On June 15th, KARA’s Kang Ji Young shared a photo of herself in her school uniform.
While fans were charmed by her innocent look, they were more interested in her story about being tardy for school.
The tweet attached to the photo read, “I wasn’t tardy today or yesterday. I was doing the ‘V’ sign but one finger got cut off.”
A tweet from the 13th explains why Ji Young was worried about being on time for classes. It read, “Because my house is so close to school, I got ready for school slowly, which caused me to be late. Honestly, school starting at 7:50am is too early. I had to stand in the hallway because I was tardy, but less than two minutes later, I was in the classroom. M teacher is so nice, hehe. Anyways, I must not be late tomorrow.”
Netizens wrote, “Because she’s still a student she looks so pretty in a school uniform”, “Even a uniform suits her so well”, and “So cute!”.
