Netizens React to MEOVV’s Gawon NYU Story: ‘She’s Probably Born with a Silver Spoon

A recent post on the popular Korean forum Pann Nate has been making waves, revealing fascinating details about MEOVV Gawon.

MEOVV’s Gawon had reportedly been admitted to the prestigious university but made the surprising decision to forgo her college education in favor of pursuing a career as a K-pop idol.

However, Gawon herself clarified the situation during her appearance on Gym Show with Kim Jong-kook. Contrary to the rumor that she chose idol life after being accepted to NYU, Gawon revealed that she had been training as a K-pop idol trainee long before applying to university.

She explained that her grandfather had always emphasized the importance of attending college, and so she decided to apply to NYU after fulfilling her responsibilities as a trainee. “My grandfather insisted I go to college. I kept my trainee life a secret. He didn’t know I was a trainee. But I wanted to show him I could get into college, so I applied,” Gawon shared.

Kim Jong-kook also joked about whether her grandfather knows she ended up not attending NYU, urging others to be cautious with that detail. “Does he not know you didn’t go? If he doesn’t, we’ll cut this part.”

Netizens comment:

• The grades for NYU aren’t exactly outstanding; it’s more of a school you can get into if you have money. If your family has some money or you’re an entertainment kid, you can easily get into NYU. 😂
• But Gawon really looks like someone born with a silver spoon, who’s good at studying and has a great career, just like the ideal image of a successful person, and it’s amazing that she actually meets all these conditions in real life.
• The top comments are probably getting annoying with their loud, exaggerated reactions, haha.
• Sorry, but she’s just not attractive… definitely not the type that’s in demand on the dating scene.
• Guess she’s probably born with a silver spoon, haha.

Gawon’s story has certainly sparked conversation, revealing not only her impressive academic background but also the dedication she has toward her idol career.

Despite rumors surrounding her decision to forgo NYU, Gawon has cleared the air, emphasizing that her path as a trainee and her grandfather’s insistence on attending college were both key factors in her journey. While opinions about her may vary, it’s clear that Gawon has managed to navigate both worlds, education and K-pop, on her own terms.
