Rami Ran and Ahn Jae-hong Reflect on 'Reply 1988' Fame and Reunion in 'High Five'

Rami Ran and Ahn Jae-hong reminisce about their enduring popularity from 'Reply 1988' on 'Salon Drip 2'.

On October 10, actors Rami Ran and Ahn Jae-hong appeared on the YouTube variety show 'Salon Drip 2'. The duo, who first collaborated 11 years ago on the drama 'Reply 1988', reunited for the film 'High Five', showcasing their fantastic chemistry once again.

During the show, Rami Ran revealed that Ahn Jae-hong addresses her with various titles such as mother, sister, teacher, and senior. She humorously questioned, "How am I saved in your phone? Is it as 'Mother'?"

When Jang Do-yeon commented, "I thought I was watching a couple with an age gap," Ahn Jae-hong responded, "Why do I feel like I need to explain? She's saved as 'Rami Ran Sunbae-nim'. That's the name I initially saved."

Ahn Jae-hong shared, "When we first met, it was 'Sunbae-nim', but during 'Reply 1988', it changed to 'Mother'."

Rami Ran added, "I think it's time to stop calling me 'Mother'. We still have a family group chat from 'Reply 1988'. Kim Sung-kyun is called 'Father'."

When asked about reuniting for 'High Five' after a decade, Rami Ran said, "We met for meals and drinks before. When we decided to work together again, everyone said, 'That's great!'"

Meanwhile, Ahn Jae-hong spoke about the global popularity of 'Reply 1988'. He mentioned its success in China and India, saying, "When I went to India, people recognized me as 'Jung Bong'."

Rami Ran shared, "Wherever I go, I'm still called 'Jung Bong's Mom'. During a reward trip to Thailand, the show was airing simultaneously, and it was popular. The mothers from Ssangmun-dong went to a massage shop, and they clearly pronounced 'Jung Bong's Mom'."
