Q. Why do famous k-pop idols enter art schools?
A. K-pop stars who have hectic schedules are never able to attend all the classes. However, it doesn’t really matter in art schools. As art schools’ educational system is focused on developing practical techniques, k-pop idols are allowed to be absent from school if they have official schedules.
Q. Can all the art school students become k-pop trainees?

Q. How much is the tuition fee?

Q. Do art school students learn mathematics too?
