Pre-debut photos of ALLDAY PROJECT's Youngseo have triggered speculations of another idol from a "chaebol" family background.
Recently, photos of Youngseo during her elementary school days surfaced online. In the photos, Youngseo boasted adorable bangs over her big and bright eyes and captured fans' hearts with her adorable smile.
Based on the uniform worn by Youngseo, netizens speculated that Youngseo had attended Branksome Hall Asia, a private international school in Jeju Province.
Branksome Hall Asia is the sister institution of the historic education institution Braksome Hall in Canada. Tuition for one year at Branksome Hall Asia costs between 30~40 million KRW (~ $21,000~$29,000 USD). Boarding adds another 20 million KRW for an annual total of 60 million KRW (~ $43,000 USD), while additional expenses including instructional fees, supplies, and more can result in as much as 100 million KRW (~ $71,000 USD) per year. It is a private institution attended by the children of some of South Korea's richest families.
Later, it's known that Youngseo transferred to Kyonggi Elementary School to finish her elementary education. Kyonggi Elementary School is a prestigious private institution located in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul. It is the alma mater of the 'Samsung Group' family including its chairman Lee Jae Yong, and the 'Shinsegye Group' family including its chairman Chung Yoo Kyung and her daughter, Moon Seoyoon a.k.a Annie of ALLDAY PROJECT.
