Article: [Exclusive] Kim Yoo Jung won't be taking the college entrance exam this year... focusing on acting for now

1. [+531, -28] She probably barely has time for high school, of course she won't have time for college. It's better to give that opportunity to someone who needs it.

2. [+530, -46] Meanwhile kids like WG's Sunmi who doesn't even act attending Dongguk University's theater major. What's funny is that she quit WG to get into that school but she's never done any acting and still hasn't graduated. My little brother had time to serve in the army and still graduate. All of the celebrities in the same year as her have graduated already but she's still been attending for 7 years. Does she even attend class anymore?

3. [+339, -19] I remember this time last year Kim Gura's son got a ton of hate for going ã…‹

4. [+45, -23] Her acting's already been recognized without the need for a college diploma so

5. [+35, -16] Yoo Jung and So Hyun could get in with special treatment and no one would think they didn't deserve it

6. [+29, -5] College has no impact on her life at this point. She's already saved up so much money...

7. [+19, -2] A college education is so unnecessary for celebrities compared to other careers..

8. [+14, -4] This should be the norm~ celebrities barely have time to attend class, why take spots from students who actually had to study for it?

9. [+12, -1] I remember Yoo Seung Ho saying the only major he'd be applicable for would be acting and if he went to college for acting, he'd be learning about acting, which he's already learning on the film set, which is why he chose not to go to college...

10. [+11, -3] No need for her to go. She's already reached fame, all she needs to do is transition into adult roles and her career is set.

Tru tho

I mean it's true. For most people, college is a pre-requisite to furthering our careers. She already has her foot in her career so it's pointless to "attend" college just so she can say she is. You can't even say they're doing it to learn because the vast majority of them don't even have time to attend class.

[Vayafish]

Meanwhile celebrities in my country going to college/uni studying either politic, bussiness or law

So many nate commenters here are venting about unfair admissions policies at the celebrities instead of handling it where it belongs. I think that's better handled with the system that created this issue in the first place.

I mean technicall she doesn't need it, but having a college education, even some classes is really beneficial and can enhance you critical thinking skills. I think she should go for it.

Nothing BUT logic from Nate?!😲ðŸ‘ðŸ¼

Oops, I missed one bitter one.

Because getting into college in Korea is insane. Most students spend years having their average day consumed by it. It is pretty normal for students going for college to spend 16 to 18 hours a day at school/supplemental academy classes/homework&study

 

So when celebs who at times don't even attend high school classes, let alone what their grades are jump in front just because they are famous it is a huge slap in the face to regular students. Then when those same celebs continue to work and barely attend the college it is another slap in the face.

[eternal glow]

I kind of agree tbh. If you're going to college then do it properly and actually attend as all other students would. Kim Yoojung is too busy for that and is also an established name so she probably won't have time for it anyway.

uh the comments are not from NB, they're from Nate??? NB is a Knetizen TRANSLATIONS site. She translates Knetizen comments from Korean to English. Knetizens don't go on NB because they don't read English. Why do you keep saying NB commenters when the comments aren't even originally from NB??? This isn't even the first time I've seen you address Knetizen comments from Nate, Naver, etc. as "NB comments."

okay like it was a slip on a throw away comment i made while at work. i don't see why it's that's serious that you had to call it out also there have been plenty of times i have said "knets" too.

 

i can go back and edit it just for you and im well aware that nb is a translation site i think every kpop fan has had the displeasure of going to that blog.
