2. Educational Background

Actually, acting was not my dream. I had a music-oriented childhood. On the other hand, while watching the movies, I was wondering how they were filmed. This curiosity led me to read cinema and television afterward. I graduated from cinema and television and now I am studying at the ‘Department of Law & Justice’ as a second university. Until university, I was one of the successful students who finished high school in third place, entered college in fourth place, now I’m back to the same old student mode to finish it.
