Twenty-Five Twenty-One star Kim Tae-ri was recently in Milan for luxury brand Prada’s Spring/Summer 2023 Fashion Show.

While posing on the red carpet in a short silver dress, a member of the media and paparazzi team, unsure of who she is, asked the actress if she is from BLACKPINK.

The baby-faced actress officially became an ambassador for Prada last year. She announced via an official video that she will be attending Prada’s Spring-Summer 2022 collection live show in Milan.


Kim Tae-ri's mistaken identity leads to a flurry of memes

One would assume that the talented actress Kim Tae-ri would not go unnoticed having done such diverse work across films and television, notably Mr Sunshine, Twenty-Five Twenty-One, The Handmaiden and Space Sweepers amongst others.

The clip of the media member asking her if she's a BLACKPINK member went viral, leading to a plethora of reactions on the internet.

The Mr Sunshine actress also received tremendous praise from fans present at the event. Fans took to Twitter to share photographs of the actress that they had managed to take on the red carpet, raving about her’s red carpet look.

She wore a Prada designed mini mesh dress embellished with rhinestones, a leather handbag and high-heels that cost $5,900, $3,150, and $1,220, respectively.

Earlier this week, fans of the actress took to Twitter to react to her forgetting her mask as she arrived at the Incheon International Airport to depart for Prada's Fashion Show in Paris.
