Choi Jung-won celebrates long-awaited college graduation

Korean actress Choi Jung-won received her college diploma on Friday, graduating 10 years after having entered Dongguk University in Seoul.

"I feel like I have become a real member of society," the actress said, sporting her graduation cap and a big smile. "I am very happy because I'm graduating after ten years. I was the last to graduate in my class and my parents couldn't be happier."

Choi, 28, debuted in 2001 in the KBS2 TV series "Cool" and has since appeared in many dramas including "All In" (SBS, 2003), "Famous Princesses" (KBS2, 2006) and "The Kingdom of the Winds" (KBS2, 2008).

She currently stars in the Monday and Tuesday evening drama "Wish Upon A Star" as a cheerful, hard-working young woman raising five adopted siblings after the sudden death of her parents.

Actors Park Jae-jung and Park Ha-sun also graduated from Dongguk on Friday.
