f(x) member Sulli and 4minute member Kwon Sohyun have both decided to forgo college applications this year. 

Born in 1994, both Sulli and Kwon Sohyun have decided to not take their college entrance exams this year. Sulli, who recently wrapped up filming for "To the Beautiful You", will begin preparations for f(x)'s next album along with her members. Kwon Sohyun has also decided to focus on her career. A representative of Cube stated: "The dates for 4minute's next promotions have been set. We are now focusing on the preparations. This is a decision that Sohyun made herself after much deliberation." 

Recently, Suzy from miss A announced that she will not be applying for college. Sulli and Kwon Sohyun have also followed suit, creating a new wave within the entertainment circle and eliminating the stereotype that only those who apply to college can be successful. 4minute's agency revealed: "BTOB's Jung Ilhoon also decided to postpone his studies. The company respects the artists' personal decisions." 

On the other hand, U-Kiss member Dongho is in the middle of studying for the test with Chung-Ang University as his goal. He showed his determination and passion by attending interviews while receiving IV treatments. Krystal, another member of f(x), is reportedly preparing for her college examination as well.

Sounds good to me, lol. The only upside is that Koreans love their noonas. So... Being a noona to almost everyone but like three people in SuJu has it's perks?

...'cept when one of my massive kpop sexual frustrations is Ilhoon and he's nine and a half years younger than I am. -_- It was a happy day when he turned 18, but then I remembered that he's still nine and a half years younger than me and it makes me want to cry lol.

And this post just made me realize all these idols are the same age as my baby sister.

I wonder if EXO's Sehun is taking the college entrance exams. I doubt he will though, 'cause I don't think he even had time to even go to school at all this past year.

I'm glad Dongho decided to further his study. Boy is very smart thus it will be a total disappointment if he decided not to further his study. Sho of Arashi can graduate in Economics degree in the prestigious Keio university while active as an Arashi members and acting in his own TV drama -- so I believe all young celebrities can do that as well as long as they have the will...

I remember Sho had to skip his activities from time to time due to his education.
But I feel Arashi is a much more stable boy band and less workload at that time, which would have prob been the reason why he was able to manage it through.
I read that he was never late and never missed a class.

Yeah, but he studied for 4 years and they still actively releasing singles, albums, and not to mention concerts tours non-stop. How he managed to get through it is beyond me tbh. And to make matter worst, he still have time to act in dramas/SPs as a lead during those times.

I remember watching him talking about it in SCP where he said he basically sleeping while sitting on a toilet bowl during that time. And what makes it even more amazing is that this is an Economic degree we are talking about. K-pop idols most probably take art/business related subjects in university so they should be able to manage between coming to class and their work activities. But still, working and studying at the same time is just crazy imo. Anyone who manage to do that and excel in both deserve a respect from me.. :)

I feel like Dongho has to go to university cause UKiss isn't doing much for him. Suzy and Sulli can afford to not go cause they'll always have their acting to fall back on.
Idk about the Cube kids tho...

U-KISS might not be that active at Korea but their work schedule is pretty insane between flying to Japan and other countries in promoting their albums & themselves. Despite U-KISS not doing much for him, he still have his solo activities to attend to.

And despite ppl said U-KISS didn't really make it, they keep getting more and more recognition at Japan with each of their new releases. Like this year alone, they have released 3 singles (1 more coming next month), 1 full-lengh album & 3 concert/special DVD at Japan alone. :)

your life, future, social status etc. depends on which college you're attending

awwww proud of all of them!!! especially Dongho (duh he's in my group bias) :D

regardless of them being ghost students or whatever, i think it's already great enough that they are considering going to university and going to interviews/exams and stuff. at least they do see that education is important and that whatever they have now will not last forever. having at least a degree is very important nowadays.

and YEAY to UKiss and their members going off to colleges! my, ahem, bias, AJ (who i'm damn worried about because of superstorm Sandy) is already in the prestigious Columbia Uni and Hoon is also doing a degree in theatre :D so go go go Dongho!

...please influence kevin and eli into going to college also please. :P

It's cool that some of them have decided to not go to university at all next year since they wanted to eliminate the stereotype that only those who apply to college can be successful.

I'm also in the 94 line and I've decided to take a gap year but some people in my family are against it since they believe that I wouldn't want to go to university in 2014 >_
