Kim Sejeong’s agency Jellyfish Entertainment confirmed on June 5 that Kim Sejeong will be starring as Ra Eun Ho in “School 2017.” Ra Eun Ho is a cheerful high schooler who dreams to attend a prestigious university to date her first love, even though her grades are less than average.

They also requested viewers to look forward to Kim Sejeong’s bright energy and acting potential in “School 2017.”

“School 2017” is scheduled to air after “Fight My Way,” and will tell the story of high schoolers who happily rebel against the grade-oriented school system.
