Angelina Jolie's son to attend South Korea's Yonsei University

American actress Angelina Jolie's eldest son is set to study biochemistry at Yonsei University in South Korea starting in the fall semester, the school confirmed Tuesday.

The U.S. magazine People has reported that Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 18, chose to attend Yonsei, one of the most prestigious universities in South Korea, although he was also accepted by other colleges. He has been studying Korean language to prepare.

"Mom is dropping him off in August," People quoted a source as saying. "She is very proud. She will miss seeing him as much, but he's ready."

Yonsei University confirmed the report, saying that Maddox passed the entrance exams in early June and will study at the university's Underwood International College.

"There are not many choices for those who would like to learn life science and biotechnology in English in Asia," a university official said. "(He) appears to have chosen Yonsei University as there happens to be such a course at Underwood International College.

In November, Maddox visited Seoul with Jolie, who was on an official trip here as a special envoy for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees.

Wow, I swear it feels like not too long ago when it was in the news about her adopting him and now he’s 18. I’m definitely getting old. And Biochemistry. Nice

"According to several local news outlets, the 18-year-old chose to attend a South Korean college because of his interest in K-pop and Korean culture."

Maddox probably wanted to stay connected to his Asian roots. Good for him, and Biochemistry is a hard major!

Haha I thought so! I thought he must be into the Kpop in some form or another to choose his college there but good for him living his best life! Plus mad respect for choosing such a challenging major to tackle, I hope he sees it through. I love it when kids of celebrities actually does something else other than being an “actor/model/musician/influencer”.

Biochem is (imo) so insanely complicated with an endless list of a million proteins and factors and mechanisms and pathways to memorize, it was the bane of my existence in undergrad lol. Kudos to him for being accepted, its definitely not an easy major
