The variety special "Gurumi Re-Greened Moonlight," commemorating the 10th anniversary of the drama "Gurumi Green Moonlight," left a warm aftertaste by delivering cherished memories.

In the second episode of KBS 2TV's "Gurumi Re-Greened Moonlight," broadcast on the afternoon of the 23rd, moments of genuine friendship and sincere affection between Park Bo-gum, Kim Yoo-jung, Jin Young, Chae Soobin, and Kwak Dong-yeon were featured, offering a touching emotional experience. The "Gurumi Youth Five" revisited memories from the KBS 2TV drama "Gurumi Green Moonlight" (hereinafter "Gurumi") from 10 years ago, shared their true feelings for one another, and made a promise for the next decade. Even over trivial matters, they burst into laughter together, and their heartfelt care for each other brought tears to their eyes, creating a "true friend vibe" that stirred the heartstrings.

First, Park Bo-gum and Jin Young presented a duet performance of "An-gaet-gil," an OST from "Gurumi Green Moonlight" with lyrics and composition by Jin Young himself, as a special gift for the 10th anniversary of "Gurumi." Kim Yoo-jung was moved to tears seeing Park Bo-gum and Jin Young, who participated in arranging the music themselves despite their busy schedules, create such a meaningful stage. Kim Yoo-jung added that she felt deeply touched, saying, "I could feel their sincerity as they prepared and performed this stage for us."

The "Gurumi Youth Five" traveled back 10 years by rewatching together the iconic scenes from "Gurumi Green Moonlight" that they had personally selected. From the scene "It's Lee-young, my name," to "Raon's solo dance," "Byeong-yeon pointing a sword at Lee-young," "Yoon-seong blocking the sword with his hand," and "Ha-yeon's liberating ending," each member shared their chosen iconic moments. Director Kim Sung-yoon, director of photography Kim Si-hyeong, and other staff members who helped complete "Gurumi" appeared in videos, unlocking laughter and memories.

Additionally, special video letters from Lee Jun-hyuk (who played Jang-nae-gwan), Jang Kwang (who played Han Sang-ik), and Kim Seung-soo (who played Lee-young's father) followed, amplifying the joy. The production team unanimously stated, "It seems we endured the difficult filming set by receiving the actors' energy," while Director Kim Sung-yoon expressed pride, saying, "I am so proud and grateful," highlighting how the "Gurumi Youth Five" have grown steadily over the past 10 years to become each other's pillars of support.

Next, the "Gurumi Youth Five" wrote down their love and feelings for one another on sky lanterns, just like in iconic scenes from the drama, and released them into the night sky. The sight of the five making a vow of eternal friendship with the wish, "May we always be friends together," naturally brought smiles to everyone's faces.

Genuine chemistry shone even during a surprise event for Kwak Dong-yeon, who was about to enlist in the military. A cake decorated with a poem written by Kim Yoo-jung and an enlistment gift set drew attention. Park Bo-gum, Kim Yoo-jung, Jin Young, and Chae Soobin conveyed their true feelings through albums filled with photos containing 10 years of precious memories, along with handwritten letters. Kwak Dong-yeon was overwhelmed by his friends' heartfelt sentiments.

Finally, the five donned their filming costumes from 10 years ago and shot a special group poster that did not exist back then, completing a special time travel experience. Even when asked about the meaning of "Gurumi Green Moonlight," the five's sincerity continued. Park Bo-gum answered, "Strength to live a lifetime"; Chae Soobin said, "A gift bundle"; Jin Young replied, "Living memories"; and Kwak Dong-yeon described it as "a summer vacation." Finally, Kim Yoo-jung responded, "'Gurumi Green Moonlight' is Raon. The fact that even after 10 years, it can still be full of joy (Raon) and that we can laugh together is true joy and happiness," eliciting deep emotion.

As Kim Yoo-jung said, "It feels like wrapping up 10 years," "Gurumi Re-Greened Moonlight" delivered a special time by bringing together not only the 10th-year narrative built by the "Gurumi Youth Five" but also the countless people who worked with them and the memories of fans who still remember and love "Gurumi." The friendship of those who vowed for the next 10 years showed that "Gurumi Green Moonlight" remains a memory and connection in the present tense, leaving a profound aftertaste.

"Gurumi Re-Greened Moonlight" is a two-part variety special commemorating the 10th anniversary of the broadcast of "Gurumi Green Moonlight," sincerely and cheerfully capturing the one-night, two-day travelogue of Park Bo-gum, Kim Yoo-jung, Jin Young, Chae Soobin, and Kwak Dong-yeon, who led a massive hit, gathering hot topics.
