[140224] Minzy enrolls into Baekseok University & attends the Freshman Entrance Ceremony today



On the 24th at 10am, the president of BaekSeok University held a freshman entrance ceremony in Baekseok Hall together with new students, parent teachers, professors, and university staff.


During the entrance ceremony, Baekseok University has a total of 3100 students for year 2014. There’s 220 freshmen majoring in Christian Studies, 270 in Language and Literature, 360 in Social Welfare, 190 in Law & Public Administration, 330 in Mass Communication, 240 in Tourism, 210 in Education, 300 in Information & Communication, 283 in Health Science, 265 in Design & Image, 220 in Fine Arts, 160 in Sports Science, and 52 undecided students.


What caught the attention of many is, among the freshmen who attended the ceremony, 2NE1′s Gong Minzy (20 years old) is entering the college too. In 2009, when she started her activities as a singer, she had to halt her studies but was able to obtain her GED just recently.


After much thoughts whether to enter a Christian university, in 2014, she enrolled in one as a freshman.


The university president promised, “I will cultivate and educate the students’ healthy mind with principles and foundation in order to prepare them carry out their roles in the society as the students go out and pursue their dreams in whatever area (of studies) they’ve chosen.“

Baekseok University is a private Christian institute of higher education located in the city of Cheonan, 90km south of Seoul. Although it wasn’t announced what Minzy will be majoring in, to give you an idea, you can take a look at the various majors that the school offers on their school website here. Examples of the academic divisions in the school include Music, Language & Literature as well as Christian Studies.

No, but the comparison was made with Siwon, who has denounced homosexuality on many occasions. He's against it to the point where a fanboy shouted 'I love you' in an airport and he actually bothered to turn around and say 'NO!'.

>_> just to clarify. You are not generalising Minzy and equating her to Siwon and some of the things he has said, just because they follow the same faith.

Oh my god..

[heartsolid.livejournal.com]

Wow! That was a lot more than I was expecting. I've met people that majored in religious studies but never managed to ask what they planned to do with it because it felt rude lol (+ I knew what that Q felt like)
thanks for that!

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

same tbh i'm just lucky i found a job right after graduation haha

So glad her family always guided her the right way since she was young.
It's so sad seeing some of these kids grow up in the industry with no guidance and poor management that end up costing them down the road.

I'm surprised it took her so long. It's not as if she's been low on free time considering 2ne1's schedule. Same reason I lol'ed when she dropped out and then 2ne1 went on a year long hiatus and didn't do shit.

at least the girl's getting an education

[21banged.livejournal.com]

I'm proud of her for valuing her education and making sure she has a back up when her idol career is over. Girl has a good head on her shoulders <33

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

Good for her!

Wait......SHE'S ONLY 20?!?!?!?

[oppameansit.livejournal.com]

is this a picture of her at orientation? b/c i like this hair a lot more than that messy wig she was wearing in her promo photos.

[jeugd1.livejournal.com]

Remember ppl making fun of her for dropping out of school? Saying she would never get her GED ( even though most idols who dropped out ended up in Universities).

Get your education on Queen Minzy!!

[bamboo.livejournal.com]

Do well, Minzy.

[hellociara.livejournal.com]

So proud of her! Congrats Minzy! I wonder what she is majoring in. I picturing her doing something in either Liberal Arts or Music.
