Kim So-hyun, SHINee’s Minho: Stars Whose Classmates Went Online To Praise, Not To Accuse
These stars’ kind personality was revealed by their classmates.
Amid constant accusations of school violence, heartwarming stories and good deeds of stars since school days have also been revealed online. In a YouTube video of Kim So-hyun’s performance on MBC’s entertainment program “Radio Star” in 2022, a netizen told a beautiful story in the comments. A, claiming to be Kim So-hyun’s classmate, wrote, “I was in the same class with So-hyun, and she’s such a nice girl. My family was poor, so I had a hard time taking classes, taking lessons while working part-time at a restaurant. I even thought of dropping out as my father lost his job. I was close with So-hyun because our classes often overlapped. She secretly supported me with some of the tuition and lesson fees under the name of a foreign sponsor, which I found out later.”
A added, “Something seemed strange as I kept receiving support. After graduating, I was so grateful to the sponsor so I thought I should at least contact them, but in the process, I found out that the e-mail address of the sponsor was So-hyun’s e-mail address, which made me feel both sorry and grateful.”
“I always wondered why a kid from a well-off family like her was eating only cheap lunch boxes. I was so tearful to hear that she saved her pocket money and didn’t go out to play to save money to support me,” A said. “I was so grateful. I’m so happy that you’re doing well. I wanted to become a friend who is rich to be helpful when you’re in trouble, but I don’t know what to do anymore because I don’t think you’ll need my help as you’re richer. I’m praying for you every day.”
On May 3rd, Kim So-hyun said through her agency Palm Tree Island, “I don’t remember well because it was a long time ago, but it’s very meaningful and grateful to be remembered as a good friend and supportive person to someone.”
Last month, when Song Ha-yoon and Jeon Jong-seo were struggling with allegations of school violence, Minho, a member of the group SHINee, drew attention when his school day story was revealed.
In a post titled “Revealing about SHINee’s Minho” which went viral at the time, author B revealed that he was a high school classmate with Minho, adding, “The school had both men’s and women’s class, and he was handsome and had a good personality. It was right before SHINee’s debut at the time, but he came to school diligently.” “Everyone liked him as he gave people Girls’ Generation signatures and was good at soccer,” he continued, “His face is small, but my eyes, nose, and mouth are distinctive, so he made all the boys around him look like squid.”
Internet user also praised the idol, saying, “I heard that his brother graduated from Seoul National University and had a good personality,” “He was famous because he was handsome and nice.”
