Actor Kim Hwan-hee has caught everyone’s attention by sharing the news of her university graduation and showing how much she has grown.
On the 2nd, Kim Hwan-hee posted on her SNS, “I graduated! It’s been a tumultuous five years. Looking back, every single memory was happiness. Goodbye, Hanyang,” along with photos from her graduation ceremony.
In the photos, she is seen beaming with a bright smile, holding her diploma while wearing the blue graduation gown and cap that symbolize Hanyang University. One shot, captured under stage lighting, looks just like a scene from a drama, completely stealing the spotlight.
Fans and netizens flooded her with congratulations, commenting, “I’m so proud she’s already graduated,” “Time flies since I’ve seen her as a child actor,” “I can’t wait for her next project,” and “What’s important? Graduation is what’s important!”
Kim Hwan-hee previously made headlines in 2021 when she was accepted into the Department of Theater and Film at Hanyang University through the early admission process. She even revealed in a past interview that she was once the top student in her department and received a full scholarship, showing her dedication to balancing both academics and acting.
Beyond acting, she has also shown a keen interest in performance sound design. She shared her new dream, stating, “After participating as a staff member rather than an actor, I realized that the process of creating something is joyful in itself. I hope to participate in a project as a sound director someday.”
Born in 2002, Kim Hwan-hee debuted in the 2008 SBS drama ‘Bulhandang’. She left a powerful impression on the public as Hyo-jin in the movie ‘The Wailing’ with her iconic line, “What’s important” (뭣이 중헌디), and proved her talent by winning the Best New Actress award at the 53rd Grand Bell Awards.
Since then, she has built a solid acting career through various works such as ‘Beautiful World’, ‘I’ll Go to You When the Weather is Nice’, and ‘I Have a Goal’. Most recently, she increased the immersion of the ENA drama ‘Scarecrow’ with a short but impactful appearance.
