Park Bo-gum "I studied really hard when I was a student"
Korean entertainer Yoo Jae-suk recently opened up about his regrets over dropping out of college.
On the YouTube channel '뜬뜬', during the '핑계고' segment, actors Park Bo-gum and IU, who star in the Netflix original series 'You Have Done Well', made an appearance.
During the episode, Park Bo-gum reflected on his 20s, saying, "Even when I wasn't working, I attended school. My days off were all about school. I think I spent my time very well."

Yoo Jae-suk then revealed that Park Bo-gum was about to graduate from graduate school while filming 'You Have Done Well'. He sighed, "Even Park Bo-gum is getting his master's degree while being busy, but I wasn't even busy back then." Comedian Jo Se-ho tried to comfort him, saying, "Times were different back then," but Yoo Jae-suk admitted, "I wasn't busy when I was a rookie. I repeated my freshman year four times, attending for four years." Jo Se-ho humorously added, "Isn't that great? Everyone wants to go back to their freshman year, and you got to experience it every year. How happy you must have been."

Yoo Jae-suk continued, "Of course, I'm doing what I love now, and that's why I made that choice, but looking back, that's my regret from my 20s. Honestly, I could have gone to school. I could have, but I didn't give it my all. I'm upset that I didn't do my best." He explained, "It's not about having a diploma or not; it's about not giving my best effort, and that bothers me now." He expressed admiration for Park Bo-gum, saying, "Look at Bo-gum. Even as a star, he diligently attended school and did everything."
Despite Jo Se-ho's attempts to console him, Yoo Jae-suk remained unconvinced, leading Jo Se-ho to jokingly retort, "Then why were you so uncommitted?" bringing laughter to the conversation. Jo Se-ho continued to comfort him, saying, "We can't imagine you like that now, but back then, things just weren't working out for you. People need to see some progress to feel motivated."
