[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Actor Kim Min-jae revealed the story of entering university after eight attempts.

On the 24th, the tvN variety show 'You Quiz on the Block' aired a special episode featuring the police, with actor Kim Min-jae, who has played police roles 15 times, as a guest.

During the broadcast, Kim Min-jae said, "I audited classes at several schools, including the Korea National University of Arts (KNUA). I was already very famous even before entering school. I even attended a graduate practical class with eight students. It was a burden, but fortunately, the professor allowed it."

He continued, "I entered KNUA at 28 years old after eight attempts, but I had to earn tuition fees. Since I came late and couldn't be diligent or prepare assignments well, my classmates misunderstood me. Some senior members of the theater troupe even collected pocket money and gave it to me. I graduated with difficulty."

He added, "I went to many other schools as well. Other schools had the highest tuition fees, but KNUA had a good scholarship system. However, I couldn't get a scholarship," which drew laughter.

Then Yoo Jae-suk said, "I also dropped out without graduating from Seoul Institute of the Arts. I had no choice but to go to a broadcasting station, so I kept getting Fs and my grades dropped to zero. Only one professor gave me an A+. I was grateful," he recalled.

Kim Min-jae even remembered the name of the professor Yoo Jae-suk attended. When he said, "I audited classes at several places. I even lived in front of Seoul Institute of the Arts," Yoo Jae-suk joked, "This guy is an auditor," causing laughter.
