Actor Kim Tae-ri expressed his feelings about taking on a new challenge through the Netflix animation film 'This Star Needs'.

Kim Tae-ri said at the press preview of the Netflix animated film 『Need for a Star』 held at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University Entrance in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul on the 27th, 'We had fun filming as if we were on the stage with Hong-kyung'

『Necessary for this star』, which will be released on the 30th, is Netflix's first Korean animated film, and it is a romance between Nanyoung, an astronaut who dreams of exploring Seoul and Mars in 2050, and Jay, who has put his dream of becoming a musician, and heading toward dreams and love. It is the work of director Han Ji-won, who won the Seoul IndieAnifest Grand Prize for the short animation 'Kopyruwak' and was invited to leading domestic and international film festivals such as the Sundance Film Festival and the Palm Springs International Film Festival with the short story 'Sea of the Day of Magic'.




Kim Tae-ri played the voice of Nanyoung, an astronaut who studies cutting-edge technology. He "When the offer first came in, it was like a dream. But voice acting is not my specialty, so I was worried a lot"I met with the director and talked to him, and he was persuaded by telling me why he wanted to do this work, and I wanted to try it together. I enjoyed reading the scenario and liked the message the director wanted to convey, so I wondered what kind of picture it would be made when it was made into a movie."

Kim Tae-ri, who challenged not only his voice acting but also his live-action acting, said "It was so much fun. While analyzing the script, I memorized the lines, and I concentrated with (Hong)kyung and filmed as if I were on the stage of the play. I was amazed by the work process itself, and when I looked at the results, I was amazed by the fact that it was made like this. It was a very pleasant challenge for me."
