Choi Jisoo shared the story of how she paid off her student loans, which reached 50 million KRW.
On the 18th, actress Choi Jisoo appeared on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block."
On this day, Choi Jisoo shared, "My college tuition was about 4.5 million KRW per semester," and added, "Because I stayed in college for a long time, my student loans had piled up to nearly 50 million KRW by the time I graduated."
She continued, "From the age of 28, I began receiving messages reminding the repayment," and added, "That's when I thought, 'I need to pay this back quickly.' I felt like I had become a debtor," expressing her honest feelings."
She looked back on the time she worked tirelessly to repay the loans. Choi Jisoo said, "Since I was 20, there's almost no part-time job that I haven't tried," revealing that she worked various jobs including wearing mascot costumes, working at logistics center, factories, restaurants, and kids cafes.
She added, "I practiced my scripts on the subway or bus and worked part-time jobs six days a week. I used the remaining one day to go to auditions," describing the difficult times she went through. She added that she even continued her part-time jobs until just before the filming of 'Undercover Miss Hong.' Her long efforts are now about to pay off. Choi Jisoo revealed, "I will have fully repaid my student loans by this May," and Yoo Jaeseok cheered her on with a round of applause upon hearing this.
