Goblin 10th Anniversary Teaser Sets July Premiere for tvN Reunion Special

tvN’s 10th anniversary teaser for the drama Goblin has set the immediate shape of the upcoming reunion special, confirming a July 4, 2026 first broadcast for Together, Brilliant Because We Are Together – Goblin 10th Anniversary Trip. The program brings Gong Yoo, Lee Dong-wook, Kim Go-eun, and Yoo In-na back together for a commemorative trip to Gangneung, including filming locations connected to the original series.¹

The special is also tied to tvN’s 20th anniversary programming, positioning the Goblin Reunion as both a drama retrospective and a network milestone feature. Reports on the released highlight video describe the four actors revisiting memories from the production while traveling through places associated with the drama, including the Gangneung and Jumunjin areas.²

Goblin 10th Anniversary Teaser Confirms the Reunion Format

The newly released highlight video, reported on June 11, 2026, follows an earlier first teaser from May 22, 2026. Together, the teasers outline a special built around the four main cast members meeting again and returning to locations that viewers associate with the 2016-2017 drama.³

The May teaser showed Gong Yoo, Lee Dong-wook, Kim Go-eun, and Yoo In-na visiting the Gangneung sea and Jumunjin breakwater after 10 years. It also included elements that recalled scenes and music from the drama, framing the trip around memory rather than a new fictional continuation.³

The follow-up highlight gave a clearer look at the tone of the special. iMBC reported that the video includes the actors’ reunion and a memory trip to Gangneung, where the drama was filmed. Gong Yoo is shown reflecting on the original production, saying it was “the brightest winter” for him, while Yoo In-na says that no matter how much time passes, it feels like returning to that period.¹

Other reports describe emotional moments involving the cast. bnt News reported that Kim Go-eun said, “I think we really had good teamwork,” and added that they were able to endure because they had one another. Yoo In-na is also quoted as saying that Gong Yoo seemed like “all of our Goblin.”²

Cast Returns to Gangneung and Jumunjin

The reunion special focuses on Gong Yoo, Lee Dong-wook, Kim Go-eun, and Yoo In-na, the four actors identified across reports on the teaser and highlight releases. The confirmed setting centers on Gangneung, with Jumunjin also named as a key location revisited by the cast.²

The Fact reported that the special is a tvN 20th anniversary edition marking 10 years since Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, known widely in English-language contexts as Goblin. The report said the four lead actors travel to Gangneung to revisit behind-the-scenes stories and the meaning of the work.⁴

The highlight materials also lean on recognizable visual cues from the original drama. Star News reported that representative images show the cast gathered again with the Gangneung Jumunjin sea in the background. The same report noted props and images recalling the drama, including a red scarf, cake, candle, and buckwheat flower bouquet.⁵

The first teaser also includes short remarks from the actors as they return to the setting. Gong Yoo says, “Let’s have fun today,” while Kim Go-eun says, “It really has been 10 years since coming here.” In another teaser line reported by The Fact, Lee Dong-wook asks whether Goblin has already been 10 years, while Yoo In-na says the location looks almost exactly the same as it did then.³⁴

Original Drama Context and Broadcast Timing

The original drama aired from December 2016 to January 2017. Dong-A.com, carrying a News1 report, noted that the series surpassed 20.5 percent in nationwide paid-household ratings based on Nielsen Korea data during its original run.⁶

That background explains why the 10th anniversary format is being presented as a return to a widely recognized drama rather than a standard variety appearance. The announced special does not introduce a new drama plot in the available reports. Instead, the confirmed materials point to a commemorative program built around the actors, filming locations, behind-the-scenes memories, and the drama’s continued cultural association with winter imagery and specific coastal locations.

The first broadcast is scheduled for July 4, 2026, at 9:10 p.m. on tvN. Multiple June 11 reports state that tvN confirmed the date while releasing the highlight video and representative images for the program.¹²
