Earlier today, TV Chosun’s “Entertainment in TV” announced that BIGBANG’s Seungri dropped out of Chung Ang University, where he was majoring in theater and acting studies.
According to a representative from Chung Ang University, “Seungri recently visited the campus and withdrew from school. Because of his BIGBANG activities, he could not attend his classes. And as a result, he’s been placed under academic probation several times. He probably made the decision because it was hard to focus on his entertainment and academic career at the same time.”
In 2009, Seungri and Girls’ Generation’s Yuri made headlines for being accepted to Chung Ang University, beating out some tough competition. Back in 2006, Seungri had also withdrawn from high school due to his activities with BIGBANG. However, he passed his GED (General Equivalency Diploma) in 2009, earning him his high school graduation status. Meanwhile, BIGBANG is dominating music charts in Korea and an impact throughout the world with their latest mini album “Alive.”
TV Chosun’s “Entertainment in TV” will air its segment regarding Seungri’s withdrawal from college tonight, March 9, at 9:50PM KST.
Update from YG:
YG Entertainment officials confirmed, "Recently, Seungri withdrew from Chung Ang University. While Seungri still has a strong affection for his school, he had not been able to fully commit to his education because of various BIGBANG and overseas activities. Additionally, because of the upcoming world tour, we realized that Seungri would not be able to attend school. After careful consideration, he decided to leave." Officials added, "Seungri still has a thirst to learn and has enrolled at the Global Cyber University to attend classes online."

Date: 2012-03-09 02:59 pm (UTC)However, I live in Korea right now (Ulsan, near Busan) and I find myself giggling internally each time the bus stops at this Internet High School on the route. I mean I see uniformed kids getting off so obviously they're going to class in person, which kind of defeats the purpose of the name imo haha.

Date: 2012-03-10 10:54 am (UTC)he mentioned 1 or 2 years ago that he and snsd were not on good terms, and I'm assuming it's because he spilled the beans on yuri and taeyang's blind date on strong heart, which caused her to get alot of hate from his fans

Date: 2012-03-09 12:43 pm (UTC)I find it amazing that some celebs even manage to stay in school, even with them not being in classes most of them. I'm surprised some, like Yunho and other idols, were even able to make the minimum attendance requirement or something.
I am now forever in awe of how Lee Seunggi managed to graduate on time without while doing full-on album promotions, variety show gigs, and drama filmings. Time management must've been crazy.
