Lee Seo-yeon Shares Ewha Womans University Graduation-Cap Photos With One Semester Left

Actress Lee Seo-yeon has released photos taken on the Ewha Womans University campus with only one semester left until her university graduation. The update shows her continuing her studies even after gaining recognition for playing Cha Jeong-suk's daughter, Seo Yi-rang, in the JTBC drama 'Doctor Cha', was shared via SNS.

Graduation cap photo posted on SNS on June 11

On the 11th, Lee Seo-yeon posted snapshot photos taken on the Ewha Womans University campus to her SNS, writing, "Taking snapshots without anyone knowing. Only one semester left." In the photos, she stands before the camera wearing a graduation cap and gown while holding flowers.

Rather than being from an official graduation ceremony, the photos are closer to a record left by a student ahead of graduation. Lee Seo-yeon is known to be a member of the class of '22 in the Department of Social Welfare at Ewha Womans University, and she has personally spoken about her daily life balancing acting activities and school life in an interview with Ewha Womans University Magazine.

Making a name as Seo Yi-rang in 'Doctor Cha'

The work that made the public clearly remember Lee Seo-yeon is 'Doctor Cha', which aired in 2023. In the official JTBC character introduction, Seo Yi-rang is depicted as the daughter of Cha Jeong-suk and Seo In-ho, a 19-year-old character who secretly prepares for art college entrance exams with her mother behind her father's back.

Through this role, Lee Seo-yeon took on the emotions of a daughter facing her mother's late challenge and the cracks within the family from up close. In the drama, Seo Yi-rang was a character experiencing entrance exams, family secrets, and her mother's life all at once, a role that was difficult to fully capture with just the description of being 'Uhm Jung-hwa's daughter.'

A filmography built since 'The World of Us'

Lee Seo-yeon has steadily built her filmography in dramas and movies before and after 'Doctor Cha'. Her experiences in 'Still 17', the movie 'The World of Us', and 'The House of Us' make her seen not as a sudden rookie, but as an actress who has accumulated time in front of the camera since her childhood.

The time remaining until graduation is one semester. As an actress, her next project would be the most direct upcoming news, but for the current Lee Seo-yeon, completing her studies also remains an important priority.
