Biografia

Kim Tae-ri

She is a graduate of Kyunghee University, which is in Seoul, South Korea, and her major was journalism.
While being considered as one of the most promising actresses in Korea, she knew nothing about acting before her entrance to college. She thought about pursuing art career when she was in high-school; however, shortly after, she found that that was not her calling.
Has three cats. Their names, translated in English, are Owl, Tiger, and Bear.
She has an older brother and was raised by her grandmother when she was a small child.
Used to work a lot of part-time jobs whilst in school. She worked at KFC, a newspaper company, a multiplex, etc.

On making "Little Forest" with director Yim Soon-rye: With Yim Soon-rye, I really felt like I was making a film. Some scenes like friends quarreling were made impromptu, and I did a lot of ad-libbing. At first, it was hard to do something on the spot, but it became fun towards the end.
[on filming with Kim Min-hee the love scenes from Mademoiselle (2016)] I am such a big admirer of Kim Min-hee, and she's an actress I've respected. Coming into those scenes where we needed to be intimate wasn't such a difficult thing for me to do. We became very close quite quickly. There was no discomfort between us.
[on learning Japanese for debut role in Mademoiselle (2016)] It wasn't very difficult for me to deal with the Japanese dialogue that my character had to say. The thing about my character is that her Japanese doesn't have to be so refined as the other characters in the film. Comparatively, I think I got the easy part when it comes to the Japanese dialogue.
[on pressure after massive success from debut role in Mademoiselle (2016)] Honestly, I felt zero pressure for box office success after 'The Handmaiden' because I was aware of my weaknesses and knew that I would need to get help from others. So I was more concerned about developing my characters.
