Actor Ryu Jun-yeol, who was previously reported to have skipped tvN’s upcoming “Reply 1988” 10th anniversary project, has joined part of the filming, drawing keen attention from fans.
A tvN official said on Thursday that while Ryu could not attend the entire cast retreat due to scheduling conflicts, he still took part in some events to celebrate the series’ milestone. “As it marks the 10th anniversary, he adjusted his schedule to join part of the shoot,” the official said.
Initially, Ryu was expected to sit out the project entirely, but considering the show’s symbolic anniversary, he participated in unit scenes featuring his on-screen family. According to a broadcast source, Ryu reunited with co-stars Ra Mi-ran, Kim Sung-kyun and Ahn Jae-hong for the shoot.
Interest in Ryu’s participation has been high, partly due to his past relationship with actress Hyeri, who co-starred with him in “Reply 1988.” The two publicly dated after the drama but broke up in 2023 after seven years together, prompting speculation about a possible reunion during the shoot.
The “Reply 1988” 10th anniversary special content will be released on tvN.
