Actor Yeo Jin-gu graduated from Namgang High School in Seoul on Friday.

“The last day at school gives me a sense of melancholy, but I’m proud of myself,” the 18-year-old fledging actor told the press. “I don’t know what to say.”

Yeo was accepted to Chung-Ang University, which is a private university, where he will study theater from March onwards.
