The School of Performing Arts Seoul (SOPA) has long been renowned for nurturing some of South Korea's most talented individuals in the entertainment industry. Numerous South Korean celebrities, mostly K-pop idols, graduated from this esteemed institution, and many more are presently enrolled. Since idols are super busy with their hectic schedules, they usually attend SOPA instead of a regular high school.

Established in 1966, SOPA is situated in Gung-dong, Guro District, Seoul. SOPA provides students with the skills, knowledge, and opportunities they need to thrive in the highly competitive entertainment industry. Renowned for its commitment to artistic innovation and holistic development, SOPA stands as a beacon for aspiring performers, offering a comprehensive educational experience that transcends boundaries and cultivates creativity.
