Personally, I think this guy here in the picture, Lee Jee Hoon is one of the best actors in Korea these days (although he's currently serving the military for now). He is a proud student of this school and yes if you could study here then you'll get a chance to see him or people "like" him. I know most of my readers are K-Pop fans, so yes there are many students here who are idol-looking or who knows...are also idols.

But of course you're gonna enrol here to study and yeah enjoy kkkk! K Arts has six schools: Drama, Music, Film TV & Multimedia, Dance, Visual Arts and Korean Traditional Arts so if you are interested in these fields and Korea this might be your chance!
