At the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards held on the evening of May 5 in Seoul (Korea), in addition to honoring outstanding actors, artists, producers and works, the presence of on-screen couples also attracted the attention of the audience.
The couple Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon of the movie "Lovely Runner" reunited right on Baeksang stage, when they both went up to receive the Most Popular Male/Female Artist award ( voted by the audience).
Meanwhile, Hyeri and Park Bo Gum - the couple in the movie "Reply 1988" - had a quiet reunion behind the scenes, but caused social networks to explode.
On her personal account, Hyeri shared a photo of her check-in with Park Bo Gum at Baeksang's photobooth ( self-taking studio). The two actors pose playfully and have extremely close gestures.
The topic of "a 4-way photo of Bo Gum and Hyeri" even climbed to 6th place on the trend board of the Chinese social network Weibo.
Reply 1988 (Repondition 1988) released in 2015 is one of the works known as national television series in Korea. In particular, the screen couple Duk Sun (Hyeri) and Choi Taek (Park Bo Gum) received a lot of affection from the audience.
However, in real life, Hyeri has a relationship with co-star Ryu Jun Yeol (playing Jung Hwan in " replied 1988), which makes it impossible for the "shipmen" Hyeri and Park Bo Gum to go further.
But last March, when Ryu Jun Yeol revealed his relationship with Han So Hee and broke up with Hyeri after 7 years, fans of the drama once again mentioned Park Bo Gum, pairing the actor with Hyeri.
After many years, Hyeri and Park Bo Gum still maintain a close relationship.
According to Hankook Ilbo, on May 8, Park Bo Gum and actress Kim So Hyun will participate in recording Hyeri's online entertainment program - Hell's Club - to promote the upcoming film called "Good Boy" by JTBC.
This is the first time Park Bo Gum and Hyeri have appeared together on a variety show.
Meanwhile, at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards, Hyeri was nominated for Best New Actress for her role in the movie Victory, and Park Bo Gum was nominated for Best Actor for her role in the drama When Life Is for You, the tangerine.
