Reply 1988 plans 10th anniversary trip: Ryu Jun Yeol opts out amid concerns of possible clash with ex-lover Hyeri
Reply 1988 cast to reunite, but will Ryu Jun Yeol join? Here's what we know
Egg Is Coming will be helming the plan for the group trip to a certain location in Gangwon-do in October for content on producer Na Young Seok's YouTube, Channel Fullmoon. After learning of the report, they have responded positively, saying that indeed a plan is in progress for the 10th anniversary of the show's release; however, nothing has been finalized so far.
The inevitable question about Ryu Jun Yeol and Hyeri, who dated after first meeting on the show, was discussed widely. After their relationship, which began in 2016 following the airing of the K-drama, ended in November 2023 and was followed by a nasty public exchange of thoughts between Ryu Jun Yeol's new girlfriend, Han So Hee and Hyeri, it seemed unlikely that the two would agree to be in the same space for a long time. In line with the sentiment, the actor who played Kim Jung Hwan in the show will be opting out of the trip.
An official from his agency, UAA, shared with the media that due to the daily ongoing filming of The Rat, the actor is very busy at the moment. As such, it would be difficult for the star to attend the Reply 1988 group MT in October. This has pretty much shut down any speculations of a possible reunion between Ryu Jun Yeol and Hyeri during the trip in October.

Taylor Swift vs. Joe Rogan: Taylor Swift overtakes Trump podcast numbers in 'record time' on boyfriend Travis Kelce's show Taylor Swift 's recent appearance on the 'New Heights' podcast, hosted by NFL brothers Travis and Jason Kelce, has set new benchmarks in podcast viewership and audience engagement. The episode, which aired on Wednesday, quickly outpaced the initial performance of former President Donald Trump's interview with Joe Rogan in terms of concurrent viewers. Swift's two-hour conversation not only featured the announcement of her highly anticipated 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, but also drew unprecedented streaming traffic, temporarily overwhelming the show's live broadcast capabilities. The podcast's success highlights Swift's immense influence, capable of driving record-breaking listenership on both YouTube and Spotify, and underscores her status as one of the most powerful cultural figures today. It also reignites ongoing tensions between Swift and Trump, whose public criticism of the singer has intensified in recent years. Taylor Swift breaks records: Beats Joe Rogan's Trump episode in just one hour According to official streaming statistics, Swift's 'New Heights' episode attracted 1.3 million concurrent viewers during its first hour, far surpassing the 800,000 achieved by Trump's Joe Rogan interview . Despite lasting two hours, the livestream faced significant technical disruptions, crashing on YouTube at the 1-hour and 45-minute mark due to an overwhelming surge of viewers. The stream continued without interruption on Spotify. The episode has already become the most-watched content in the history of the 'New Heights' YouTube channel. Taylor Swift on Reclaiming Her Masters, Wrapping The Eras Tour, and The Life of a Showgirl | NHTV Swift vs. Trump: Early and cumulative numbers While Swift's interview claimed the top spot in first-hour engagement, Trump's appearance still maintains a larger cumulative audience. Within the first 12 hours, Trump's episode reached 11 million views compared to Swift's 9 million. By the 19-hour mark, Swift's numbers had matched Trump's earlier total.

Kangana Ranaut reacts to allegations of ‘going after married men with kids', suggest they were hitting on her: ‘People blame ambitious women'
Fresh off her one-sided online feud with legendary actor Jaya Bachchan, her fellow actor-politician Kangana Ranaut made some more pot-stirring statements. In a recent interview, the actor talked extensively about the relationships and experiences she has had with her male co-stars, and how certain unpleasant incidents forced her to take matters into her own hands. She insisted that as a society, we are still quick to blame young and ambitious woman, while forgiving men for their missteps. While making an appearance on Hauterrfly's YouTube channel, Kangana talked about the struggles she faced during the early days of her career and how she barely escaped the dark side of the film industry. She said, 'Of course I got called for a casting couch. The industry is a dirty and filthy place, and it's very unkind to outsiders. I talked about this very openly and extensively during the 'me too' campaign. Outsiders deal with a lot of exploitation in this place, and that also happens in the parallel industries, like in Lokhandwala. I have gone to these places, I have worked there, and I am lucky that I got a break early in my life. There are so many people who still wander those streets and have lost themselves and their identity.'

'I haven't worked a lot with male actors, because the main concern at the back of my mind was always that heroes are very batameez (rude), and not in a sexually inappropriate way. It's the way they do everything, coming late to sets, belittling female stars and sidelining them during work. Look at the number of cases that were filed against me. They give you smaller vans and make you feel secondary. I suffered through a lot of this behaviour, and there are a lot of female stars who are okay with all of it, but I wasn't. People questioned me about my decision to speak up and not take it lying down, and they called me full of myself,' said Kangana. The actor then addressed allegations levelled against her about 'going after married men' and said that people are quick to blame women. She stated, 'When you are young and ambitious, and a married man with kids hits on you, it's you who are falling for someone in a relationship. It's not the man's fault. People always find a way to blame the women in the situation. Look at the rape victims who get blamed for wearing certain types of clothes or being out late at night. All these are markers of the wrong mentality.' Kangana has been involved in legal battles with Aditya Pancholi and Hrithik Roshan. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Hrithik had said, 'There is no legal case that I directly have with the lady (Kangana), and the reason I cannot have one is because apparently a guy cannot be stalked in India.' Pancholi's wife, Zarina Wahab, has also spoken extensively about the affair.
