On October 9, she appeared on the YouTube channel 'One Mic' and reminisced, saying, “I lived in Daejeon because it was a full-time program.” She added, “There were many research institutes and a great environment for seeking advice, which made it easy to focus on my studies.”
Koo Hye-sun reflected on her university life, saying, “I debuted at a young age, so I never had a campus experience. I was so excited when I went to the library that I couldn't even read. I tried everything I wanted, including going on MTs.”
However, her story took an unexpected turn. Koo revealed, “I lived in very poor conditions while attending school,” sparking curiosity.
Her thoughts on living in a goshiwon were surprising. Koo said, “I found the goshiwon style suited me. Cleaning took just a minute, and I could sit at my desk as soon as I woke up.”
Her living conditions were also challenging. She recounted, “I rented an old studio apartment to bring my pets, but when it rained heavily, water would collect on the ceiling.” Despite this, she added, “It was cheap, and I found it rather fun.”
Meanwhile, Koo Hye-sun debuted as a commercial model in 2002. She gained recognition through the MBC sitcom 'Nonstop 5' and received much love as the lead in 'Boys Over Flowers.' In 2011, she entered Sungkyunkwan University to study film and later graduated from KAIST's Graduate School of Future Strategy with a major in Science Journalism, earning a master's degree in engineering.
