Actor Kim Tae-ri is on the verge of a mental breakdown.
On the 28th, tvN's new variety show Bang-gwahu Taeri Ssaem released its first teaser, previewing Kim Tae-ri's uphill battle teaching a theater class.
After-School Teacher Taeri is a reality variety show set in a small rural elementary school, following the creation of the only after-school theater club and how the kids and teachers build a stage together. Kim Tae-ri leads the class, with Choi Hyun-wook and Kangnam as assistant teachers and Code Kunst as music director.
In the video, Kim Tae-ri greets the students with excitement: "I'm Teacher Taeri, and starting today I'll be teaching you theater," kicking off a lively first class. But moments later, she holds her head and lets out a deep sigh, showing the harsh reality facing a rookie teacher. As the kids bombard her with unexpected questions and antics, Kim Tae-ri admits, "Being a teacher is really hard," completely flustered — prompting laughs.
The teaser hints at Kim Tae-ri — new to both teaching theater and variety shows — clashing with the kids and growing alongside them. Fans are curious what heartfelt moments and laughs "Teacher Taeri" will create with her love for acting, and what the theater club's final stage will look like with these free-spirited kids.
After-School Teacher Taeri, promising warm laughs and chaotic classroom moments, premieres on February 22 at 7:40 p.m.
