Are all blackpink graduates from junior high school?

Yes, it was revealed online that all members of Blackpink have junior high school education.

Blackpink is the most popular Korean girl group in the country at the moment. However, it was recently revealed on Korean websites that all members of Blackpink have junior high school education. Lisa and Jennie did not even go to high school.

According to this article on the Korean website, the academic qualifications of the four members are introduced in detail. Not only are they all with junior high school education, only Jisoo among the members has attended high school, but he dropped out of school to become a trainee in his second year of high school.

Jennie, who has impressed everyone with her high academic qualifications because she studied abroad, actually went to elementary school in Cheongdam-dong and went to study in New Zealand from the age of 9 to 14, that is, she studied abroad in junior high school. When I returned to South Korea at the age of 14, I became a trainee directly without enrolling in high school.

Rose, who immigrated to Australia at the age of 8, also lived alone in South Korea at the age of 15. Lisa, the only foreigner, passed YG's audition in Thailand in 2010 and started working as a trainee at the age of 14. Therefore, both Lisa and Rose did not attend high school after graduating from junior high school.

This Korean website article also attracted the attention of netizens. Many netizens expressed that they were disillusioned with the image of Blackpink member Bai Fumei and felt that they could not accept their junior high school education.
