Fans of the iconic K-drama Reply 1988 were in for a nostalgic treat as Hyeri and Park Bo-gum reunited at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards on May 5 — and they didn’t hold back the fan service.
The duo, who played Deok-sun and Choi Taek in the beloved 2016 series, melted hearts once again with a playful heart pose that sparked both joy and speculation online.

Hyeri took to Instagram after the event to share her experience and express gratitude for her nomination. “Attending the Baeksang Arts Awards for ‘Victory’ was an honor in itself. Just being nominated felt incredibly meaningful,” she wrote, alongside a series of photos from the red carpet and ceremony.
Among the photos, one stood out — a snapshot of Park Bo-gum gently forming a heart on Hyeri’s cheek, capturing a candid and affectionate moment that fans immediately linked to their past on-screen chemistry.
While Hyeri did not win the Best New Actress in Film award, her appearance in Victory — where she portrayed Pil-seon, a spirited high schooler chasing her dream of becoming a dancer — has been praised for its infectious energy and vibrant depiction of youth.
