Actors Park Bo-gum, Kim Yoo-jung, Jin Young, Chae Soobin, and Kwak Dong-yeon showcased their enduring friendship even after 10 years.

On the 14th, Elle Korea's official channel released a video titled 'Gurmi = Youth. Even after 10 years, we're still official—please remember us' under the series 'Chemistry Workshop.' The video featured Park Bo-gum, Kim Yoo-jung, Jin Young, Chae Soobin, and Kwak Dong-yeon, who collaborated in the KBS 2TV drama 'Gurmi: Green Moon.'

That day, Park Bo-gum greeted viewers with, "Dear Elle subscribers, we've returned after 10 years with 'Gurmi: Green Moon,'" warmly introducing himself alongside the other members. Ahead of the drama's 10th anniversary, all five also participated in a joint Elle photoshoot.

The production team asked, "Is the chemistry of the 'Gur-Gu-Dal' team still intact? What score would you give their 10-year friendship?" Kwak Dong-yeon gave 20 points, Chae Soobin awarded 1,000 points, Park Bo-gum gave 99 points, Kim Yoo-jung wrote 9,999 points, and Jin Young marked 'infinity,' sparking laughter.

Explaining his 99-point rating, Park Bo-gum said, "It's 99 out of 100. Only when all the staff members who worked with us gather together will the full 100 points be achieved."

The production team then asked, "Now that 10 years have passed, do you feel any differences between how you were when you first met on set and now?"

Jin Young replied simply, "We're exactly the same." Kim Yoo-jung added, "Don't you ever feel like when you meet friends after a long time, it's as if you've returned to those school days? Although we've clearly grown since then, I think our pure hearts from back then still feel similar."

Park Bo-gum recalled toward Kwak Dong-yeon, "Back then, (Kwak) Dong-yeon really liked me and called me 'Hyung Bo-beom.'" Kwak Dong-yeon retorted, "You used to be someone who couldn't say things like that, Hyung (Park Bo-gum), but now you're saying everything." Jin Young added with a laugh, "You've aged quite a bit."

The production team then brought up sightings of the 'Gur-Gu-Dal' team playing land-grab games and visiting escape rooms on social media. While the members expressed no memory of the escape room visit, Park Bo-gum corrected, "I don't think we've ever done an escape room. It's a rumor, a rumor."

However, the Han River land-grab game sighting was true. At the time, some members reportedly couldn't join due to scheduling conflicts. When asked how Chae Soobin learned about this fact, the production team explained it came from social media sightings.

Kim Yoo-jung recalled, "We really did play land-grab games like children." Chae Soobin added, "We ran around playing just like elementary school students." Park Bo-gum explained that there was actually a space set up at the Han River where such games could be played.

Meanwhile, Park Bo-gum, Kim Yoo-jung, Jin Young, Chae Soobin, and Kwak Dong-yeon first connected through the KBS 2TV drama 'Gurmi: Green Moon,' which aired in 2016. Even after the series ended, they maintained their close friendship and displayed the same chemistry during this complete reunion after 10 years.
