Musician and producer Code Kunst pleasantly surprised attendees at his former high school by revealing his success as a top student during a heartfelt lecture. The singer shared words of wisdom and encouragement with younger students during his visit to Yeonsu High School, his alma mater, in an episode of 'I Live Alone' aired on MBC on April 18.
Code Kunst expressed his emotions at being back where he started his journey, highlighting that he was the only musician to have graduated from Yeonsu High. His return was greeted with enthusiastic cheers from students, creating an atmosphere so vibrant that an impromptu autograph session spontaneously occurred.
During his talk on music, Code Kunst selflessly shared his personal music project files with the students for free. He clarified that his motive was not solely profit-oriented but aimed at assisting those genuinely passionate about music. This act held special significance as he seldom publicly shared such files.
In response to inquiries from students about navigating academics alongside pursuing a music career, Code Kunst reassured them that academic excellence often contributes to success in music as well. He fondly recalled achieving the top position in his class multiple times, revealing an unexpected aspect of his school days.
Emphasizing the importance of discipline and determination fostered through education, Code Kunst encouraged students by stating that age should never hinder one from embarking on a music career. Following the lecture, he organized a lucky draw event, presenting students with clothing, sneakers, LPs, and albums collectively valued at 1 million KRW (approximately $705). He concluded the day by hosting an after-party at his favorite Chinese restaurant from his school days, evoking nostalgic feelings among the attendees.
Furthermore, Code Kunst's influence extends beyond the realm of music into various entertainment programs, attracting a diverse and devoted fan base.
