Jung Woong-in's second daughter, resembling NewJeans, aims for Seoul National University: "Like Shin Dong-yup's daughter"

It has been revealed that Jung Woong-in's second daughter, Jung So-yoon, is focusing on her studies, even cutting off her SNS, with the goal of entering Seoul National University. Having previously drawn attention for her beauty that reminded people of a girl group member, she is now attracting interest with her extraordinary academic goals. While her choice to focus on studies rather than her background as a celebrity family catches the eye, father Jung Woong-in provided laughter by candidly sharing his daughter's goal.

In a video released on the YouTube channel 'Zzanbro Shin Dong-yup' on the 12th, Director Jang Jin and Jung Woong-in appeared to share memories of their time as classmates in the class of '89 at Seoul Institute of the Arts and stories about their families. On this day, Jung Woong-in opened up about the story of living separately from his two daughters and revealed the process of changing their living environment to match the children's school lives.

Jung Woong-in explained that when his second daughter attended Yewon School, she commuted by shuttle bus from Bundang. He said that as the commuting distance became even longer after she entered Seoul Arts High School, she showed signs of struggling. Recalling that time, Jung Woong-in reminisced, "While looking quietly at the moon, she would say, 'Dad, can't I not go?'" The daughter's short remark moved her father's heart.

Ultimately, Jung Woong-in decided to rent a small house in Pyeongchang-dong with his first and second daughters. He explained that the youngest daughter decided to live with her mother because she wanted to enter middle school with her elementary school friends. As the school lives and individual wishes of the three children differed, the family ended up dividing their living spaces. Jung Woong-in's story of adjusting even his lifestyle for his children's education and daily lives offered a glimpse into the everyday concerns of a celebrity family.

On this day, Jung Woong-in also shared news about his eldest daughter. The eldest daughter, who is twenty years old and the same age as Shin Dong-yup, is known to be preparing again after not getting the desired results in last year's entrance exams. As the conversation about university entrance exams continued, it was mentioned that Director Jang Jin's son also entered university, and Jung Woong-in made the scene burst into laughter by joking, "Our kid is attending academies very well." It was a candid reaction that, while mentioning the achievements of other children, emphasized that his daughter is attending academies diligently.

Later, when Shin Ho-cheol asked, "Isn't the second one very famous right now?", attention naturally shifted to Jung So-yoon. Jung So-yoon had previously garnered attention online for her appearance reminiscent of NewJeans. Having drawn public attention solely through her looks, she is receiving further attention as it is reported that she recently cleared her SNS accounts to focus on her studies. It is a choice to step back from an environment where public eyes are focused on her to concentrate on entrance exams.

Regarding his second daughter's studies, Jung Woong-in stated, "I guess she cut everything off for the sake of studying," and added, "Her goal is to go to Seoul National University like Shin Dong-yup's daughter." He added, "That's just how it has to be for Seoul National University," drawing laughter. The explanation is that the daughter has set a specific goal of entering Seoul National University and is focusing on her studies by distancing herself even from SNS. In particular, Jung So-yoon is said to be preparing with the goal of entering the Seoul National University College of Fine Arts, which has drawn more interest.

In an era where SNS and online activities account for a large portion of daily life, the choice to reduce or cut off usage ahead of entrance exams can be accepted as a method to focus on studies. However, as entering Seoul National University is the goal, the actual result depends on the future preparation process. As Jung So-yoon, who has been noticed for her looks since childhood, now gathers interest for her willpower toward academics, eyes are also turning toward her as she moves toward her goals beyond the modifier of being a celebrity's child.

Jung Woong-in married Lee Ji-in in 2006 and has three daughters. The eldest daughter, Se-yoon, made her face known by appearing on the MBC entertainment program 'Dad! Where Are We Going?'. As Jung Woong-in, who has steadily shared stories about the growth and education of his three daughters, has now revealed his second daughter's goal of entering Seoul National University, interest is expected to continue regarding the family's daily life and Jung So-yoon's future steps.
