Kim Soo-jung Takes Stand Amid Protests at Dongduk Women’s University
In a notable development within the discourse surrounding alumni support for Dongduk Women’s University, actress Kim Soo-jung has emerged as the first celebrity to publicly voice her opinion. This comes amid calls for fellow alumni such as Han Hye-jin and others to step forward and express their solidarity.
On her social media account, Kim Soo-jung conveyed her involvement with the petition against the university’s proposed shift to a coeducational system, stating, “There are so many people in the world I just don’t understand.” This declaration has sparked a flurry of reactions online.
Following her post, several netizens directed hostile remarks towards her on Instagram. In a bold move, Kim captured and shared screenshots of derogatory comments directed at her on the platform DC Inside. She responded emphatically, saying, “You think I’d want to attend a coeducational school after seeing guys like you? I really dislike gloomy, inadequate men like you. You’re not even men.”
In the aftermath, Kim’s Instagram has transformed into a supportive community, with many rallying behind her. Comments such as, “As expected from the ‘Correct Answer Girl’, always speaking up with the right words” and “The men swarming here to leave hateful comments are disgusting,” reflect the overwhelming support for her stance.
Continuing her advocacy, Kim Soo-jung shared that she resonates with empowering songs like “Girls Never Die” by tripleS and “Wonder Woman” by SeeYa, Davichi, and T-ara. These songs carry themes of resilience, underpinning her commitment to the cause with powerful lyrics that encourage women to stand proud and unyielding.
Her public stance has also generated significant discussion across her YouTube channel, where previously her videos received minimal engagement. However, a recent upload accumulated over 2,000 comments, creating a dynamic dialogue of support and dissent.
Supporters praised her courage, saying things like, “It’s cool to see you have such conviction,” while critics disparaged her involvement, stating, “Looks like you’re riding the wrong wave.” This illustrates the polarized views surrounding her public support for the protesting students.
The protests at Dongduk Women’s University commenced on November 11th, as students staged a sit-in at the main building and initiated a boycott against classes in response to administrative discussions about transitioning to a coeducational system.
On social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), netizens have called upon other celebrity alumni to join the movement, mentioning names such as Kim Ah-joong, Hello Venus’ Nara, and KARA’s Park Gyuri, urging them to leverage their influence to protect their alma mater.
For context, Kim Soo-jung entered the entertainment sector at the tender age of four as a CF model and expanded her career through her role in KBS2’s drama “My Precious You” . She gained significant fame in 2010 through her participation in KBS2’s variety show “Star Golden Bell” , known as the “Correct Answer Girl.” Subsequently, she attended the School of Performing Arts Seoul but later transitioned to Dongduk Women’s University’s Broadcasting and Entertainment Department, from which she ultimately withdrew.
