What college/uni majors do you think the EXO members would have if they didn't become celebrities?

Just for fun!

 

What do you think the EXO members would major in if they went to university and/or college instead of becoming trainees under SM entertainment and why? You can still take into account their current skillsets and realities if you want (for example, Baekhyun was practicing his singing outside his university/college when he was scouted so he would probably have majored in vocal performance, Luhan keeps saying in interviews he wouldn't do anything else except music or soccer, et cetera). OR, you can be as creative as you'd like and choose something completely different from what the boys would actually do, and assign them what you think they would do!

 

For me, in my alternate universe, they're all friends, so keep that in mind (I'm also doing OT12):

 

D.O - culinary arts; saves up enough money to open up a small cafe-bakery, and invites his friends there (bugs Chen to work there as a busboy because he's persuadable like that, also wants Kris and Chanyeol to be waiters in order to "attract the target demographic") 

Kai - professional dance performance, in ballet (D.O somehow has time to attend all his practices)

Baekhyun - drama and theatre performance --> would make his way onto broadway and bug Chanyeol to go see his shows

Suho - physics (lmao idk why), constantly nags Sehun to study with him at the library because he can't study at coffee shops 

Sehun - humanities/social science (lmao), enjoys punk rock, is semi-goth during the autumn/winter season, and drinks starbucks religiously 

Chanyeol - psychology --> would constantly try and analyze Baekhyun's erratic behaviour, makes Baekhyun his thesis project

Xiumin - environmental science (he just gives me that vibe), works part-time at D.O's startup cafe-bakery as a barista

Chen - this is the one im struggling with lmao. but i see chen in archaeology and history for some reason. 

Lay - peace, conflict, and justice studies (this is a major at my school btw), i mean, how can he not

Kris - claims he has a double major in fashion and basketball (he really does major in fashion design, but in reality, basketball isn't even a major; he just spends too much time at the court)

Luhan - english and languages, an aspiring novelist, writes poetry for the weekly newspaper's poetry section 

Tao - double major in philosophy and women and gender studies (lmao)

Sehun would always skip his lessons and play games till morning but still get that A :imstupid:

AHH I love this kind of thread.

 

Kai would be majoring in arts in dance and performance because I think passion would stick no matter what.

 

I think Chanyeol would major in psychology too, but because tbh he is a really attentive person inside imo. He'd be interested in majoring something like that.

 

Suho majored in acting tho so I'll stick with that.

 

As for Kyungsoo I think he'd be in either literature or music. Or maybe both? He gives me the vibe of wanting to learn lit for some reason. :T

 

Idk about the rest. I'll leave it to the fandom's stereotype.

Idk about other member, but for Chen : he will be a college student majoring music if he is not an idol.. before he got SM audition, he tried to enter university (music major), but he failed, and his vocal trainer recommended him to try SM audition, and he got it..

 

Jongdae wants to be :

1. The best singer in the world

2. Vocal trainer

3. kindergaten headmaster

Suho would not go to physics. Even though he is pretty good with it, he said before that he did not really liked math when he was in school. 

 

Actually he got in the Korea National University of Arts in 2009, when he was still a trainee, and was taking the acting major. Beside that, he said if he was to do something that had anything to do with music/acting, he would go take Korean Language/Literature Major and then be a teacher. 

 

About the others, there some that I don't really know, but: 

 

Xiumin: He said he was pretty good at math and really enjoyed it. So, something related to it. (Even though I know he was taking Applied Music at the Catholic Kwandong University recently, but that choice is probably because of him been a idol and wanted to improved himself.)

 

Lay: He always was interest in music, so i'm pretty sure he would still go for it and take a music major. 

 

Baekhyun: He would also go to music major. He always was involved with school activities related to music, been in the school band and join various festivals. And actually before Baekhyun was casted by SM he was getting ready to take the entrance exams to take music major.

 

Chen: Similar to Baekhyun, i'm pretty sure he would take music major too. That's his dream, there's no other way for him. 

 

Kai: would for sure take performing art major. He's passion for it was always there. 

