tinggg Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) Kara's Han Seungyeon's experiences in America have been getting a lot of attention lately. Seungyeon told MoneyToday, "I went to study abroad in America in middle school and attended New Jersey's Tenafly High School for a year and a half. I didn't graduate from Tenafly--I wanted to become a singer so I came back to Korea before graduating. What people think about me having great English is not true," she added with a laugh. Tenafly High School is not just a famous school in New Jersey, but all of America. DSP said, "After returning from attending high school in America, she graduated high school in Korea and passed her exams. Last year she entered Kyunghee University, studying acting." Han Seungyeon, along with Kara members Park Gyuri, Koo Hara, Jung Nicole and Kang Jiyoung are garnering a lot of popularity through their 2nd mini album's title song "Pretty Girl." Following the new year's, they will begin promoting their song "Honey." *Note: Original phrase used to describe her was "Um Chin Ddal", short for "Mom's Friend's Daughter," which is a popular phrase used to refer to that perfect student that your parents always compare you to since they get such good grades. Thus it's been translated to "Perfect Student" ***** Link: http://star.moneytoday.co.kr/view/stview.p...1&outlink=1 Tip-Off: Anne Translated by: Tinggg @ KARAholic Take out with full credits.

mae Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 i just remember it was a high school where wealthy kids went lol this was right when KARA debuted somebody said that on the soompi .. but i guess if you live where she lived.. you would know the school? haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the93rd Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I remember watching SGB and wondering why Seungyeon's English was so good. I think she's just being modest, her English is pretty good for only being there for a short while. If I was placed in Korea for two years, I would barely learn anything I want to go to her old high school and look in the yearbook for her picture.

AnnDropsBy Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) Following the new year's, they will begin promoting their song "Honey." ZOMG, YES! FINALLY~ I've been waiting for them to promote their other songs which are all equally AWESOME (: Can't wait. Anyway, no wonder SY's so good at MC-ing! I hope they showcase her acting skills, that'd be so great. I'm spazzing over how they'll promote "Honey" zomgzomgzomgsqueee!
