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.

Date: 2012-10-30 04:46 am (UTC)...'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.

Date: 2012-10-30 04:09 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2012-10-30 05:25 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2012-10-30 07:13 am (UTC)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.. :)

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. :)

Date: 2012-10-30 01:28 pm (UTC)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!
