According to reports on April 1, Kim Tae-ri has been cast as the lead in the official trailer for the 22nd edition of the festival. The project is drawing particular attention as it will be directed by Koo Kyo-hwan, marking a notable collaboration between two distinctive talents in the Korean film industry.
This trailer will mark Kim Tae-ri’s first acting project in approximately 1 year and 4 months, following the conclusion of the tvN drama Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born in November 2024. Fans are already expressing anticipation over what new charm and performance she will bring to the short but impactful format of a festival trailer.
Outside of scripted roles, Kim Tae-ri has remained active through the tvN variety show Curtain Up, Class! , where she leads an elementary school theater club in Mungyeong, North Gyeongsang Province. Her genuine and warm personality on the show has resonated with viewers, offering a healing and heartfelt experience distinct from her on-screen characters.
The Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival has also been gaining renewed momentum after its revival last year following a four-year hiatus. The previous 21st edition drew attention with a trailer directed by filmmaker Um Tae-hwa and starring Kim Go-eun alongside Koo Kyo-hwan—making his transition to director this year even more meaningful.
Festival organizers have kept details about the upcoming trailer tightly under wraps to avoid spoilers, stating that more information will be revealed closer to its release. The 22nd Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival is scheduled to take place from June 18 to June 23, raising expectations for Kim Tae-ri’s return to the screen in a fresh and creative format.
