YouTube channel ‘Lee Min-jung MJ’
Comedian Hwang Je-sung mentioned an anecdote related to actor Lee Min-jung and her wealth during her school years.
On the 9th, the YouTube channel ‘Lee Min-jung MJ’ released a video titled “A trip down memory lane with my only celebrity friend from college, Jesung *Big Sis Min-jung… so they say”. Hwang Je-sung is from the Department of Acting in the College of Arts at Sungkyunkwan University (class of 2001) and is a classmate of Lee Min-jung.
In the video, the two met again at their alma mater, Sungkyunkwan University, for the first time in a while. Hwang elicited laughter, saying, “Like a folktale, nobody believed it when I said we were classmates.” Lee Min-jung explained, “We are going to start a campus tour now. Our campus is high up, so you have to take a bus.”

Hwang said, “We need to start from the top, but you have never walked it, right? As I remember, you did not walk much. Because you were rich,” and joked, “There were the bourgeois families and the rice-straw families. I was rice-straw, so I walked from Hyehwa Station Exit 4. Here, you need to walk with the spirit of Mr. Um Hong-gil to study.”
In response, Lee Min-jung clarified, “That is not it; I often ran late, so I took taxis,” and Hwang quipped, “Even if you were late, professors said nothing because you were pretty.”
A little later, when a bus passed by, Lee Min-jung said, “That bus goes all the way up above our Suseon Hall, so if you missed it, taxi.” Hwang replied, “If I missed it, it was a hike for me, but I took taxis,” and Lee Min-jung explained, “I did it for my grades.”
Meanwhile, Lee Min-jung graduated from Cheongdam Middle School and Hyundai High School, both famous as part of the Gangnam 8 School District. Both schools are known for having many children from conglomerate families enrolled.
