Go Kyung Pyo confirms Reply 1988 cast reunion

During the episode, Go Kyung Pyo visited a soba noodle restaurant he had frequented in the past. He reminisced about moments shared with fellow Reply 1988 cast members. “I think I came here with Park Bo Gum… maybe Ahn Jae Hong, Ryu Hye Young, or Hyeri. I can’t quite remember,” he said with a smile.


When asked by the production team if he still keeps in touch with the cast, Go responded warmly, “Yes, we’re actually meeting next week.” He stated that while everyone’s schedules are packed these days, the group makes an effort to reunite at least once a year.

“Sometimes we catch up in smaller groups quarterly. This time, even director Shin Won Ho will join us,” Go revealed.
