Kim Taeri makes her first ever regular variety show ... Takes on the challenge of being a theater class teacher with Choi Hyunwook and Kangnam


tvN's 'Curtain Up, Class!' is a new reality variety show that follows the world's one and only after-school theater class at a small village elementary school. Kim Taeri, Choi Hyunwook, and Kangnam have confirmed their appearances, raising expectations for the show.

Kim Taeri takes on a new challenge with her first-ever regular appearance on a variety show since her debut. Having showcased a wide acting spectrum across genres from romance, sci-fi, historical, and even to traditional Korean theater, she is now taking the role of an elementary school theater class teacher. Kim Taeri actually started her acting career in a university theater club, drawing even more attention to her journey as a teacher.

Choi Hyunwook and Kangnam are joining Kim Taeri as assistant teachers. Choi Hyunwook will serve as the class' counselor who listens even to the smallest concerns of the children, while occasionally bringing laughter with his clumsy charm. The addition of Kangnam, who is known for his friendliness, is also highly anticipated. With his unrivaled friendliness, he is set to be the class' mood-maker. The chaotic chemistry between the three first-time teachers and the elementary school students is expected to be the key highlight of the show.

The production team stated, "'Curtain Up, Class!' was inspired by real-life cases where after-school activities helped revive schools on the verge of closing. We ask for your interest and support for this one-of-a-kind theater class led by first-time teachers Kim Taeri, Choi Hyunwook, and Kangnam."

'Curtain Up, Class!' is scheduled to premiere on Sunday, February 22 at 7.40 PM (KST).
