You might know the abbreviation SKY for South Korea's top three universities (Seoul National University, Korea University, and Yonsei University), but did you know that there are prestigious arts high schools that many students compete to get into? One of them is Hanlim Multi Art School, an arts high school located in Songpa District in Seoul, South Korea, founded in 1962.
Alongside the School of Performing Arts Seoul and Lila Art High School, many K-Pop idols have graduated from this prestigious school, and many more are still enrolled. This year, it is reported that the school will be having its 2023 graduation ceremony on February 10. Let's take a look at some of Hanlim's class of 2023 idols who are expected to graduate this year and wish them congratulations!
BAE 173 - Dohyun & Bit
Dohyun is known as a musical genius and is the group's rapper and maknae, while Bit is the group's vocalist. Both of them are in Hanlim's Applied Music Department and are expected to graduate this year.
ENHYPEN's leader is graduating! Prior to attending Hanlim, he was a student at Namgang High School and is now in Hanlim's Applied Music Department. He is the last member attending Hanlim, after Jay and Sunoo both graduated as the class of 2022.
MCND - Win
Another Applied Music Department student, Win is the group's rapper and maknae that is expected to graduate with the class of 2023.
Ghost9 - Lee Jinwoo
From being one of the cutest trainees in Produce X 101 to the group's maknae with the most aegyo and cuteness, he is in Hanlim's Practical Dance Department and is expected to graduate.
DKB - Harryjune
DKB's beloved maknae is also a phenomenal dancer who is in the Practical Dance Department. Not only is he one of K-Pop's 4th gen best dancers, but he is also among the top students in his class and was admitted to the school with the highest honors. Is there anything he can't do?
Check out his graduation performance below!
Weeekly - Jihan
Jihan once told a fan that her favorite musicals are ‘Mamma Mia!’ and ‘Chicago’ and this year, she will be graduating from Hanlim's Musical Theatre Department.
Woo!ah! - Minseo & Lucy
Minseo is in the Applied Music Department, while Lucy is in the Practical Dance Department. Despite being in different departments, it would be so nice to graduate together!
TAN - Kim Jiseong
Unsure which department exactly, but this rookie is majoring in rap and will also be graduating with the class of 2023!
NMIXX - Sullyoon & Bae
Four of NMIXX's members are enrolled in Hanlim, but these two will be the first to graduate. All four of NMIXX's members chose to study in the Broadcasting & Entertainment Department.

LIMELIGHT - Suhye
This soon-to-debut idol from Incheon is set to make the 'limelight' and graduate this year as well!
Did you know that she was classmates with NMIXX's Sullyoon? Must be nice to be in a class filled with goddesses. I'd be happy to go to school every day if they were my classmates. They were both in the Broadcasting and Entertainment Department.
LOUD - Lee Gyehun
Lee Gyehun is JYP Entertainment's trainee and member of the set-to-debut group, "LOUD" who is one of the longest trainees in the company. He used to train with Stray Kids and ITZY too! We're anticipating the group's debut!
