The school attended by the parents of the top 1% of celebrities is gaining attention. The fact that Jeon Ji-hyun, the couple Kim Nam-joo and Kim Seung-woo, Hyun-young, and the couple Yujin and Ki-tae-young have children enrolled in the New Songdo City International School (NSCIS), which boasts 'the most expensive tuition in the country,' is once again drawing hot interest.
Recently, the appearance of the daughter of Yujin and Ki-tae-young, Rohui, who is also enrolled in this school, was revealed through a YouTube channel, and once again, the 'New Songdo City International School (NSCIS) lineup' was brought back into the spotlight. The school is located in Songdo International City in Yeonsu District, Incheon, and is a formal branch of the main school based in California, USA, which opened in September 2010. From its inception, it gained a reputation for its rigorous American-style curriculum and global educational environment, and it now stands as an educational institution symbolizing 'the best international school in the country.'
What draws attention is indeed the staggering tuition fees. To complete the entire process from kindergarten to high school graduation, the total tuition amounts to about 600 million won. This is a level that is hard to compare with any other school in the country. Additionally, the teaching methods include a latest digital education system centered around electronic devices, small class sizes, an English immersion environment, and programs linked to U.S. college admissions, contributing to high satisfaction among parents.
However, the entry barriers to this school are anything but low. The admission competition is as high as 100 to 1. This is not a school that anyone can simply enter just because they have money. Prospective students are selected through a comprehensive assessment that includes solid pre-education, English proficiency, and the educational plans of the parents.
The profiles of the celebrities sending their children to this school are also exceptional. Top actress Jeon Ji-hyun, well-known broadcaster Hyun-young, the charming couple Kim Nam-joo and Kim Seung-woo, and Rohui, the daughter of Yujin and Ki-tae-young, who was recently captured on her way to school through a YouTube channel, all draw further attention as they reveal the school they have chosen.
In particular, Rohui, the daughter of Yujin and Ki-tae-young, gained attention as a language prodigy with an IQ of 127 for her appearance alongside her father Ki-tae-young on KBS2's 'The Return of Superman.' Her articulate speaking skills and quick comprehension that astonished viewers from a young age being enrolled in this school is interpreted as a perfect match for a premium educational environment and 'gifted child.'
Netizens are reacting with astonishment, saying, 'Those parents are indeed in a different class,' '600 million won tuition is not a waste,' 'even celebrity children are in the education war,' and 'if the admission competition in Songdo is 100 to 1, it's truly an elite school.'