 

~~~

 

Luhan: I'm not quite sure, I know he liked sports but also music. I don't know if he would go for music if he was not a trainee. I can see him going for something more safe, not sure what, maybe something related to his father job.

 

Chanyeol: even though he always liked music and can play some instruments, i'm not so such if he would go and take a music major, mostly because if we was not a trainee, i'm not sure if he would have the same passion he have now for music. Maybe he could keep music as hobby and do some safe major or something like that, but i'm not really sure in what. 

 

~~~

 

D.O., Kris, Tao and Sehun I don't know what they would take....

I agree, kai is great with his words. Even though i know dance is his passion, I think kai would be a philosophy major. He seems to be very introspective and always thinking. He is also very imaginative so writing would be right up his alley.

As for kyungsoo, im not really sure where his interests lie. kyungsoo enjoys singing and i think languages might be an interest for him. He has always loved movies so a film major might also be an option for him

I don't know too much about college majors/minors, so forgive me if any of what I said doesn't exist or I'm too repetitive, but yeah.  :imstupid:

 

This is very long, thus being the reason why I'm spoilering it:

 

 

-Lay would probably go major in something involving dancing or composition. Maybe modern dance. Oh, and considering how hardworking he tends to be, he might either do a double-major in some other music-related thing (I'd say music education), or minor in business.  If he doesn't pursue anything involving music, then maybe teaching? Or psychology? Or philosophy? There are many good choices for Lay imo.

 

-Kai might do something involving writing? Songwriting? Literature? Poetry? From what I can tell, he reads tons of books, has gotten into singing lately, and he a pretty good writer from what I hear. Or maybe just philosophy. Musically, I'd say he'd do a modern dance major.

 

-I feel like Chen would study composition and songwriting tbh, maybe go off to Berklee and study abroad because like Lay, I feel like he's that serious about music (or maybe that's just me wanting to see him in my hometown but   :rlytearpls: ). Music Therapy and Vocal Performance would also be a great choice for a person like him. In the case he doesn't take up a musical study, then perhaps Theology? 

 

 

-Perhaps Baekhyun can major in psychology. I dunno, he seems like the intelligent type and he is also good with social interaction. And he might randomly take up Japanese or Chinese lessons because he wants to learn either one even if it actually doesn't benefit his job  :imstupid: Like Chen, if he does anything musical, Music Therapy, Music Education, and Voice Performance would be great choices for a person like him.

 

 

-I definitely see Suho in acting, and considering that was his major back in Seoul University, it might be his major in his online college right now. Though I see him pursuing a business or Philosophy major

 

 

-Kris will definitely go major in acting, considering that he's always wanted to act since a young age. Perhaps do songwriting as a minor as well. Or maybe French...? (or do Astronomy/Space Sciences as a major because of the galaxy lol)

 

-Luhan will be the soccer leader and superstar on his college team, leading the way to the finals and winning almost every game   :rlytearpls:. And then as for a major, I see him in business? Or nutrition, lol I dunno why but yeah  :imstupid: 

 

 

-So apparently, a martial arts major exists in some colleges, so maybe Tao will take that up. If not, then Psychology or English Lit. Musically, I see him in music education.

 

 

-D.O might go off into culinary arts? Have a minor in English perhaps? Study abroad in NY? And if he does anything musical, then Music Production or Vocal Performance. Ooh, maybe he'll do an acting major or something involving film

 

 

-I don't really have an exact idea why, but I see Sehun in Fashion and Design? Or an acting major. I also see him taking something involving Biomedical Sciences if he doesn't do anything particularly artistic.

 

 

-Okay, for Xiumin​, I know he's in Grad school right now, and I feel like he took business, but I could see him with a history major. Or an Environmental Sciences major. I also see him as the college soccer team captain if Luhan isn't on his team.

 

 

-Chanyeol is a really hard one for me imo, but... musically, probably composing and songwriting, so he can hone his current abilities. Music Therapy also sounds pretty great. Otherwise, graphic design and programming seem like a good fit for him. Or teaching.

 

 

​Lol I had too much fun with this I'm sorry

 

 

he'd be the Writer neighbor who lives next door ????

 

 

I have a feeling about what you're referencing to and it's making me sad   :rlytearpls:
