Actress Park Eun Bin is well on her way to becoming one of the undefeatable powerhouse forces of the Korean entertainment industry with her back-to-back striking performances in K-Dramas and movies. But even as she made her mark in such a difficult industry, the actress somehow found time to pursue higher studies.

Recently, the actress appeared as a guest on the popular YouTube show MMTG Civilization Express, hosted by JaeJae, and shared her experience navigating school and university.
JaeJae, who was bonding with Park over their shared experiences during those stages of life, pointed out that Park attended Sogang University in 2011, just a year after she enrolled at Ewha Women’s University in 2010. Expressing her amazement, JaeJae asked the actress how she managed to balance her studies with working full-time as an actress at the time. She also mentioned that Park was able to graduate in just six years despite juggling a thriving acting career.
In response, the actress admitted that she approached her college years very seriously and took only two years off from school to manage her career. She even recalled earning an intense 42 credits in a single year while juggling five group projects. Park Eun Bin explained that while working on a project, she took a full leave of absence, but while attending school, her focus was fully on her studies. Because she wanted to finish her college education as quickly as possible, she would often fill her schedule to the maximum to ensure she had enough time for her studies.
Not only was Park a serious student, but she was also a brilliant one. Though she didn’t recall her exact GPA, the actress mentioned that she graduated as an honors student!
She also mentioned that during her 12 years of schooling, she was part of student leadership for 10 of those years, leaving JaeJae baffled.
Park made an additional baffling revelation about having a photographic memory, which she eventually lost. “After that, I just lived more diligently,” the actress said half-jokingly.
Park Eun Bin’s casual admission of her well-rounded genius has drawn high praise from netizens, who feel she is the perfect example of how far a disciplined life can take one, both academically and artistically.
