However, Miryo suddenly left high school, surprising everyone. She explained, "Because of my academics, nobody thought that I would do music. But ever since I was young, I wanted to pursue music. When I found out that my idol, Seo Taiji, dropped out of high school, saying, 'You don't need to go to college to do music,' I agreed with him, so I also dropped out."
