TV Show Digest

Red Velvet is a K-pop girl group that has won great acclaim throughout its career and is overwhelmingly popular among Korean and international audiences both. Yeri is the sub vocalist, sub rapper, and “maknae” (youngest member) of Red Velvet. Debuting with Red Velvet at sixteen, Yeri has won over numerous fans with her myriad talents and sweet personality. Yeri_Me is a series of vlogs taken by Yeri that show her going about her daily life, away from the glitz and glamour of her idol persona. The vlogs were uploaded on the monotube Youtube channel and are easily accessible, to the tremendous joy of Red Velvet fans. The videos exude a calm and relaxing aura and showcase Yeri’s adorable and relatable character. It is a treat for Yeri fans and shows her going on vacation and getting time to heal and rejuvenate herself from her stressful life as a celebrity.

 The Feel-Good Part

Yeri travels to different places and vlogs herself for her fans. This series lets us see a genuine and unfiltered version of herself separate from her hectic schedule as a K-pop idol. Yeri’s vlogs convey just how human and ordinary stars are and help us sympathize with them and the hard work they put in for fans. Yeri creates a happy and comfortable atmosphere in her videos- watching them almost feels like conversing with a close friend. Yeri entertains her fans even as she shows her true self and goes through otherwise mundane activities. Her charming personality and contagious laugh make the audience fall in love with her and understand her more as a person. The vlogs are short and make for a refreshingly light watch that brings happiness and comfort to Red Velvet fans.

 The Disappointing Factor

This show is a vlog made by Yeri from Red Velvet. As a result, its target audience is K-pop fans in general and Red Velvet fans in particular. Therefore, the casual viewer might find themselves disinterested in the videos. Yeri filmed these vlogs for her fans who desired to know more about her and her life, and thus this series is the most enjoyable to hardcore fans of Red Velvet and Yeri. The vlogs are also shot in a very casual and amateurish way, which might not be palatable for people who enjoy professionally made vlogs.

 In-Depth Analysis

This series is a fascinating glimpse into the life of celebrities. Red Velvet’s Yeri takes us on a relaxing journey that lets her unwind from her busy life and allows fans to spend more time with their beloved idol.

 Star Power

Yeri shines as her raw self in the vlogs, displaying her undeniable charm and charisma that allures the audience. Her humble and down-to-earth nature makes her immensely likable, and her chats with the viewers are incredibly mesmerizing. Her quality as a professional K-drama actress is also apparent in her professionalism and attitude.

 Overall Opinion

Yeri_Me is a must-watch for any fan of Red Velvet. It lets us see a different side of our favorite K-pop idols beyond their perfectly polished on-stage images. It helps fans understand K-pop idols better and makes them feel closer to them.
