There, she and her childhood friend and ex-boyfriend, Ji Chang Wook&#x27;s <strong>Cho Yong Pil</strong> (who&#x27;s a weather forecaster at Jeju Island&#x27;s Meteorological Administration), reconnect and rekindle their friendship and romantic relationship.</p><div><br/></div><p>After recovering from the controversy, Cho Sam Dal pursues her photography career in Seoul again. In one of her shoots, the model backs out and they suddenly need a &#x27;top-tier model&#x27; as replacement. Knowing that Kim Tae Hee has just returned from the US that day, Cho Sam Dal&#x27;s ex-boyfriend, magazine editor <strong>Cheon Chung Gi</strong> (Han Eun Seong) suggests they try tapping her for the last-minute shoot. Though hesitant at first, Cho Sam Dal contacts her, but doesn&#x27;t expect her to show up. But she did, and her cameo left many viewers in awe!</p><div><br/></div><p>Kim Tae Hee arrives at the set, wearing a pastel blue coordinated jacket-and-skirt outfit from <strong>Self-Portrait</strong>, paired with <strong>Roger Vivier</strong> heels. For the shoot, she changes into a powdery blue strapless tulle dress with floral accents by Filipino-American fashion designer <strong>Monique Lhuillier</strong> (an outfit that Rosé of BLACKPINK also wore for a Tiffany &amp; Co. photo shoot). Both outfits highlighted Kim Tae Hee&#x27;s timeless beauty, stunning features, and youthful aura. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/cd7a0785-9bf3-486a-900b-849499a82a18_kim tae hee welcome to samdal-ri cameo special appearance 5.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/2a9812ab-cc01-4e39-8e96-9161667841cb_kim tae hee welcome to samdal-ri cameo special appearance 3.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/30332a1a-8515-4123-92ef-a5efa743ff6f_kim tae hee welcome to samdal-ri cameo special appearance 7.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div>        </div><div><br/></div><p>This special appearance is Kim Tae Hee&#x27;s way of showing support for the show&#x27;s scriptwriter, <strong>Kwon Hye Joo</strong>, whom she worked with in the 2020 K-drama <em><strong><a href="https://metro.style/people/celebrities/different-faces-of-motherhood-in-hi-bye-mama/24809" target="_blank">Hi Bye, Mama</a></strong></em><em>. </em>According to the production team of <em>Welcome to Samdal-Ri</em>, Kim Tae Hee wrapped up filming on December 18. </p><div style="margin-left:10px"><br/></div><p><em>Welcome to Samdal-Ri</em> aired its last episode on January 21.
