"Youngest successful candidate of the bar exam" Park Ji-won revealed a story from her school days.
On the 28th, the tvN program "You Quiz on the Block" featured Cha Min-a, a nurse working in a Saudi hospital, webtoon artist Um Yu-jin, Park Ji-won who is seeking a new dream after being a lawyer with a high salary, and the couple Kim Jun-young and Sa Gong-hye-ran, who welcomed five quintuplets through natural pregnancy.
Park Ji-won garnered attention for seeking her true dream after being a lawyer with a high salary. She was the youngest to pass the bar exam at the age of 20 and was a study genius who ranked 5th among 500 successful candidates. She never fell below first place in school, entered Seoul National University majoring in business administration, and gained attention for passing the bar exam.
Yoo Jae-suk noted, "I think I saw the article about the youngest successful candidate of the bar exam," and Park Ji-won laughed, saying, "I was 20 at the time, so I think there were many articles since I was the youngest."
Park Ji-won stated, "When I was young, my parents had a clear idea of the life they wanted for me. They said, 'It would be good for my daughter to have this kind of job.' They were convinced that having a profession starting with 'sa' would make my daughter happy." She shared that her father was a university professor and her mother a middle school teacher, both emphasizing the importance of 'sa' professions, initially wanting her to become a doctor. However, they advised her to switch to a liberal arts track since she was not good at math.
She continued, "It was good to study well at school, and I was trapped in the mindset that 'the goal for all students is to go to Seoul National University.' To pave the way for my success, my family set up the house accordingly. There was no TV, and I think they got rid of the TV when I was in middle school. I used to only study, and there was a time when my school was known for not knowing Yoo Jae-suk. I wasn't completely unaware of him, but I had that level of isolation from the outside world," reminiscing about that time.
Park Ji-won said, "I repeated the cycle of school and home, thinking, 'People exist to eat and study.' I thought that was necessary to get into Seoul National University. I constantly studied, improved my grades, and only thought about being number one. I was mostly first place during my school years."
