On May 1, PLEDIS Entertainment put SEVENTEEN’s Vernon in the spotlight as he took part in a candid Q&A session with fans on Weverse.
Amidst conversations revolving around trivial subjects such as his movie tastes and informal greetings reminiscent of texting friends, Vernon suddenly disclosed a stunning revelation that reverberated across social media.
Unveiling the Unexpected Admission of Vernon
Vernon, in his usual direct style, admitted, “I never completed middle school,”in response to a fan’s plea for assistance with their thesis paper.

Vernon’s unapologetic honesty was not the only aspect that surprised fans, but also his unexpected admission.
From Dropout to Stardom: The Unconventional Path of Vernon
Vernon’s honesty is not a recent development; he has previously discussed his educational history in SEVENTEEN’s song “Trauma,”where he candidly confesses to leaving school in the 8th grade and facing difficulties with making and maintaining friendships.
Despite taking an unconventional route, Vernon remained determined in pursuing his dreams. He chose to be homeschooled under the guidance of his parents, all while continuing to nurture his passion for K-Pop.
Reflecting on his journey, Vernon revealed on the Mnet show Visiting Tutor that he had been homeschooled by his parents since dropping out of school in 8th grade.
Vernon’s resilience and determination to succeed in the face of challenges are exemplified by this revelation.
Fans’ Admiration and Vernon’s Resilience
Despite his lack of formal education, Vernon’s transparency has always been appreciated by the carats who see it as a testament to his authenticity and perseverance.
Despite moments of humor, such as offering a witty response when advising a fan on exam preparations (“Preferably the former”), Vernon’s authentic character remains evident.
