Lee Elijah, known for her roles as an actress and singer, is now also a busy graduate student. Her school life and unexpected connection with 'Asia Prince' and 'building owner worth 130 billion won' Jang Keun-suk will be revealed.
On the upcoming episode of MBC's variety show 'The Manager' (Episode 392), airing on the 4th, Lee Elijah's impressive academic background will be highlighted. She entered the Acting Department at Seoul Institute of the Arts as the top student and continued her studies at Korea University's Graduate School of Psychology through the Academic Credit Bank System. Viewers will get a glimpse of her life as a 'real graduate student,' attending evening classes after her schedule and naturally mingling with her peers. The show will also showcase the vibrant atmosphere of the graduate school, filled with passionate working professionals who juggle work during the day and studies at night.
In a meeting with her professor, Lee Elijah's exceptional passion is evident. Despite her busy schedule, she has maintained perfect attendance and impressed her professor with her deep thought process in her first assignment. Her dedication and enthusiasm in every moment have left the commentators in awe, raising expectations for the episode.
The episode will also reveal her meeting with Jang Keun-suk, whom she met through the drama 'Bait.' Both having balanced acting, singing, and academics, their similar paths evoke a sense of 'parallel theory.' Lee Elijah, influenced by Jang's open car, bought one herself, to which Jang humorously remarked, "You'll become me," and added, "The path of a prince is lonely," causing laughter on set.
Their conversation naturally shifts to marriage. Jang Keun-suk expressed his hopes, saying, "Ideal type? Just be healthy," and playfully offered to help with Lee Elijah's dating concerns, suggesting, "Should the Asia Prince's matchmaking agency get to work?" This playful banter raises anticipation for whether Jang's matchmaking can bring a romantic twist to Lee Elijah's busy life.
The unexpected charm of 'brainy beauty' Lee Elijah and her meeting with 'Asia Prince' Jang Keun-suk can be seen on 'The Manager,' airing at 11:05 PM.
