T.O.P going to grad school next year? [NEWS]

Posted by on November 15, 2011

In 2008, T.O.P. enrolled at Dankook University with Theater and Film Studies as his major. He is now doing his 8th semester there, which means that he will be graduating in February 2012. According to the staff at the university, "T.O.P is currently seeking for advice about which graduate school to attend. If this plan pushes through, he will be a graduate school freshman next year."

On the 14th, photos of T.O.P having a meal at Dankook's University's cafeteria were posted on the internet. According to the staff, it seems that he was also looking for info about grad school that day.

    I'm also graduated in 2012 and I will do a postgraduate ^o^ please study hard!

  • Sansa

    It's the same in all countries. After college, if you still want to study, you go to graduate school (terms would be Masters, PHD)

  • Sansa

    Lol it's probably because it's free. He's an endorser of the school after all. Of course the school wants to keep him for a long time.

    hi ^u^
    I do not know how it is in your country, but here in Mexico study at college 3 or 4 years, after you graduate, you can study a postgraduate  is more specialized in a subject ^u^ kisses!!

  • http://bigbangupdates.com lolli-TOP

    really? i didn't even know that he attended in a university. T___T
    did they intentionally kept this so that the university won't be flocked by girls? O.o

    well, it's okay. :) VIPs are chic and laidback. :))

    can't imagine him as my classmate, i would simply fail school since i'll be spending my whole day staring at him or savoring the gorgeous view. :)

  • muggledore

    same here in my country =)
    I'm taking up my grad studies now..

  • muggledore

    How can it seem sooo.. easy??..
    How does he jumble EVERYTHING and do GRAD school????

    I'm  even about to go on nervous breakdown trying to balance work, grad school, volunteer work AND fan-girling!!!!...
    *sigh*

  • luvBigBang

    wow grad skool? that's huge!!! I didn't know tabi attended his class..They were busy flying from one continent to another all the time...how he even manage to cover all required  the credit hours and grad by 2012? I'm confused...LOL!

  • Gab

    Top's entry at Dankook has always been known to the public. There's always photos of him at school floating around every now and then. It's always in his profiles. It was never kept secret =p

    WOW grad school..? I hope everything goes well for him his HEALTH more importantly..

    ..anyways i just felt that i need to share this since its for MAMA in support for our boys..

    I just want to tell everyone that when voting you should vote on all the categories for your votes to count..I have been voting nonstop for BB and  2ne1 and i wondered why I was allowed to that only to figure out in the end that I had to vote on all the categories to have my votes counted..so there I hope I'm the only one who made this mistake..

    keep VOTING VIPs and YG fam. supporters!!

  • bingobingo

    poor guy couldnt eve have a lunch in that school how is he gonna graduate did he even go to classes?

  • Missperplexed

    Me too!! :D

  • Gab

    Probably like most celebrities, he doesn't really need to attend classes. I've read somewhere before that Kim Yuna (the skater) just watches video lectures and reads notes and she's only required to attend a few times per year and pass requirements like papers. Maybe it's the same for T.O.P. He also helps in promoting the school so he doesn't even probably have to pay for school fees.

  • http://twitter.com/BigBRocks omg

    He must be really happy :D

  • msbo

    hot and intelligient!!! seem like my type of guy...lol.

  • fywang9

    I wonder what department he'd try to get into for Grad School. Grad school is no joke: not everyone can get in and there are only very few positions. Is it to much to ask for one of the boys to pursue studies at NYU? We've got an awesome theater/arts department in general..

  • vip501

    LOL Now TOP is inspiring us to study XD What has he not done?? 
    This man is just too amazing to be true!

  • Laura Holmes

    Seunghyun, is such an inspiration for others.

    It's 100% possible to graduate, (with honors), without attending that many classes. It's been done before, and people will keep doing it. It's not about attending classes (necessarily), but about understanding the material. If you can do that (at home) and still do well in your exams, you can walk. Some people actually prefer doing it that way, and they excel.

  • http://tshidi.tumblr.com tshidi

    LOL! It's actually quite feasible, and he's right on schedule. *He has a private life that no on reports about too :)* Also, he's probably smarter than most people make him out to be... ;).

  • Pandapanda

    he'll get bald and would left with bone + skin if he do that. haha. xD
    kidding~

  • Pandapanda

    Actually it's not the same everywhere. I'm from Quebec (Canada) and we have a different education system from even the rest of Canada. Elementary school is 6 years (7 if you count kindergarten), high school 5 years (no junior or middle high), 2-3 years college (depending on whether you want to go to university; if so, it's a 2-year pre-universitary program, if not, then it's a 3-year technical program), then university for 3 years minimum.

    I'm like Choi Myunghee a lot of times because I can't get the difference between college and university in the States. There's like, what, universities and universitary colleges and then state colleges and then community colleges GAAAAAH wtf I don't get itttt!

  • http://stormsandsins.livejournal.com/ Storms

    Wow, considering he's always talking about how he didn't like school as a kid lollll must be eating his words now hahaha.

    (I hope he's actually considering going for grad school because he wants to go and not because schools are vying for his attention/sponsorship. ngl it irritates me how schools accept idols just because of their reputation and not for their grades which, let's be honest, must not always shine)

    TOP used to said that his parent always get worried about him in past, every time he saw them, their eyes full of worried. So he promised he will be a good son, don't want his parent worried him again.

    (something like that, I can't fully remember. "Come To Play" he cried after read the letter from his mom, he said that)

    We proud of you, Choi Seunghyun !!!  :)

    A few years down the line...imagine Tabi as an adjunct professor... since his full-time job will be wowing the world with his awesomeness in the creative arts/entertainment industry.

  • Dyanboop11

    planning to get his Master right after his bachelor graduation?
    i think he won't regret in the future, because when he was young he really really a lazy boy (i know it according to variety show i've watched)..
