Actor Kim Yerim — better known to fans as Yeri of Red Velvet — wrapped a packed fan meeting in Seoul, calling the evening a gift shared with her supporters. She debuted in 2015 as a member of Red Velvet, the girl group formed by SM Entertainment. After her contract with SM expired last year, she signed with Blitzway in May. EXO’s Do Kyungsoo, also a former SM artist, left Suseu Company and signed an exclusive contract with Blitzway in November.

Held Saturday the 14th at the Gonggam Center in Jung-gu, Seoul, “ACT 1: YERIM in Seoul & B-day party” marked the opening chapter of Kim’s career as an actress. She had already met international fans in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the Seoul stop delivered equally intimate moments. The event doubled as a birthday celebration, drawing fans from across South Korea and around the world.

Kim opened to roaring applause with a rendition of Baek Yerin’s “lovelovelove.” In the first segment, “YERIM Log+,” she shared never-before-seen photos and candid glimpses of daily life, closing the distance with fans. A filmography quiz followed, during which she recited key lines from projects ranging from her acting debut in Mint Condition to the internationally successful Cheongdam International High School, reflecting on the steady progress of her acting career.

She moved through a mix of performances, including her self-written track “Nothing was easy for a little girl.” During a take on Red Velvet’s “Take it Slow,” Kim surprised attendees by moving into the audience to interact more closely, raising the room’s energy. In a mission segment, she tackled challenges with enthusiasm to hand out gifts to as many fans as possible, underscoring her genuine affection for her supporters. Fans reciprocated with a surprise birthday party; visibly moved, Kim thanked them with a bright smile.

She also debuted an unreleased new song live, which became the night’s highlight. At the end of the show she told the audience, “I am here because of you. Thank you for standing by me for so long; please keep supporting me. I leave here filled with a year’s worth of energy. Thank you for making this a day I’ll remember — I love you,” offering heartfelt thanks.

The warm moments continued after the performance. Kim personally saw off every fan in attendance, handing out roses and small gifts. She and her fans lingered, taking in the final moments together before the night ended.
