A Reunion of Talents
Kim Tae Ri and Hong Kyung, who share a close professional relationship as colleagues from the same agency, previously teamed up in the captivating SBS drama Revenant which aired last year. Their chemistry is expected to shine through in this new venture.
The Premise of “Necessary for This Star”
This groundbreaking project is notable for being Netflix’s inaugural Korean animated feature. The film presents a unique narrative, centered on the long-distance romance between astronaut Nan Young and musician Jay, whose stories unfold across the vastness of space and Earth.
Kim Tae Ri’s New Challenge

Her transition to voice acting demonstrates her extensive versatility, reinforcing the idea that “Kim Tae Ri defines the genre.” In Necessary for This Star, she will voice the lead character, bringing her unique emotional depth to audiences worldwide.
Exploring Themes of Love and Loss
In this film, directed by Han Ji Won, Kim Tae Ri’s character Nan Young embarks on a Mars exploration mission in 2050. Her journey is not just a scientific endeavor but also a personal one, as she seeks to find clues about her mother, a previous astronaut who mysteriously vanished during an earlier space expedition. Jay, voiced by Hong Kyung, is a musician with a passion for restoring vintage audio equipment. Their destinies intertwine through a nostalgic turntable owned by Nan Young’s mother, creating a touching narrative that explores the power of love transcending both time and space.
Innovative Production Techniques
The production team adopted a distinctive approach to bring the characters to life.
