Smart Celebrities Who Were Top Students In School
While school is a place to learn, make friends, and develop life skills, the majority of us can agree that it’s more often stressful than not. However, unlike many people, there are the lucky few who thrive in academia and thoroughly enjoy and excel at the art of studying.
Here are seven brainiacs of the Korean entertainment industry who have gotten the highest scores in their grade during their school years!
Nam Ji Hyun
In 2014, Nam Ji Hyun received an early admission to attend Sogang University with a major in psychology and graduated earlier this February. The actress was also a star student growing up, placing first in middle school. In high school, Nam Ji Hyun consistently placed in the top five students despite acting in a variety of projects throughout her childhood.

Kim Tae Hee
When Kim Tae Hee was in middle school, she received perfect scores in every subject for three years straight, easily landing the top spot in her grade. In a previous broadcast of MBC every1’s “Star The Secret,” Kim Tae Hee’s old teacher shared, “Kim Tae Hee’s concentration during class time was so high that she would make the teacher nervous. In the entirety of my career, I haven’t had a student as perfect as Kim Tae Hee.” On top of that, Kim Tae Hee most likely placed in the top 1-1.5 percent in the country when she took her college entrance exam, as she was accepted into the prestigious Seoul National University.

On a broadcast of SBS’s “Heroes,” Yoo In Na showed off her history of placing first during school and receiving perfect scores. She commented, “When I was in elementary school, there was a time I placed No. 1. Until I was in fourth grade, like everyone else, I was pretty good at studying.” Yoo In Na continued, “There was one time when I was the only one in my class to receive all perfect scores. My teacher said ‘Whoever got all perfect scores, stand up’ and I remember being the only person to stand up.”
