumors about the two, but the confirmation of individual filming participation drew attention.
