Viewers were impressed with actress Cha Joo Young's academic background, which is contrasting with her character Choi Hye Jung on Netflix's 'The Glory.'

Following the drama's success, numerous online community discussions have been established to discuss the cast members. Recently, a post about Cha Joo Young's impressive academic credentials has garnered the attention of many online users.

The post included content from an interview the actress had with The Daily Sports back in 2018. According to the interview, Cha Joo Young graduated from the University of Utah with a bachelor's degree in business management.

The University of Utah is a state research university located in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is the oldest institution of higher education in the western United States. Having provided world-class education for more than 168 years, the University of Utah is recognized as a top university for business programs for entrepreneurship.

In the interview, Cha Joo Young was asked, "Why did you want to become an actress?" She replied, "Basically, there are many things I wanted to do. And I loved watching movies. I was interested in film, music, and arts. I majored in business management because my father was against arts or physical education because he was conservative. So, I majored in business management. but to be honest, studying business management was fun."

She added, "When I was younger, I would get cast on the streets a lot but then I wasn't interested back then so I just studied. But then I got cast during college so I thought I'd give it a try instead of regretting later on for not giving it a try."

After this interview was brought to attention again, netizens commented, "Wow, she was really smart, I'm envious," "Flight attendant Hye Jung is actually really smart," "She has everything," "She acts so well," "I loved her acting in 'The Glory,'" "Wow, she's really amazing," "I can't believe she said studying business management was fun," and "She's the type to do well in everything. So jealous."

Meanwhile, Cha Joo Young debuted with the drama 'Cheese in the Trap' back in 2016. After that, she appeared in various dramas such as 'Love in the Moonlight,' 'Again My Life,' and more. 

She is currently playing the role of Choi Hye Jung in the Netflix drama 'The Glory' and is garnering attention for her acting.
