On December 12, a new video titled *“Two Ways to Watch EXchange”* was uploaded to Hyeri’s YouTube channel. In it, she and actress Park Kyung‑hye sit down over a meal to discuss reactions and viewing habits related to the show.
During their conversation, the production team brought up the difference between MBTI types N (iNtuitive) and S (Sensing). Park Kyung‑hye shared that she observed this difference while working part‑time, especially when friends passionately discussed EXchange.
Kyung‑hye explained how one friend used emotionally charged scenarios from the show to imagine how she would feel in similar situations. An S‑type friend responded bluntly, “I’m not going on the show.” Hyeri then confirmed she is an enthusiastic viewer, admitting, “I actually planned to watch EXchange today—until you made it uninteresting,” jokingly proving her fan status.
As the stories escalated, Hyeri displayed her S‑type bluntness again when she chimed in with comments like “I wouldn’t go” and “But I wouldn’t…”, prompting playful exasperation from Park Kyung‑hye. Known for her MBTI ESTJ, Hyeri’s reactions leaned practical and observant, cutting through emotional speculation with logic and curiosity.
Park Kyung‑hye pressed her, asking if she would ever put herself in the cast’s position or think “If that were me…” to which Hyeri replied matter‑of‑factly, “Absolutely not. I’m not in that situation.”
The conversation then shifted to how different people engage with EXchange. While Park Kyung‑hye explained how some viewers get emotionally swept up in romantic inserts and dramatic moments, Hyeri described her own style as more analytical: “I’m more like a detective watching the situation. I try to figure out why a person made a choice, not imagine my emotions in it.”
This led to a humorous debate about observational versus emotional viewing. Hyeri explained that she enjoys reviewing theories about contestants’ motivations and comparing fan analyses, while Park Kyung‑hye reacted with disbelief at how detached yet focused her approach was.
Meanwhile, Hyeri previously dated actor Ryu Jun‑yeol for about eight years after meeting on Reply 1988. They broke up, and when rumors connected Ryu Jun‑yeol to “transfer love”, some speculation spilled over onto Hyeri. She responded at the time by noting that after their breakup, although they talked, they ultimately did not stay in contact, and she apologized for any hurt caused by the situation.
Recently, to mark the 10th anniversary of Reply 1988, the cast reunited for an MT trip. Due to scheduling conflicts, Ryu Jun‑yeol only appeared in selected scenes, and a full reunion between him and Hyeri didn’t take place.
