Actress Kim Tae Ri officially began her journey as a teacher on tvN’s new variety show After School Teacher Taeri, and her first class was filled with both excitement and pressure.
On the premiere episode that aired on the 22nd, Kim Tae Ri visited a small elementary school in Mungyeong, where there are only 18 students in total.
She was given the responsibility of creating an after school theater club with 7 students. Walking into the school gym for the first time, she looked both excited and nervous as she prepared to meet her students.
Before greeting the children, Kim Tae Ri decided to perform a short one person play as an introduction.
However, the pressure of leading the class seemed to weigh heavily on her, and she became emotional, even shedding tears. She quickly gathered herself, showing her determination to do her best as their teacher.
Once the class began, she guided the students through different activities, including theater games and setting class rules. Despite successfully finishing the session, Kim Tae Ri later sat quietly, deep in thought, revealing how seriously she takes the role.
The atmosphere shifted when Choi Hyun Wook joined as the assistant teacher. The two showed playful, sibling like chemistry, but they also had different thoughts about how to lead the class. Kim Tae Ri openly shared her 고민 about wanting to create a high quality performance while also making sure the children were simply having fun.
On the second day, the class continued with warm up exercises and an introduction to their stage production, The Wizard of Oz. While things seemed to go smoothly at first, the preview at the end of the episode hinted at tension between Kim Tae Ri and Choi Hyun Wook, raising curiosity about how their teamwork will develop.
With high expectations and new challenges ahead, viewers are now watching closely to see how Kim Tae Ri grows into her role and how her dynamic with Choi Hyun Wook unfolds.
After School Teacher Taeri airs every Sunday at 7:40 PM KST on tvN.
