On May 21, actress Park Eun-bin appeared on the YouTube show MMTG Civilization Express, hosted by JaeJae, where the two stars bonded over their university experiences and surprisingly similar school lives.

During the conversation, JaeJae pointed out that both of them spent their college years in Seoul’s Sinchon area around the same time. Park Eun-bin entered Sogang University in 2011, while JaeJae attended Ewha Womans University as part of the class of 2010.

JaeJae expressed amazement at how Park Eun-bin managed to successfully juggle her studies while continuing her career as a child actress turned full-time star.

“You were actively working as an actress and still only spent six years in college,” JaeJae said. “Meanwhile, I was just drinking and hanging out.”

Park Eun-bin then revealed just how seriously she approached university life.

The actress explained that she only took two years off from school throughout her entire college journey and once completed an intense 42 credits in a single year while handling five different group projects.

“When I worked, I fully took a leave of absence,” she shared. “But when I attended school, I focused only on school. I wanted to finish my credits as quickly as possible, so I always filled my schedule to the maximum.”

Her disciplined approach immediately impressed viewers online, especially considering her demanding acting schedule during that period.

Park Eun-bin also surprised fans by casually revealing that she graduated with excellent grades.

“I don’t remember the exact GPA,” she said, “but I graduated as an honors student.”

The actress additionally opened up about once having what she described as “photographic memory,” explaining that she used to memorize information almost like taking mental snapshots.

“It felt like I was unconsciously capturing things,” she explained. “But at some point, I lost that ability. After that, I just lived more diligently.”

She added with a laugh that by the time she filmed Extraordinary Attorney Woo, the ability had already disappeared.

Another unexpected similarity between Park Eun-bin and JaeJae involved their long history of leadership roles during school.

After JaeJae revealed she had held student leadership positions continuously since sixth grade, Park Eun-bin responded by saying, “Out of 12 school years, I was part of the student leadership for 10 years.”

Fans quickly reacted to the interview by praising Park Eun-bin’s intelligence, work ethic, and humble personality, with many saying the actress seems “perfect in every way.”

Known for acclaimed performances in dramas such as Extraordinary Attorney Woo and The King’s Affection, Park Eun-bin continues to impress not only with her acting skills but also with her academic achievements and disciplined lifestyle behind the scenes.
