About Kim Ye Rim
Red Velvet's Yeri has been a popular force to reckon with ever since her debut in the industry alongside Red Velvet in 2015. The group had initially debuted a year earlier with only four members; Irene. Joy, Wendy, and Seulgi. Yeri was the fifth addition who joined with the release of their first EP, 'Ice Cream Cake.'
The title song as well as the EP both became extremely popular amongst the masses and helped the group solidify their mark on the Korean music industry. Currently even though members Yeri and Wendy have left their previous agencies, they will still be promoting as a group whenever there is a requirement.
The idol left her previous company only recently when her official contract expired in April 2025.

Hwang Dong Hyuk's involvement in Squid Game USA remake 'groundless'? Creator reveals if he'd answer David Fincher's invite
Squid Game director Hwang Dong Hyuk recently sat down for an interview with My Daily on June 30 at a café in Sogyeok-dong, Seoul. During the conversation, he shared insights on the latest season and addressed fan theories. He also responded to swirling rumors about an upcoming American adaptation. Since its debut in 2021, Squid Game has become a landmark in Korean pop culture history, cementing itself as one of Netflix's most iconic originals. Season 3 concludes the arc of protagonist Seong Gi Hun (played by Lee Jung Jae). It explores the fallout of his choices, the mystery behind the Frontman (Lee Byung Hun), and the grim fate of the survivors entangled in the brutal games. No Season 4 planned Director Hwang made it clear that the series was never meant to be infinite. 'Squid Game was telling a story through one person's journey,' he said. 'With Seong Gi Hun's death, there is no more room for Squid Game to come out.' The statement firmly dismissed any expectations for a fourth season. Cate Blanchett's cameo and American remake One particular scene from Squid Game Season 3 sparked widespread speculation: Cate Blanchett's surprise cameo as a mysterious recruiter using the iconic Ddakji game. Fans interpreted the moment as a potential setup for an American spin-off, especially as it echoed the recruiting style from Season 1. Director Hwang acknowledged the speculation, saying, 'In fact, I thought about an ending where Seong Gi Hun goes to America alive and sees another recruiting. If that had happened, it could have continued, and there was room for that.' However, he clarified that the final edit meant something very different. He explained that while the Korean story concluded with one man's fight against the system, the broader organization behind the games still persists. David Fincher and L.A. production talks Adding fuel to the fire, international outlets reported that a U.S. version of Squid Game was already in pre-production. Filming is allegedly set to begin in Los Angeles this December. Some reports even claimed that acclaimed filmmaker David Fincher would direct the series and that Blanchett would return as a lead. There were even claims that Hwang himself would be involved. Hwang firmly refuted his contribution in the remake. 'It's a completely groundless story. I think it was written based on rumors. I haven't heard it officially either. I know it because I read a lot of articles,' he said. He added, 'I don't know exactly how much of it is true, but they're going to start filming in December, I'm directing, Cate Blanchett is in it, David Fincher is directing... It's all groundless.' From his comments, it seems Hwang hasn't received any official word from the creators behind the US remake. Would Hwang get involved? Maybe Hwang denied having any official involvement. But, he admitted he was intrigued by the idea of an international adaptation, particularly one involving Fincher. 'I just like David Fincher. I've been a huge fan since Seven, so I think it would be fun if they really made it, and I definitely want to see it. If it's really made and I get a request, I can think about it a little seriously,' he said with a laugh.

Watch: Fans Go Wild As South Korea Hosts A Real-Life Squid Game Parade
Last Updated: Squid Game fans in South Korea celebrated the final season with a street rally, featuring iconic symbols from the show, captured in a viral video. Squid Game fever has taken over the world. As the third and final season of Netflix's blockbuster hit show premiered on June 27, fans in South Korea decided to take the excitement around it a notch higher. They organised a full-blown street rally featuring all the quintessential symbols associated with the popular survival drama. A viral video capturing this moment, shared by digital content creator Rana Adil Mushtaq, based in South Korea, has garnered over 1.2 million views, and fans of the show are loving it. It featured a group of people dressed in the iconic pink jumpsuits with masks walking down the street alongside a large motion-sensing female animatronic doll used during the Red Light, Green Light games. Black coffins, where deceased players were laid to rest in the show, were also a part of the rally. As the video continued, some people in the parade were also seen wearing two-coloured jumpsuits, just like the 456 players in Squid Game. Few men were also seen in formal suits, just like Gong Yoo's mysterious character as the Salesman. Other symbols of the show in the parade featured the iconic games like jump rope and mingle. There were large balloons featuring the shapes used in the Dalgona challenge, as well as a big piggy bank filled with 45.6 billion Korean won, just like in the show. The caption atop the video read: 'Pov: You are in South Korea watching Squid Game in real life." Online users took to the comments section to react to the Squid Game-themed parade in South Korea. One said, 'You are lucky, and we cry while watching season 3." Another added, 'Now I want to be in Korea really bad.. Please." A different user wrote, 'Seriously, you are the luckiest person living in Korea and seeing real-life Squid Game." Squid Game 3 finally answered many questions of the fans, but it turned out to be the ending that no one was expecting. Seong Gi Hun, aka Player 456, played by Lee Jung Jae, returned to the deadly games in the second season to end it once and for all. However, he dies by the end of season 3 for the 'greater good." The character's final words on the show were, 'We are not horses. We are humans", which is really important, as it relates to the show's slogan about how low humanity may descend. Besides Jung Jae, the final instalment of the show featured Lee Byung Hun, Wi Ha Joon, Im Siwan, Park Sung Hoon, Kang Ae Shim, Yang Dong Geun, and Chae Gook Hee.
