Actress Lee Min-jung shared her experiences related to college entrance exams.
On the 9th, a video titled "Lee Min-jung's Golden Spoon Story to Flower Boy Casting. I'll tell you everything in Lee Min-jung's Life Explanation Meeting" was posted on her YouTube channel 'Lee Min-jung MJ'.
In the video, Lee Min-jung confessed, "I had to retake the exam because I accidentally filled out 11 answer sheets in my first college entrance exam."
She elaborated, "If my total score was 362, the score I received was 338. I wondered why there was such a big discrepancy. It turned out I had mistakenly filled out the back part of the English section, which I was confident I had only missed one or two questions."
Lee Min-jung, who said she cried a lot after receiving her score, remarked, "The year I spent retaking the exam was the hardest I ever worked in my life."
During her time as a retaker, she studied hard and actually improved her scores, stating, "The 2001 college entrance exam was quite easy, but I scored close to 380 out of 400," which surprised many.
She explained, "At that time, I applied for Hanyang University's special admission and Sungkyunkwan University's first round, and I was accepted immediately into Sungkyunkwan University."
Lee Min-jung, who thought she would take a year off since she was retaking the exam, said her mother asked her, "Are you crazy?" Lee Min-jung confidently replied, "I'm paying for it myself, so I should do it my way," adding, "Because I have never received money from my parents since I started university."
Lee Min-jung, who worked part-time jobs at coffee shops and as an extra, shared, "I only walked by as an extra and earned 300,000 won like that."
Meanwhile, Lee Min-jung married actor Lee Byung-hun in 2013 and welcomed a son in 2015 and a daughter in 2023.
She will meet viewers in the MBC TV drama 'Okay, Let's Get Divorced,' scheduled to air next year.
