Red Velvet Yeri Scours Internet for Fan Artist to Reboot Her YouTube Channel 'Yerimiese'
Red Velvet's Yeri went viral for searching for a fan artist to ask permission to use their 5-year-old drawing for her 'Yerimiese' YouTube channel reboot.
Imagine finding out your favorite idol has been keeping your drawing for over 5 years. Red Velvet's Yeri recently touched hearts globally after launching a public search for a fan artist to help revamp her YouTube channel, Yerimiese.
Red Velvet Yeri YouTube Fan Art Search Goes Viral Online
On January 12, 2026, Yeri took to her Instagram story with a special request. While planning a comeback for her personal YouTube channel, she stumbled upon a piece of fan art she had saved from years ago. "I want to ask permission to use it, but I don't know the account of the fan who drew it," she explained to her millions of followers.
The artwork in question dates back to 2021. Fans, known as ReVeluv, were quick to mobilize. The fact that a top-tier idol-actress had kept a fan's creation for half a decade—and insisted on seeking formal permission before using it—resonated deeply within the K-pop community.
A Heartwarming Reunion and Channel Update
By the end of the day, Yeri confirmed she had successfully contacted the artist. "I found them! We had a heartwarming conversation!" she shared. The YouTube channel Yerimiese now features the fan's artwork, signaling the start of a new era for her digital presence.
