tvN’s upcoming special, Together, Shiningly Divine – Goblin 10th Anniversary Trip (working title), is set to air on July 4. Produced as part of tvN’s 20th anniversary celebration, the program reunites the drama’s beloved cast members, including Gong Yoo, Lee Dong Wook, Kim Go Eun, and Yoo In Na, as they travel to Gangneung to reflect on the unforgettable series that became a global phenomenon.
In a highlight video released on June 11, the four stars shared heartfelt thoughts about the drama that left a lasting impact on their careers and audiences worldwide.
Gong Yoo described Goblin as “the most brilliant winter” of his life, expressing his enduring affection for the series. Yoo In Na also reflected on the drama’s significance, saying that no matter how much time passes, returning to memories of Goblin feels as though those moments have been permanently fixed in her heart.
The cast traveled to Jumunjin in Gangneung, one of the drama’s most iconic filming locations. Despite reuniting a decade later, the actors displayed the same natural chemistry that fans remember from the series. “Even if we don’t see each other for a long time, it always feels the same,” the cast shared. Another member remarked that it felt as though they had only just finished filming the drama’s final scene yesterday.
The reunion special will also showcase the playful dynamic among the four stars. Kim Go Eun jokingly predicted that their first group trip in 10 years would be “complete chaos,” drawing laughter from the others. Although they promised not to embarrass one another, the cast quickly fell back into their familiar bickering and playful teasing. Lee Dong Wook especially amused everyone when he instantly slipped back into his Grim Reaper character after putting on a black hat, jokingly referring to someone as a “missing soul.”
The preview also highlights Kim Go Eun and Yoo In Na teaming up to tease their male co-stars, while Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook struggle to keep up with their mischievous energy.
Beyond the laughter, the reunion special is expected to deliver touching moments as the actors openly discuss the bond they built while filming the beloved drama. Kim Go Eun reflected on their close relationship, saying: “I think we really had great teamwork. We were able to endure because we had each other.” Her heartfelt words moved both the cast and viewers. Yoo In Na also became emotional while speaking to Gong Yoo, telling him: “I think you’re everyone’s Goblin.”
The highlight clip ends with emotional scenes showing Gong Yoo holding back tears before Kim Go Eun breaks down crying, underscoring just how meaningful the drama remains to the cast even after a decade.
Originally airing in 2016, Goblin became one of the most successful Korean dramas of all time. The fantasy romance series made history as the first cable television drama in South Korea to surpass a 20% viewership rating. Starring Gong Yoo, Lee Dong Wook, Kim Go Eun, and Yoo In Na, the drama gained massive international popularity and remains one of the most influential K-dramas of its generation.
With the cast reuniting 10 years later, the anniversary special is expected to offer fans a nostalgic look back at the friendships, memories, and emotional journey that helped make Goblin a cultural phenomenon.
