Lee So-eun Goes to U.S. Law School

Singer Lee So-eun will get to pursue her dream of becoming an international human rights lawyer. The smart and talented singer was accepted at four law schools in the United States – Northwestern, Cornell, Georgetown, and Notre Dame. Whew!! After much pondering, she has decided to go to Northwestern situated near Chicago to study international human rights and copyrights laws.

Since graduating from Korea University in February, 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in English literature, Lee has been preparing for her applications to law schools by taking LSAT, writing personal essays, and asking for recommendations.

The 27-year-old singer made her debut in 1998 when she was just a teenager. After releasing her fourth album in 2005 she decided to concentrate on her studies. She has been known for her academic excellence, getting a perfect score in TOEFL (English proficiency test) when she was just an 11th grader and receiving scholarships in college. After she settles down in the U.S., she plans to release a mini album that is representative of her musical philosophy. She is scheduled to leave in early July after appearing as a guest in Sweet Sorrow’s concert this week.
