Emotional Moments Unfold on Kim Tae-ri's First Variety Show 'After School Teacher Tae-ri'

Kim Tae-ri, who debuted as an actress in 2016, brings heartfelt moments in her first fixed variety show 'After School Teacher Tae-ri'.

In the 7th episode of tvN's 'After School Teacher Tae-ri', aired on the 5th, Kim Tae-ri, Choi Hyun-wook, and Kangnam engaged in after-school drama class, yard camping, and watched videos filmed by the children, realizing the significant impact they have made on the kids.

During the 7th session, Choi Hyun-wook skillfully taught the choreography needed for a choir scene, showcasing the effectiveness of repetitive practice. The children followed the dance moves well, and the lyrics 'Let's go with Dorothy' were changed to 'Let's go with friends' based on Dohyun's idea, increasing their participation.

While creating scenes of meeting the Tin Man and the Lion, Dohyun, who played the Tin Man, burst into tears during a break. He was upset for not memorizing his lines despite wanting to do well. The novice teachers comforted Dohyun warmly, and Kim Tae-ri, seeing similarities with herself, reflected on her time as an after-school drama teacher.

In the 8th session, they began creating all the scenes from start to finish. It was revealed that Kyungmo's question 'Until when?' in the question note was because he didn't want the teachers to leave. Additionally, the children created a group chat and practiced their lines over the phone, preparing for their time with the teachers every night. The early sadness of Eunsoo and Hayoon about the upcoming farewell added to the poignancy.

Particularly, Kim Tae-ri, Choi Hyun-wook, and Kangnam witnessed the children pouring out their genuine feelings in tears during camping, realizing the pure hearts and depth of the kids. The children's sincere confessions stirred the hearts of the novice teachers, and watching the children openly express their feelings became a learning moment for the adults.

'After School Teacher Tae-ri' airs every Sunday at 7:40 PM.
