Meaning of Red Velvet Yeri's appearance on 'Applause'

Kim Ye-rim (Red Velvet's Yeri) transformed into a Puppy Walker and filled the home theater with hope.

Kim Ye-rim appeared as the main character Eun-seo in KBS 1TV's youth disability understanding drama 'Applause', which aired on the 18th. Kim Ye-rim vividly portrayed the story of a guide dog for the visually impaired with bright charm.

Eun-chae, who played the role of a puppy walker, made people laugh by secretly carrying out the so-called 'Gal-chae Guide Dog Elimination Project' in order to live with her affectionate puppy, Gak-chae. In addition, the viewers were touched when they burst out in tears as they gave away the 'applause' that eventually passed the test for a guide dog for the visually impaired.

By chance, he reunited with Taeyang (played by Yeo Hoe-hyun), who became a new friend of 'Galchae', and after becoming best friends, they persevered in their pursuit of their dreams together even though they encountered many setbacks. In addition, viewers were impressed by the happy ending where the dream came true.

In order to naturally introduce Puppy Walker, a somewhat unfamiliar volunteer service, Kim Ye-rim visited a guide dog school in advance to receive training. Even during filming, she received comments from guide dog school staff and incorporated them into her acting. He actively led the filming set with a passionate attitude, checking the scene meticulously to ensure that the dog playing Galachae was not uncomfortable.

Not only that, Kim Ye-rim had a meaningful time watching 'Applause' with about 400 students at Shinseo Middle School in Seoul on the 17th. Kim Ye-rim said, "If students see this work and their prejudice against guide dogs disappears and they look at it with warm eyes, I think I will be happy," and showed a good step toward improving youth awareness of disabilities until the end. .
