Park Bo-gum was chosen as the top celebrity that Koreans want to have as a school teacher, according to a local internet lectures company.

The survey was conducted among nearly 920 students on Monday, Teacher‘s Day, asking “Which celebrity do you wish could be your school teacher?”

About 36 percent of the respondents picked Park as the top choice, while Gugudan’s Kim Se-jeong was chosen as the No. 2 choice.

“Since Park bo-gum is not only handsome but was also a student who studied hard while going through a busy schedule, students likely picked the actor,” an official from the company said. “Meanwhile, the students mostly thought that Kim Se-jeong could be a cute and charming teacher.”

Other top picks include Park Hyung-sik, Park Bo-young, IU, Yook Sung-jae, Red Velvet’s Irene and Song Joong-ki.
