Did you know that these stars considered becoming stewardesses and pilots before they debuted as idols? Some of them even majored in aviation!

However, they pursued their idol careers and chose to be seen on TV and stage rather than on airplanes and airports.

Here Are 6 Idol Who Almost Become Flight/Cabin Crew:

1. Seo Hyun Jin

Before her debut as an actress, Seo Hyun Jin, who initially gained fame as a former M.I.L.K member, mentioned that she almost became a flight attendant.

In particular, Seo debuted as an idol under the sister label of SM Entertainment in 2001. Despite her rising popularity, they disbanded and pushed her to take a rest and work part-time.

Her parents, who saw her, recommended Hyun Jin change jobs, saying:

"Why don't you try to become a foreign flight attendant?"

Seo Hyun Jin was cast in a musical while thinking about it and decided to continue the path of an actress.

2. MAMAMOO Solar

In 2016, Solar confessed in a broadcast that she had been preparing to be a stewardess until she was 20. After that, however, she felt she wasn't fit to become one amid preparation.

In March 2022, Solar mentioned in a documentary that she attended a flight attendant-related department when she was a university student.
