Jungkook, Suzy and a series of Korean stars still had great success even though they didn't go to university

Korea can be considered as a country that considers education as a measure of a person's success or failure. The pressure of degrees and university studies seems to cover every citizen's mind. However, despite facing countless mixed reactions from the public, many Kpop idols still choose to give up or postpone the university entrance exam to focus on their careers.

The fact that today's top Kpop rookie - Jang Wonyoung decided not to take the university entrance exam this year to focus on his career, made the problem of idols dropping out of the CSAT once again. Despite being criticized by some netizens, the Korean entertainment industry still records an increasing number of idols who refuse to take the university entrance exam.

However, some idols have proven that university is not the only way to success, such as the following 5 names:

1. IU

"Nation's little sister" IU also did not take the university entrance exam and her career has remained at its peak for many years.

IU debuted in the entertainment industry in 2008 and in 2012 expressed her intention not to take the CSAT. During this time, she began to be recognized by Korean audiences in both acting and singing.

The female singer born in 1993 certainly made the right decision when up to now, IU became the first Korean female soloist to hold a solo concert at Jamsil Stadium with a capacity of 70,000 seats.

2. BoA

The first K-pop star BoA had the opportunity to enter the university when she completed the junior high school exam in August 2002 and the high school exam in April 2003. Despite this, she still skipped the university exam in 2004.

BoA debuted at a very young age - at the age of 13 and immediately became famous. During an entertainment program, when asked if she regrets not going to University, BoA proudly replied:

"I didn't go to university, but I don't regret it. My career has taken up too much of my time. If you don't go to school because of busy promotions, you're just a 'ghost student'. ' never mind."

3. BTS Jungkook

Jungkook decided to postpone the university entrance exam in 2016, the time when BTS began to receive attention from international audiences and so far has been a great success when the group was named the most popular band in the world. .

Despite having to run a global schedule, Jungkook enrolled at the University by distance and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Broadcasting and Entertainment from Global Cyber University. The male idol born in 1997 was also honored to receive the President's Award - the most prestigious award that a student of Global Cyber University can receive.

4. Bae Suzy

"National first love" Suzy decided not to take the CSAT in 2013 because she was not confident that she could balance school and work time. During this time, Suzy is promoting with the group Miss A, and at the same time has to perform many advertising contracts, acting in dramas, etc.

Even when Miss A stops working, Suzy is still a top star with unwavering charm. She is busy with television projects such as While You Were Sleeping, Vagabond, Startup,...

5. Red Velvet Yeri

The youngest member of Red Velvet was born in 1999 and also decided not to take the CSAT exam in 2017.

In addition to a successful career with the group, Yeri made a name for herself in the acting field with her first web drama "Blue Birthday", as well as received many offers to represent major brands.

Discussing the fact that many Korean stars do not participate in this exam, many people think that in the showbiz world, people often think that going to college is not really important. Previously, a representative of a mid-range idol management company once revealed, "At famous art universities, their majors are mainly focused on practical music, singer-songwriter training. and band members, meanwhile, the management company already has a training and education system set up specifically for idols like a vocational school, so we don't feel it's necessary to go to university learn". Besides, the busy schedule and frequent work abroad make it difficult for the artist to go to school.
