MZ representative 'cider' actress Choi Gyu-ri signed an exclusive contract with Darum Entertainment, the agency of Park Minyoung and Seo Bum-june, and became part of the same family.
On the 3rd, Darum Entertainment said, "Actress Choi Gyu-ri is an actress with a quirky, distinctive character, rich expressiveness, a positive mindset and limitless ability," adding, "We are pleased to be with actress Choi Gyu-ri, who has boundless charm and potential and approaches each work with an attitude of endless effort," and "We will spare no support for actress Choi Gyu-ri's growth," it said.
On the 26th of last month, in the first broadcast of the KBS2 miniseries 'Sim Woo-myeon Yeon-ri-ri', in which Choi Gyu-ri, who grabbed attention as Im Bo-mi, promised a fierce performance to upgrade her acting spectrum by joining hands with Darum Entertainment.
Above all, in 'Sim Woo-myeon Yeon-ri-ri', Choi Gyu-ri plays Im Bo-mi, the only daughter of village chief couple Im Joo-hyung (Lee Seo-Hwan) and Nam Hye-seon (Nam Kwon-ah), radiating a "sunshine-like energy" that disarms anyone with her bright disposition and showing a "fluttering presence." In the drama, Im Bo-mi has been a spirited person who has diligently cared for the village since childhood but is a complete novice at dating; when Seong Ji-cheon (Lee Jinwoo), the son of a family who are effectively enemies, appears, she experiences a Romeo-and-Juliet–like tender romance that will be unfolded as a youthful story oscillating between freshness and excitement.
In this regard, Choi Gyu-ri made her first appearance in episodes 1 and 2 as Im Bo-mi, who left a strong first impression when she rode a scooter along the embankment road and, upon meeting Seong Ji-cheon, said, "No phones while walking! You'll get into an accident." Later, Im Bo-mi captures Seong Ji-cheon's heart with her ability to handle farming skillfully inside Yeon-ri-ri's cucumber greenhouse, exerts a bewitching charm that conquers the students' hearts in the school cafeteria, and then energetically completes the cafeteria's cleanup work, scattering positive energy. With spring arriving, expectations rise for the "heart-fluttering dating virus" and vitamin-like performances that Choi Gyu-ri will spread across Korea.
Meanwhile, actress Choi Gyu-ri, who debuted in 2021 through 'Uncle', has continued to make a definite impression by appearing in Behind Every Star, Marry My Husband and the film Love Untangled, among others. In particular, in Marry My Husband, she showed the side of a "no-backtalk new-generation MZ straightforward woman" who launched a bold proposal toward Lee Gikwang, earning the nickname "lovely tough woman," generating buzz.
