Jimin talks about her unexpected study abroad session in China

"During middle school, my parents told me to go and relax with a summer vacation to China. Once I went, though, it turns out they had sent me there to study," she said. "Once I got there, parcels of my belongings began to arrive, and so I lived in China for two years. At first I was angry and cried a lot. I would make calls to Korea and fought with my parents. However, as I continued to live there, life in China started to become bearable. My stay was in Shanghai."�
