Actress Han Hyo Joo revealed that she has graduated from a Buddhist university, despite being Catholic.

On February 28, the YouTube channel DdeunDdeun uploaded a video titled 'Getting Coupons is Just an Excuse,' featuring Han Hyo Joo, Han Ji Min, and Park Bo Young as guests. During the episode, Han Hyo Joo cautiously shared, “I’m not sure if I should say this, but coincidentally, I graduated from Buddhist University on my birthday, February 22.”

Han Ji Min added, “She’s currently attending Buddhist University,” to clarify her comment. Han Hyo Joo explained, “I’m originally Catholic. I did not change my religion. I just wanted to study it a little. It was about a six-month program.”

She further elaborated, “We studied Buddhist theory. Classes were once a week online. There were no exams. It was more like studying the mind. The graduation ceremony is also online. I am planning to buy a bouquet for myself.”

Han Ji Min also commented, “There is a program called the Enlightenment Retreat led by Venerable Pomnyun. I joined it in 2009 because of writer Noh Hee Kyung and recommended it to Hyo Joo. She went further and even attended Buddhist University. It was impressive. She practiced meditation and the 108 prostrations diligently.”
