One will be amazed to discover that a young K-pop idol is not just beautiful but also brainy.
K-pop idols are trained at a young age to harness their singing and dancing skills. While music celebrities enjoy the flare of becoming famous, a particular female idol made a huge turn-around on her chosen path in life just to fulfill such a dream. From being a genius young girl who went to one of the most prestigious schools in Asia, she took down varied academic opportunities and is now enjoying the K-pop idol spotlight.
Who is this genius K-pop idol?
The genius female girl idol is none other than, (G)I-DLE's Yuqi. Originally from Beijing, China, Yuqi was born in 1999 and is sole child of her parents. She automatically became the center of attention to them. Aside from that, as a young girl, she was innately smart.

The genius K-pop idol Yuqi is so smart that she managed to enter the city's most highly-acclaimed middle schools. The said academe houses over 100,000 books inside its library, has five man-made lakes, and a NASA-supported greenhouse. It is also located at the captivating China's Old Summer Palace.
Thus, (G)I-DLE's Yuqi's middle school is only for "cream of the crop." While she was in school, she was never a low-key student, as she belongs to Class 1 among 14 sections. What is more impressive is that she used to hit the 2nd highest scores in her class. Alongside it, her natural beauty is the center of attention among other middle schoolers.
Pleading for her Idol Dreams
Naturally, seeing that Yuqi is an academic achiever, her parents desired to have her focus on her education. However, she was much fascinated by performing and dreamed of becoming an idol. She looks up to Hyuna and Super Junior. It was not an easy track for her, as her parents' disapproval hindered her from advancing to her dreams quickly. She once shared that she had to cry every day just to have their approval. Alas! The genius K-pop idol went to proceed to the K-pop world.
The genius K-pop idol Reached her Star
It was not a piece of (G)I-DLE's Yuqi to advance as an official K-pop idol. Like any foreign trainee, she succumbed to various hardships upon arriving in Korea. Still, after several years of training hard, she finally debuts as one of (G)I-DLE's members' in May 2018. She is the lead dancer, sub rapper, sub vocalist, and the visual of the group.
Education and the entertainment industry are two different words. Still, the genius K-pop idol chose to live in both. While Yuqi awes fans with her stellar dancing performances under the spotlight, learning that behind it is a smart girl who faced the odds to achieve her goals is something her fans should be proud of.
